Description

The Odyssey of the West series, a grand exploration of art, literature, revolutionary theories, and intellectual progress through the ages, concludes with a fascinating look at the twentieth century. Series editor and esteemed university professor Timothy B. Shutt is joined by contributing lecturers Katherine L. Elkins (Kenyon College) and Joel F. Richeimer (Kenyon College) for a lively discussion of the major works and strains of thought that ushered in the modern age. A fitting capstone for this comprehensive series, this sixth and final installment imparts a learned understanding of the forces that shaped—and continue to shape—Western culture.
