Literate Education in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds
Her most cited book, Literate Education in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds, is about Hellenistic and Roman education and re-interprets the function of literature, grammar and rhetoric in education, as well as looking at Hellenistic and Roman theories of cognitive development.[6]
A review of the book in the American Journal of Philology stated when looking at the evidence for elementary education "Morgan performs a valuable service in reviewing it systematically".[7]A review of the book in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review stated although it "provides close and often insightful readings of them" that it is "often unsuccessful for several reasons".[8]
Morgan's Literate Education in the Hellenistic and Roman Worlds is on the reading lists for some of the modules and courses of university level education in England and the United States.
