Beschreibung

PEASE, Cyril. The Schooling of Icarus the Younger. 21 - xi - 21. A six page typescript with pencil corrections and additions. A note at the head in another hand suggests this was probably written for an Essay Society. 268mm x 208mm. 1921. Cyril Arthington Pease (1868-1923), was educated at Oxford, and became a headmaster. He translated The Toils and Travels of Odysseus (1916). He was also Secretary of the Fabian Society, and a close friend of Alfred Orage, who was: "befriended by Cyril Arthington Pease, a fellow teacher [in Leeds] who possessed the rare distinction of a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oxford, but, not certificated, was paid even less than Orage. From a substantial middle-class family, Pease was also an active member of the ILP. He was one of those who had joined because he could not tolerate the idea that his privileges had been acquired at the expense of the impoverishment of the many and had posed the question for himself â How can I live without robbing someone else?' Like Orage, he had chosen to teach in a poor working-class area. He left Leeds ten years later to found a school run on progressive lines in Letchworth Garden City, in its pioneering days, and in 1905 invited Orage to join him." Ref: Steele, Tom.
