Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The narrative revolves around Stringfellow Barr and Scott Buchanan, two college educators who boldly challenge traditional undergraduate curricula by establishing an all-required four-year program centered on great books at St. John's College in 1937. Their journey is marked by a commitment to intellectual freedom, as they confront the societal issues of the Cold War, civil liberties, and McCarthyism. Drawing from unpublished manuscripts and extensive correspondence, the story highlights their personal courage and unwavering convictions in the face of professional risk.
