Book Description
An engaging, accessible guide to educating yourself in the classical
tradition.
Surrounded by more books than ever, readers today are frequently
daunted by the classics they have left unread. The Well-Educated Mind,
debunking our own inferiority complexes, is a wonderful resource for
anyone wishing to explore and develop the mind's capacity to read and
comprehend the "greatest hits" in fiction, autobiography, history,
poetry, and drama. Far from tossing readers into the swarming sea of
classics and demanding that they swim, this book offers brief,
entertaining histories of five literary genres, accompanied by
detailed instructions on how to read each type. The annotated lists at
the close of each chapterranging from Cervantes to A. S. Byatt,
Herodotus to Paul Gilroypreview recommended reading and encourage
readers to make vital connections between ancient traditions and
contemporary writing. Based on the same classical method as Bauer's
terrifically successful The Well-Trained Mind, The Well-Educated Mind
provides not only a thorough grounding in the classics but also a
widely applicable foundation for self-education.
