过渡时期英国富裕农民的教育状况

The Education of Well-to-do Peasants during the Transition Period of England

富裕农民阶层是英国社会过渡时期的中坚力量,是乡村社会的精英群体。他们发起和推动了农业革命,同时参与国家行政管理和司法活动,并在资本主义进程中逐渐与其他阶层融合,形成了英国最早的农业资产阶级。从富裕农民接受教育的社会条件、教育作为缩短与其他社会阶层的手段以及富裕农民的文化教育水平等几个方面,可以透视出他们在英国社会过渡时期的领头羊地位和对英国资本主义的启动作用。

The well-to-do peasants were the backbone and elite group in the transition period of England. They initiated and promoted agriculture revolution, took part in national administration and judicial activities, and became the earliest agricultural capitalist class based on mixture with other classes. From several aspects, such as social situation for receiving education of the well-to-to peasants, the education as the means to fill the gap between themselves and other classes, and level of culture and education of the well-to-to peasants, it can be seen that the well-to-do peasants were bellwether in the social transformation of England and further became the generator of capitalism of England.
