Perhaps, at just this moment, we can make the intellectual world safe for the academy’s stock villain: the loathed dead white male. Perhaps we can make the academy safe once again, not so much for democracy but for Longfellow.Share

What a nice article. Thanks for the link. Dead white men figure prominently in our homeschool curriculum. In fact, just tonight I set aside a 1915 Washington Irving book for my son, The Alhambra. I found it over at Google Books using a 1911 children's bibliography. Man, I love Google Books!
I can't wait to read it...I read a lot of my son's books.
I used to have a "hard copy" of The Alhambra, and it might still be around somewhere. I love Google books, too!
