Oxford at the Crossroads

This thought-provoking work by Percy Gardner is a critique of the classics curriculum at Oxford University in the late 19th century. Gardner argues that the teaching of the classics has become too focused on linguistic analysis at the expense of critical engagement with the texts. He also offers suggestions for how the curriculum could be reformed to better serve the needs of students. A must-read for educators and those interested in the history of education.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
