Our teachers have carefully selected classical education textbooks which present their course materials in an organized manner, but which also reflect our primary mission to provide a rigorous and thorough preparation for the life of the mind in Christ. Please read the information supplied in their notes carefully. In some cases, you may be able to substitute editions, but not in others. In many cases, used versions of the textbook will be available through Amazon or ABE Books. If you have any questions about the appropriateness of a text for your student, or about the correct edition to buy, please contact the teacher.
During the early part of the calendar year, the bookstore may list textbooks for courses from both the current academic year, and the upcoming summer and fall academic years. Not all textbooks will be listed until teachers approve course descriptions and select their books. Be sure that you order books for the correct enrollment year.

Latin III (1526) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |

|
Latin IV (Caesar and Vergil) (1527) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
Caesar: Selections from his Commentarii De Bello Gallico [Any edition] Hans-Friedrich Mueller, G. Julius CaesarNotes: Prices on this have fluctuated severely over the last few years. It should be around $45. If it goes skyrocketing from there, let me know via email and we'll come up with some alternative solution. If Amazon is tweaking the prices unreasonably, check into the option directly from the publisher here: http://www.bolchazy.com/Caesar-Selections-from-his-Commentarii-De-Bello-Gallico-P3161.aspx |
Required: |
Syntactical Mechanics [Edition required: 1] Bruce A. McMenomyNotes: This book is also required for Latin III, so continuing students will already have a copy. |
Required: |
The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works: Gallic War, Civil War, Alexandrian War, African War, and Spanish War [Edition required: 1] C. Julius Caesar, Kurt A. Raaflalaub (ed.), Robert B. Strassler (series editor)Notes: This is a magnificent book and a bargain for what it contains. If it's prohibitive, please let me know. I would permit another translation of Caesar's text, but this edition supplies a great deal of supporting information that will make the shape of Caesar's campaigns vastly more accessible. In either case I will be assigning readings from the accompanying web document (which is available freely to all) — which contains about 325 pages of material that wouldn't fit into the book itself. |
Required: |
Vergil's Aeneid: Expanded Collection [Any edition] P. Vergilius Maro, Barbara W. Boyd |
Required: |
Why Vergil?: A Collection of Interpretations [Any edition] Stephanie Quinn |
|
Latin V (Latin Literature) (1528) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar [Any edition] J. B. Greenough, G. L. Kittredge, A. A. Howard, Benj. L. D'Ooge, Anne MahoneyNotes: The hardbound copy may be substituted; if money is an issue, one can dispense with this and rely on the online version, which is accessible through the Moodle website. Access to the text in some form, however, is essential for the various grammatical issues that arise. |
Required: |
Horace: Selected Odes and Satire [Any edition] Q. Horatius Flaccus, Ronnie Ancona |
Required: |
The Catullan Revolution [Edition required: 1] Kenneth QuinnNotes: The older edition will suffice if one can find it used. |
Required: |
Writing Passion: A Catullus Reader [Any edition] C. Valerius Catullus, Ronnie Ancona |
Optional: |
Latin Dictionary Founded on Andrew's Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary [Any edition] Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, William FreundNotes: This is one of the larger (and more expensive) dictionaries available for serious Latinists. Unlike the larger and more recent Oxford Latin Dictionary, its range extends up to about 600 A. D., and so is more useful for those interested in Mediaeval Latin. Definitely not required, though some suitable dictionary is required. This is old enough that it is also available in many forms in addition to the cumbersome volume from Oxford: the Logeion site online offers its material for free and in very good format. |
Optional: |
Oxford Latin Dictionary [Any edition] P. G. W. GlareNotes: Emphatically not required, this is probably the most comprehensive Classical Latin dictionary avaiable in English today; it is also the most expensive. Its coverage does not extend much beyond A.D. 200, however, and so it is probably not as useful as Lewis and Short for those who want to pursue later Latin. |
|
Courses in Greek |
Greek III (1537) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
A Greek Reader for Schools [Any edition] C. E. Freeman, W. D. LoweNotes: This is a reprint of a much older book, but still a solid selection of readings which are both entertaining and conducive to the development of fluency. Most of the passages have been edited somewhat from their original forms (Herodotus' Ionic dialect has been systematically Atticized throughout), but the work is solid and tractable. |
Required: |
Plato: Apology [Any edition] Plato, James J. Helm (Editor) |
Required: |
Syntactical Mechanics [Any edition] Bruce A. McMenomy |
Optional: |
All the Greek Verbs [Any edition] N. MarinoneNotes: Not required, but this volume is worth its weight in frustration: it locates verbs according to their (often wildly divergent) principal parts. |
Optional: |
An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon, Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon [Any edition] H. G. Liddell, Robert ScottNotes: This is enough of a Greek lexicon to carry the student through an undergraduate career in classics and well into graduate school. It is not required for this course, but it will always be helpful and will not quickly become obsolete. It is worth noting that there are iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch versions of the full Liddell and Scott (which retails for about $200 if you can find it on sale) for two or three dollars. If you have the necessary hardware, this is a very congenial solution to the lexicon problem. |
Optional: |
Greek Grammar [Any edition] Herbert Weir Smyth, Gordon M. MessingNotes: Not absolutely required, but very strongly recommended. If you have funds to buy only one non-required volume for Greek, this should be it. Revised edition. |

GTreichel, John Townsend, David TreichelNotes: The hardcover, softcover, and eBook versions of the ninth edition include all materials required for the course. This edition has been out for several years and should be widely available used and at significantly less cost than the current edition 10. Please be sure to purchase the 9th edition as the materials are not the same within editions.

Fairy Tales, Myths and Folklore (1599) • [2021] Alexandra Dascalu Nelson |
---|
|
Summer Shakespeare I (1525) • [2021 (Summer)] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
A Midsummer Night's Dream [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
As You Like It [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
Julius Caesar [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
King Lear [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
Richard II [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
Romeo and Juliet [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
The Merchant of Venice [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
The Taming of the Shrew [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Required: |
Twelfth Night [Any edition] William Shakespeare |
Optional: |
All of Shakespeare [Any edition] Maurice CharneyNotes: NOT required. A convenient middle-weight overview of the whole Shakespeare corpus by a scholar and theorist of theater. Not as penetrating as Garber or Bloom, but somewhat more accessible. |
Optional: |
Essential Shakespeare Handbook [Any edition] Leslie Dunton-Downer, Alan Riding, Karen Wilks (Designer), Elizabeth Wyse (Editor)Notes: NOT required. This book provides a systematic overview of the whole corpus of Shakespeare plays in an accessible and colorful form, with notes on famous performances, themes, settings, and other such details. It is very useful for a student first getting to know Shakespeare, and equally useful for an advanced student wanting to have the ability to see the corpus in outline. |
Optional: |
Shakespeare After All [Any edition] Marjorie GarberNotes: NOT required. A useful book covering all of Shakespeare's plays critically and thoughtfully, aware of contemporary scholarly trends but not overly encumbered by them. |
Optional: |
Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human [Any edition] Harold BloomNotes: NOT Required. A celebrated and widely cited book, filled with Bloom's own highly personal approach to the various plays in the Shakespeare corpus. Appropriate for the more advanced general reader or the serious scholar; certain to be intimidating for the novice. |
Optional: |
Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare [Any edition] Stephen GreenblattNotes: NOT required. This is a fascinating recent biographical discussion of how Shakespeare's life may have shaped his work. All Shakespeare biography is chancy, and theories about Shakespearean authorship tend largely to divert us from the more serious issues of understanding his plays, but this study has some material relevance to the material at hand. Suitable for more mature readers; probably not appropriate for younger readers. |
|
World Literature (1529) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
World Literature [Any edition] Susan Wittig Albert, Richard Cohen, Rose Sallberg Kam, David Adams Leeming, Thomas Monsell, Carroll Moulton, Susanna Nied, Eileen Hillary OshinskyNotes: Be sure to obtained the revised edition as specified by the ISBN. Copies are available used at ridiculously low prices: do read the descriptions of their condition to avoid getting something that is just falling apart. |
|
Western Literature to Dante (1530) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature [Any edition] Erich Auerbach, Willard R. Trask (tr.) |
Required: |
Ten Greek Plays in Contemporary Translations [Any edition] Levy LindNotes: Please use this edition for the plays it includes; other translations will cause confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Aeneid (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Virgil, David WestNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; they tend to cause confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Consolation of Philosophy [Edition required: 2] Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, tr. Victor Watts |
Required: |
The Holy Bible: New International Translation [Any edition] Various, NIV Commission (tr.)Notes: You need some translation of the Bible for this course, preferably a reasonably modern one; it need not be this edition or even this translation. I value the New International Version for its literal accuracy, though its language tends to be rather stiff and sometime slanted; the King James Version, while beautiful and a work of genius in its day, is laden with numerous pitfalls for the modern reader. The Revised Standard Version is reasonably sound, if you can get it; the New Revised Standard Version is riddled with politically motivated compromises of every sort. Other options would be the Jerusalem Bible or the New English Bible. |
Required: |
The Iliad (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Homer, Robert FaglesNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; doing so makes referring to pages impossible, and creates unnecessary storms of opinion relating to translated forms. You may get any other edition of the Fagles translation required, though. |
Required: |
The Nibelungenlied: Prose Translation [Any edition] Anonymous, A. T. Hatto (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations of this work; they tend to create confusions in class. |
Required: |
The Odyssey (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Homer, D. C. H. Rieu, Peter V. Jones, E. V. RieuNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; they are likely to create confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Portable Dante [Any edition] Dante Alighieri, Mark Musa (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations of this: it tends to create confusion in class. In addition, many other translations of Dante's Divine Comedy are very stilted and awkward, creating tonal and dictional problems of their own. |
Required: |
The Saga of the Volsungs (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Anonymous, Jesse L. ByockNotes: Please do not resort to other translations if possible: it tends to create confusion in class. (The translation by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson is very archaic in diction and hence quite difficult for many students to read.) |
Required: |
The Song of Roland (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Anonymous, Glyn S. Burgess (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations if possible; they tend to cause confusions in class. |
Required: |
Western Literature to Dante: A Parents' Guide [Edition required: 3] Bruce A. McMenomyNotes: This is a handbook I have prepared for parents who have enrolled for the course, or who are considering it. It gives a complete rundown of course elements, pedagogical goals, study techniques, and background material on each unit to help parents evaluate the course's suitability or to guide their children through it. |
Optional: |
Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes [Any edition] Edith HamiltonNotes: Not required, but encouraged for those who have no background in mythology: have this read over the summer. |
Optional: |
The Story of King Arthur and His Knights (Dover Storybooks for Children) [Any edition] Howard PyleNotes: Not required, but students who have no background in the Arthurian tales may benefit from reading this through before the second half of the course. |
|
English Literature (1532) • [2021] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
England in Literature (Macbeth Edition) [Any edition] Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys VeidemanisNotes:
If you cannot secure the Macbeth edition, the Hamlet edition is acceptable as well - merely make sure that you also have the optional Folger version of Macbeth listed below. That accounts for the only differences between the two volumes. This book is now out of print, as Scott, Foresman has been assimilated by Prentice-Hall. Used copies are available. |
Required: |
Much Ado About Nothing (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: Please use this edition only. Unannotated editions of Shakespeare usually spell disaster for student comprehension, while using different texts (which often vary substantively) will merely create confusion in class. |
Required: |
Richard III (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: Please use this edition. Other editions are not acceptable for various reasons: chief among them the fact that unannotated texts tend to be impenetrable for the younger student. |
Optional: |
A Tale of Two Cities (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Charles DickensNotes: This or Great Expectations is required for the class. You do not need to acquire both, though you may. Any unabridged version of the novel will suffice. |
Optional: |
England in Literature (Hamlet Edition) [Any edition] Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys VeidemanisNotes: NOTE: This is presented as an alternative if you cannot find the Macbeth edition. It is not otherwise needed. If you get this volume rather than the Macbeth edition, please ALSO secure the Folger Library Macbeth given as optional below. |
Optional: |
Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Mary ShelleyNotes: You may use any complete text of this book you have available. You should get either this or Pride and Prejudice, though you may read both. |
Optional: |
Great Expectations (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Charles DickensNotes: This or A Tale of Two Cities is required for the class. You need not get both, though of course you may. Any unabridged edition is sufficient. |
Optional: |
Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: NOTE: Not normally required. This is offered as an alternative for those who buy the Hamlet Edition of the textbook. If you have the Macbeth Edition, it is not necessary. |
Optional: |
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Jane AustenNotes: This or Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is required for the class; you need not get both (though you are free to do so). |

Caesar: Selections from his Commentarii De Bello Gallico [Any edition] Hans-Friedrich Mueller, G. Julius CaesarNotes: Prices on this have fluctuated severely over the last few years.

The Landmark Julius Caesar: The Complete Works: Gallic War, Civil War, Alexandrian War, African War, and Spanish War [Edition required: 1] C. Julius Caesar, Kurt A. Raaflalaub (ed.), Robert B. Strassler (series editor)Notes: This is a magnificent book and a bargain for what it contains. If it's prohibitive, please let me know. I would permit another translation of Caesar's text, but this edition supplies a great deal of supporting information that will make the shape of Caesar's campaigns vastly more accessible. In either case I will be assigning readings from the accompanying web document (which is available freely to all) — which contains about 325 pages of material that wouldn't fit into the book itself. |

Latin V (Latin Literature) (1428) • [2020] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar [Any edition] J. B. Greenough, G. L. Kittredge, A. A. Howard, Benj. L. D'Ooge, Anne MahoneyNotes: The hardbound copy may be substituted; if money is an issue, one can dispense with this and rely on the online version, which is accessible through the Moodle website. Access to the text in some form, however, is essential for the various grammatical issues that arise. |
Required: |
Horace: Selected Odes and Satire [Any edition] Q. Horatius Flaccus, Ronnie Ancona |
Required: |
The Catullan Revolution [Edition required: 1] Kenneth QuinnNotes: The older edition will suffice if one can find it used. |
Required: |
Writing Passion: A Catullus Reader [Any edition] C. Valerius Catullus, Ronnie Ancona |
Optional: |
Latin Dictionary Founded on Andrew's Edition of Freund's Latin Dictionary [Any edition] Charlton T. Lewis, Charles Short, William FreundNotes: This is one of the larger (and more expensive) dictionaries available for serious Latinists. Unlike the larger and more recent Oxford Latin Dictionary, its range extends up to about 600 A. D., and so is more useful for those interested in Mediaeval Latin. Definitely not required, though some suitable dictionary is required. This is old enough that it is also available in many forms in addition to the cumbersome volume from Oxford: the Logeion site online offers its material for free and in very good format. |
Optional: |
Oxford Latin Dictionary [Any edition] P. G. W. GlareNotes: Emphatically not required, this is probably the most comprehensive Classical Latin dictionary avaiable in English today; it is also the most expensive. Its coverage does not extend much beyond A.D. 200, however, and so it is probably not as useful as Lewis and Short for those who want to pursue later Latin. |

Required: |
A Greek Reader for Schools [Any edition] C. E. Freeman, W. D. LoweNotes: This is a reprint of a much older book, but still a solid selection of readings which are both entertaining and conducive to the development of fluency. Most of the passages have been edited somewhat from their original forms (Herodotus' Ionic dialect has been systematically Atticized throughout), but the work is solid and tractable. |
Required: |
Plato: Apology [Any edition] Plato, James J. Helm (Editor) |
Required: |
Syntactical Mechanics [Any edition] Bruce A. McMenomy |
Optional: |
All the Greek Verbs [Any edition] N. MarinoneNotes: Not required, but this volume is worth its weight in frustration: it locates verbs according to their (often wildly divergent) principal parts. |
Optional: |
An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon, Founded upon the 7th ed. of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon [Any edition] H. G. Liddell, Robert ScottNotes: This is enough of a Greek lexicon to carry the student through an undergraduate career in classics and well into graduate school. It is not required for this course, but it will always be helpful and will not quickly become obsolete. It is worth noting that there are iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch versions of the full Liddell and Scott (which retails for about $200 if you can find it on sale) for two or three dollars. If you have the necessary hardware, this is a very congenial solution to the lexicon problem. |
Optional: |
Greek Grammar [Any edition] Herbert Weir Smyth, Gordon M. MessingNotes: Not absolutely required, but very strongly recommended. If you have funds to buy only one non-required volume for Greek, this should be it. Revised edition. |

|
Western Literature to Dante (1430) • [2020] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature [Any edition] Erich Auerbach, Willard R. Trask (tr.) |
Required: |
Ten Greek Plays in Contemporary Translations [Any edition] Levy LindNotes: Please use this edition for the plays it includes; other translations will cause confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Aeneid (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Virgil, David WestNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; they tend to cause confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Consolation of Philosophy [Edition required: 2] Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, tr. Victor Watts |
Required: |
The Holy Bible: New International Translation [Any edition] Various, NIV Commission (tr.)Notes: You need some translation of the Bible for this course, preferably a reasonably modern one; it need not be this edition or even this translation. I value the New International Version for its literal accuracy, though its language tends to be rather stiff and sometime slanted; the King James Version, while beautiful and a work of genius in its day, is laden with numerous pitfalls for the modern reader. The Revised Standard Version is reasonably sound, if you can get it; the New Revised Standard Version is riddled with politically motivated compromises of every sort. Other options would be the Jerusalem Bible or the New English Bible. |
Required: |
The Iliad (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Homer, Robert FaglesNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; doing so makes referring to pages impossible, and creates unnecessary storms of opinion relating to translated forms. You may get any other edition of the Fagles translation required, though. |
Required: |
The Nibelungenlied: Prose Translation [Any edition] Anonymous, A. T. Hatto (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations of this work; they tend to create confusions in class. |
Required: |
The Odyssey (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Homer, D. C. H. Rieu, Peter V. Jones, E. V. RieuNotes: Please do not resort to other translations; they are likely to create confusion in class. |
Required: |
The Portable Dante [Any edition] Dante Alighieri, Mark Musa (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations of this: it tends to create confusion in class. In addition, many other translations of Dante's Divine Comedy are very stilted and awkward, creating tonal and dictional problems of their own. |
Required: |
The Saga of the Volsungs (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Anonymous, Jesse L. ByockNotes: Please do not resort to other translations if possible: it tends to create confusion in class. (The translation by William Morris and Eirikr Magnusson is very archaic in diction and hence quite difficult for many students to read.) |
Required: |
The Song of Roland (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Anonymous, Glyn S. Burgess (tr.)Notes: Please do not resort to other translations if possible; they tend to cause confusions in class. |
Required: |
Western Literature to Dante: A Parents' Guide [Edition required: 3] Bruce A. McMenomyNotes: This is a handbook I have prepared for parents who have enrolled for the course, or who are considering it. It gives a complete rundown of course elements, pedagogical goals, study techniques, and background material on each unit to help parents evaluate the course's suitability or to guide their children through it. |
Optional: |
Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes [Any edition] Edith HamiltonNotes: Not required, but encouraged for those who have no background in mythology: have this read over the summer. |
Optional: |
The Story of King Arthur and His Knights (Dover Storybooks for Children) [Any edition] Howard PyleNotes: Not required, but students who have no background in the Arthurian tales may benefit from reading this through before the second half of the course. |
|
English Literature (1432) • [2020] Bruce McMenomy |
---|
Required: |
England in Literature (Macbeth Edition) [Any edition] Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys VeidemanisNotes:
If you cannot secure the Macbeth edition, the Hamlet edition is acceptable as well - merely make sure that you also have the optional Folger version of Macbeth listed below. That accounts for the only differences between the two volumes. This book is now out of print, as Scott, Foresman has been assimilated by Prentice-Hall. Used copies are available. |
Required: |
Much Ado About Nothing (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: Please use this edition only. Unannotated editions of Shakespeare usually spell disaster for student comprehension, while using different texts (which often vary substantively) will merely create confusion in class. |
Required: |
Richard III (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: Please use this edition. Other editions are not acceptable for various reasons: chief among them the fact that unannotated texts tend to be impenetrable for the younger student. |
Optional: |
A Tale of Two Cities (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Charles DickensNotes: This or Great Expectations is required for the class. You do not need to acquire both, though you may. Any unabridged version of the novel will suffice. |
Optional: |
England in Literature (Hamlet Edition) [Any edition] Helen McDonnell, John Pfordresher, Gladys VeidemanisNotes: NOTE: This is presented as an alternative if you cannot find the Macbeth edition. It is not otherwise needed. If you get this volume rather than the Macbeth edition, please ALSO secure the Folger Library Macbeth given as optional below. |
Optional: |
Frankenstein: Or the Modern Prometheus (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Mary ShelleyNotes: You may use any complete text of this book you have available. You should get either this or Pride and Prejudice, though you may read both. |
Optional: |
Great Expectations (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Charles DickensNotes: This or A Tale of Two Cities is required for the class. You need not get both, though of course you may. Any unabridged edition is sufficient. |
Optional: |
Macbeth (Folger Shakespeare Library) [Any edition] William ShakespeareNotes: NOTE: Not normally required. This is offered as an alternative for those who buy the Hamlet Edition of the textbook. If you have the Macbeth Edition, it is not necessary. |
Optional: |
Pride and Prejudice (Penguin Classics) [Any edition] Jane AustenNotes: This or Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is required for the class; you need not get both (though you are free to do so). |
