Idleness and the Ideal of the Gentlemen.
Wagner, Ann
History of Education Quarterly, v25 n1-2 p41-55 Spr-Sum 1985
The conceptual and cultural background for Puritan opposition to idleness are examined. Also included is a review of the educational ideals portrayed in the sixteenth-century "courtesy literature" (intended for instruction of the aristocracy). A likely source for Puritan views is England rather than New England. (RM)
