HISTORY THROUGH LITERATURE

Combining archival and location footage, reenactments, commentary by historians, and insightful readings by Robert Pinsky, Poet Laureate of the United States, the series provides a broad framework for piecing together the important movements, significant people, and major turning points in Western cultural history. This framework is fleshed out with a connective tissue of fascinating details that help students understand who goes with what-and when. For example, Renaissance and Reformation notes that the renowned humanist scholars Sir Thomas More and Erasmus belonged to the first generation of college students educated with printed books. A reproducible guide includes summaries, chronologies, extensive teaching tips, and the script. Appropriate for courses in AP European History and AP English Literature, as well as for general world history and humanities classes.
