Book Overview
The Making and the Unmaking of a Dullard is a book written by Thomas Edward Shields and published in 1909. The book is a memoir that tells the story of Shields' struggles with his own intellectual limitations and his journey to overcome them. The author describes his childhood experiences of feeling like a ""dullard"" and being constantly compared to his more intelligent siblings. Shields recounts his efforts to improve his academic performance, including attending night school and studying under a private tutor. The book also explores the societal pressures and expectations placed on individuals to excel academically, and the impact this can have on one's self-esteem. Ultimately, Shields' story is one of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity, and a testament to the power of hard work and dedication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
