This book challenges the common view that classical education in 19
th
-century Germany was dominated by a progressive ideal called“neohumanism.R 1; The prevailing ideal of education at the German
Gymnasien
was emphatically traditional and is best described as
classical
humanism. Moreover, this 19
th
-century classical humanism dynamically related to modern society and should therefore be seen as the continuation of a
living
tradition.
