Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, The
by LearningToGo
Published in 1860, Burckhardt's work redefined our sense of the European past, wholly reinterpreting what has since been known simply as the Italian Renaissance. With unsurpassed erudition, Burckhardt illuminates a world of artistic and cultural ferment, innovation, and discovery; of revived humanism; of fierce tensions between church and empire; and of the birth of both the modern state and the modern individual. The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy remains the single most important and influential account of this crucial moment in the history of the West.

Comedy of Errors, The

Hilarious fun, this early comedy is filled with the merry violence of slapstick and farce.

Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court, A
by LearningToGo
This novel tells the story of Hank Morgan, the quintessential self-reliant New Englander, who brings to King Arthur's Age of Chivalry the "great and beneficent" miracles of nineteenth-century engineering and American ingenuity.

Critical and Historical Essays -- Volume 1
by LearningToGo
Macaulay is indeed the prince of essayists, and his reign is unchallenged - that on any subject which Macaulay has touched, his survey is unsurpassable for giving a first bird's-eye view, and for creating interest in the matter. . . And he certainly has no equal anywhere for covering his subject in the pointing-stick fashion.
