Seven Books That Everyone Once Read and No One Now Does
Authors
Synopsis
This is a book about books that played a significant part in the 2,000+-year-old civilisation that Europeans have in common. It considers seven books that, over long periods of time, had large numbers of readers – in some cases from Dublin to Budapest and Stockholm to Naples – but which are now rarely read outside the scholarly communities that guard their memory. The books range in time from Cicero’s On Duties in the first century BC to Walter Scott’s Waverley in the early nineteenth century.
This is a work that demonstrates the central place of the book in European culture. It concludes with a recommendation to read these seven books, and with a discussion of the different types and purposes of reading – to encounter great minds from the past, to analyse the book’s impact on oneself when totally engrossed, when intermittently raising one’s head from the text and, most blissfully of all, when alone and glancing out of the windows of a train.
The author is a historian who has written extensively on the history of educational thought and on international education, and is the author of The Conservative Case for Education. He has lived and worked in England, Scotland, Spain, France, and Switzerland, and held senior posts in education – most notably as chief executive of England’s school curriculum and assessment agencies, in which role he was chief adviser to England’s secretaries of state for education, and as director-general of the International School of Geneva. Most recently, he has been adviser to the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) in Hungary.
