Drama and Moral Education. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2009, Pages: 184
This study is an inquiry into the uses of drama and
theatre for purposes of moral education by Maria Edgeworth in
France and Ireland in the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries. This research examines
Edgeworth’s use of theatre and drama to
teach moral education. As part of the
Théâtre
d’Éducation, an educational,
creative, and philosophical movement from 1750-1830, selected
Maria Edgeworth’s plays are examined as
contextual examples of moral education pedagogy. This
research is significant in that it adds to the general
knowledge and understanding of the historical and ideological
components that are the origins of theatre pedagogy that
influence our field of theatre for youth and child drama.
This research focuses on the transformative thematic
structure of the plays, their use in the promotion of
symbolic ideology, and a construct of a unified identity, all
used to teach moral education. This research is directed
towards researchers in the fields of theatre, literature, and
educational theory.
