EMPIRICAL EDUCATION VS. POETIC KNOWLEDGE IN SKELLIG BY DAVID ALMOND

Author’s name:

Abstract:

The article analyzes two different concepts of education represented in the children‟s novel Skellig by the British author David Almond: the traditional school  system vs. home schooling and self-development. Empirical education and poetic knowledge that the young protagonists get to experience are embodied in the  figures of Charles Darwin and William Blake. These references form the allusive layer of the text.
