First edition of this major, 400+ page collection of essays on the troubled fate of humane literacy in an inhuman era; "To read Aeschylus or Shakespeare -- let alone to teach them -- as if the texts, as if the authority of the texts in our lives, were immune from recent history, is subtle but corrosive illiteracy."
