Abstract

In the years around 1800, Andrew Bell and Joseph Lancaster each developed schemes for the education of large numbers of students. Although the two have frequently been said to be virtually identical, I argue that they are substantially different. These differences emerge most forcibly in Bell’s and Lancaster’s different ways of representing students’ interchanges with one another and their alternative depictions of copying as a social and intellectual operation.
