I am sure that many readers can relate if I say that learning about Byzantium feels like discovering the sunken civilization of Atlantis.

Prof. Hudson’s main thesis is absolutely... Read More
Earlier: Donna Zuckerberg's Woke Classics Mag Denounces Pericles' Anti-Immigrant Citizenship Law of 451 BC “We are citizens of our age as much as of our countries,” as Schiller remarked, and one of the purposes of studying old books is to overcome temporal provincialism: the prejudices of the present. Our enemies certainly know this; that is... Read More

When you live in a 200-year-old house, you would do well to give it a thorough inspection every few years.
