The Gentle Voices of Teachers: Aspects of Learning in the Carolingian Age

by Richard Eugene Sullivan

Taken together, these essays provide a synthesis of current work in Carolingian cultural history - a rare commodity in English. This volume offers much that is provocative and challenging to scholars of cultural history and of the early Middle Ages, but it is presented in a style accessible to the nonspecialist as well. "The Gentle Voices of Teachers" is a major contribution to its field and will appeal to anyone interested in the history of education, music, religion, and art, and in the interaction of cultural and political history.

[Dave Van Es · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this book in its entirety last week (I did not have time to update goodreads at that moment) for my Philosophy and History of Education class. I wrote a paper on Carolingian education and this book was hugely influential in that paper. I focused a lot on ch.3, but the entire book was rather good.
