We are familiar with the folktales, legends and myths that build the imaginative framework of Western literature. We know the answer to questions like: How did Red Riding Hood escape the great Wolf's belly? or Why does Demeter weep each winter? But we have no idea who shot down nine suns and saved the world from burning or what became…

We all know of The Great Bard, Shakespeare. We are all at least vaguely familiar with the natural world that surrounds us. It may be the case, though, that a relationship with the one actually relies at least partially upon a relationship with the other. The plays of Shakespeare are full of a common language of the land: birds, flowers,…

While the series might appear to some as an apparent grab-bag of creative fixtures from time’s attic, the Chronicles in both genre and form weave together these disparate threads into an ordered tapestry which…

“As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.” This quotation from Proverbs 25:25 follows the title of C. S. Lewis’s The Pilgrim’s Regress, and it evokes the by now very Lewisian idea of sehnsucht, that sweet, painful longing for some unnamable thing just out of reach. Lewis, in his preface to the third…

Dr. Jason Baxter's book, Why Literature Still Matters hit a nerve, so much so that readers not only agreed with the premise (that we need literature in our technological age) but wanted to know: "Yes, I agree, but now what?

Many important Western texts, such as Virgil’s Aeneid, are best enjoyed in the original language. There are other benefits to studying Latin, of course, but we should always approach another language…
