The Grammar of Our Civility

Classical Education in America

Beschreibung

The pragmatic demands of American life have made higher education's sustained study of ancient Greece and Rome an irrelevant luxury - and this despite the fact that American democracy depends so heavily on classical language, literature, and political theory. In The Grammar of Our Civility, Lee Pearcy chronicles how this came to be.
