      ‘I have ten thousand florins a year without Greek, I eat heartily without Greek.’

      This passage comes from Oliver Goldsmith's (1730-1774) novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and seems to ask whether education ought to be directed squarely towards vocational training (as clear from Clerval's father's opinion), or whether learning the classical languages or literature (or "the Greeks") is valuable in itself.

      relic of the outmoded classical curriculumT and in olhcrs it was absorbed into the study of classics.

      Rather ironic considering how many ignored the classics.

      they were edited again before being published; antislavery tracts might furnish material for speeches.

      Correct me if I am wrong, was this not the manner in which Roman orations were presented?

      , including some works in Latin am.I Greek. Composition in the vernacular replaced Latin composition throughout the Continent, and Latin dis~ appeared almost completely from the public primary schools.

      Why is there such a move from the classics?

      They retain enough references to the heroes of the classical tradition and enough illustrations translated from great Greek and Latin works to provide an overview for scholars not versed in the originals

      Astell recommended that women study virtually every subject that men studied ex-cept for classical languages

      Odd...

      Just about one hundred years later, Mary Wollstonecraft publishes "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman." In addition to the denial of women from certain, albeit many, areas of discourse, she is also angered that there is no aim, no "simple principle" as she puts it, for women to strive for.

      Odd because in this age, wouldn't "male principles" derive mainly from the classical texts?
