The Young Composers: Composition's Beginnings in Nineteenth-Century Schools

by Lucille M. Schultz

Book Overview

Lucille M. Schultz's The Young Composers: Composition's Beginnings in Nineteenth-Century Schools is the first full-length history of school-based writing instruction. Schultz demonstrates that writing instruction in nineteenth-century American schools is much more important in the overall history of writing instruction than we have previously assumed.
