Erasmus Darwinconvergencias con Jovellanos y Moratín en pautas de educación y de instrucción femenina a finales del siglo XVIII

Abstract

In relation to the conduct literature of the late 18th century, a varied list of European works due to their convergence in the concern and interest in the education and instruction of young people. The type of analysis advocated by Bolufer (2002) observes at a European level the development of female education and allows the analysis of contributions that made Enlightened authors coincide in different genres. Following this line of work, this study analyses the contribution made by scientist Erasmus Darwin (A Plan for the Conduct of Female Education, 1797) and explores its curious convergence with the ideas that Jovellanos would later write in his exile in Mallorca (Memoria sobre educación pública, 1801) or with the observations on the English woman that Moratin had collected earlier in his Apuntaciones sueltas de Inglaterra (1792-93)
