Drama and Moral Education:. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 180
This study is an inquiry into the uses of drama and
theatre for purposes of moral education by Maria
Edgeworth 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.
