Below is a table of the recommended reading for students studying for the University of Plymouth’s Steiner Waldorf Education, a BA degree course. Lay-out constraints imposed by WordPress can make it messy to read and view in some browsers. If you have a problem making sense of the list just copy and paste it into an Excel sheet, it’ll be fine in Excel.
The reading list was current for academic year 2008/9. The information was passed on to me by a person who’d had to resort to using Freedom of Information law to force Plymouth to reveal it. My copy of the information is in photocopy form and some pages of it are a bit mucky. So, some of the info in the table will have a ? mark indicating that the data is questionable. Note that some mistakes in the wording of titles etc within the original Plymouth reading lists has been retained. I’ll edit the table when time permits and blog readers are invited meanwhile to notify me of errors within the listing or to alert me to examples of racism or anything else within the texts that need airing.
