Literature is an essential part of a classical education, but where does one start? With the ‘building blocks of stories’. The Great Books are made up of these building blocks and understanding them is the key to understanding authors like Dante and Shakespeare. Our two summer classes cover myths and fairy tales, two of the most important of these building blocks.
Join us for Fairy Tales:
How do we read these tales of wonder, violence and strangeness? And how could they possibly be connected to The Greatest Story Ever Told? The answers to these questions are sure to surprise and delight you! Our week long Fairy Tales class will cover why and how to read these often misunderstood stories and the many ways they have influenced the greatest writers of all time.
