"False Fonde Bookes, Ballades and Rimes": An Aspect of Informal Education in Early Modern England.

Charlton, Kenneth

History of Education Quarterly, v27 n4 p449-71 Win 1987

Explains the negative response of those in authority to early modern English literature which informally educated the population through "false fonde bookes, ballades, and rimes." This negative response, based on both moral and political grounds, came from clerics who saw such books as detrimental to the social structure of society. (BSR)
