Research Abstract

This study examined the relationship between literature and education in nineteenth century Britain with special focus on Dickens, Gaskell and Gissing. It investigated what view they had about education, and how they were involved in education in their real life. By reading their works alongside various books and articles on education at the period, this study also analyzed how they represent the act of teaching, learning and growing in their works, and how they advocate the importance of literature, which can offer different kind of education from the one offered at school. Centering on the idea of education of sympathy, it illuminated the process of each author's defining his/her educational role and fashioning his/her identity as a novelist.
