Dorothy Sayers is one of my favorite mystery novelists. (I recommend all of her novels featuring Lord Peter Wimsey.) I didn’t know until very recently that she also published a well-received translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy as well as numerous academic and religious works.
In this essay, she tackles education, suggesting that we (or England, rather) return to the medieval method: teaching the Trivium and the Quadrivium.
Given her low opinion of education in 1930s England, I’d hate to think what she would say of today’s public education system.
