{"product_id":"grammar-of-our-civility","title":"Grammar of Our Civility","description":"The pragmatic demands of American life have made higher education's sustained study of ancient Greece and Rome an irrelevant luxury - and this despite the fact that American democracy depends so heavily on classical language, literature, and political theory. In \u003ci\u003eThe Grammar of Our Civility\u003c\/i\u003e, Lee T. Pearcy chronicles how this came to be. Pearcy argues that classics never developed a distinctly American way of responding to distinctly American social conditions. Instead, American classical education simply imitated European models that were designed to underwrite European culture. \u003ci\u003eThe Grammar of Our Civility\u003c\/i\u003e also offers a concrete proposal for the role of classical education, one that takes into account practical expectations for higher education in twenty-first century America.","brand":"Baylor University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54250379805016,"sku":"9781932792164","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781932792164_bd1fa173-405a-48dc-85e7-3922d1a58a0d.jpg?v=1778655672","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/grammar-of-our-civility","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
