The teaching of Classics

This collection of essays, the first book of its kind for more than twenty-five years, offers a series of snapshots of where the teaching of Classics stands at the start of the twenty-first century.

The Teaching of Classics outlines how teaching of the subject has developed and arrived at its present situation and suggests strategies for the future.

In addition, the book communicates the sense of innovatory excitement that surrounds current initiatives, celebrates the successes in the two major growth areas - primary and adult education - and confronts the dangers that face the subject with clear-eyed realism.
