Autor

Frederick James Gould (1855-1938) was a notable British educator, writer, and a fervent advocate for Secularism and Rationalism. Gould devoted much of his life to education and the spread of humanistic ideals, with a particular focus on moral education for children. His pedagogical contributions are underscored in his works, which often aimed to present history and ethics in an accessible manner for young readers. A significant example of this is 'The Children's Plutarch: Tales of the Romans' (1910), where Gould reinterpreted Plutarch's Lives with a presentation fitting for the younger audience. Through engaging narratives, Gould sought to instill in children not only knowledge of Roman history but also the moral virtues exemplified by its most renowned figures. Gould's approach to writing was characterized by clarity and a moral imperative, conveying complex subjects with a simplicity and directness designed to appeal to the developing minds of his intended audience. His contributions to literature extend beyond historical retellings, encompassing various fields including secularist thought and social reform, which are evident in his other works such as 'The History of Freemasonry' (1885) and 'Children's Book of Moral Lessons' (1909). Gould's legacy in literature and education remains a testament to his commitment to rational thought and the moral upliftment of society.
