Abstract

The article establishes an interchange with the thinking of
other researchers who have also selected A Brief Course in the
History of Education, authored in 1907 by American writer
Paul Monroe, as an object of study and focus of investigation.
To that end, it discusses the chosen encyclopedic format, the
emphasis given to certain previously orchestrated educational
experiences, as well as the omission of others. The wide
circulation that the book enjoyed makes it possible to
scrutinize how it influenced the formation of a specific
narrative style, both for the production of historiography as
well as in teaching the Histories of Education.
