The State, The People, And The Colony: Towards A Critical History Of Early Newfoundland Literacy, Leona M. English
Adult Education Research Conference
Adult literacy in nineteenth century Newfoundland was greatly influenced by the island’s positioning, first as a colony of Britain, and later as a struggling country dependent on experts, pedagogical methods and philanthropy from the home country and its religious institutions.
