The Well-Trained Mind A Guide to Classical Education at Home Hardcover - 1999

by Susan Wise Bauer


From the publisher

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 wishingto 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 chapter--ranging from Cervantes to A. S. Byatt, Herodotus to Paul Gilroy--preview 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.
