How Now, Great Books? (A New Britannica Blog Forum)
      

Revisiting (yet again) those classics that refuse to die ...

This week at the Britannica Blog we'll revisit the Great Books in a new forum you're invited to join.

An assortment of latter-day Great Bookies will discuss the place of the classics in the world today and probe some of the issues about reading and liberal education that linger fifty years after the height of the Great Books "craze" and fifteen years, give or take, since the so-called "canon wars" of the eighties and nineties ended, more, it seems, from battle fatigue among the combatants than a decisive victory by either side.

We hope you'll join the discussions and debate.
