“‘Jean Paul’ Richter, Charles Kingsley and Education: A Case for European
Influence on English Education?" ANZHES Journal Vol. 11, No. 2 (1982):
37-47.
Leinster-MacKay and Finkelstein examine Kingsley the educationist.
They argue that it is likely that Kingsley’s educational views may have
been strongly influenced by those of Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825).
They focus on four principal themes in establishing the links: a) stress
on the vernacular rather than the classics; b) the child’s need of a loving
environment; c) manliness and moral education; d) the education of females.
In these areas both Richter and Kingsley “were largely in a state of intellectual
congruence and as such, show in no uncertain manner, a similar Rousseauvian
flavour as heirs to the naturalistic philosophy of education” (46).
