Adam Smith and the Teaching of English Literature.
Court, Franklin E.
History of Education Quarterly, v25 n3 p325-40 Fall 1985
Adam Smith used selections from English literature in his classroom during the eighteenth century because he believed that vernacular literature could provide a ready context for the teaching of ideological, social, and moral lessons. He believed that higher education should prepare students for the real business of the real world. (RM)
