The work for which he had prepared himself through all of his life, a Biblical epic in the grand classic manner, is also a crowning product of ripe, autumnal Renaissance culture.” Soft 674p #435-765 $11.00 While our selections for the “rhetoric stage” remain sparse, this is one title that students at this age will be challenged by. An irrefutable and powerful indictment of our culture.

Soft 184 p #435-060 $14.00 Brave New World Aldous Huxley C.S. Lewis said, while writing of The Fairie Queene, that “no prig can be a Spenserian.” Classical educational enthusiasts can fall prey to the temptations of schoolmarmish priggeries.

Soft 528p #520-160 $18.00 This famous treatise on statecraft holds such power to shock ‘men of goodwill’ that at one time Machiavelli (1469-1527) was identified with Satan himself.
