Chapter 5Uses and abuses of literature: The subject of Literature as a resource for the history of secondary education
Introduction This Chapter, Developed by TEI of MESSOLONGI, Department of Applied Informatics in Management and Economy, eBusiness Lab (GR) highlights how literature has always occupied a major place in school curricula and it can therefore provide a valuable resource for the study of the history of education. This Chapter describes the different parameters that bear in the teaching of this specific subject in secondary education, which are also the areas to which one should direct his/her research (literature schoolbooks, other educational aspects related to literature teaching, wider historical context). In presenting these research areas that help understand the uses to which literature is put in the educational systems of different historical periods, the chapter contents refer to some cases in point that have been developed in the research paper presented in the “Writing History Online” Section “Dictatorship and Literature Teaching in Secondary Education in Greece (1936-1940)” by Lambros Varelas.
