Beschreibung:
Tracy Lee Simmons is a journalist who writes widely on literary and cultural matters. He holds a master's degree in classics from Oxford.
In Climbing Parnassus, winner of the 2005 Paideia Prize, Tracy Lee Simmons presents a defense and vindication of the formative power of Greek and Latin. His persuasive witness to the unique, now all-but-forgotten advantages of study in and of the classical languages constitutes a bracing reminder of the genuine aims of a truly liberal education.
