The Grammar of Our Civility

Wearing his immense learning lightly, Lee T. Pearcy cogently and eloquently synthesizes a vast amount of previous scholarship to envision a new form of American classical education.

~Judith P. Hallett, University of Maryland, College Park

The Grammar of Our Civility is a cri de coeur on behalf of reestablishing classical studies at the core of a new curriculum, one that draws on the distinctly American contact with the classical tradition.

~Ward W. Briggs Jr., Carolina Distinguished Professor of Classics, University of South Carolina

...one of the book’s greatest strengths is that it outlines a framework within which classical scholarship and classical education would complement each other for the purpose of creating a distinctly American form of classical education. All in all, a highly original and provocative treatment of the history and purposes of the study of Ancient Greece and Rome in America’s schools.

~David Pollio, Christopher Newport University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
