Product Description
How to Think like Shakespeare: Lessons from a Renaissance Education
Challenging a host of today’s questionable notions about education, Scott Newstok shows how mental play emerges through work, creativity through imitation, autonomy through tradition, innovation through constraint, and also freedom through discipline. It was these practices, and a conversation with the past—not a fruitless obsession with assessment—that nurtured a mind like William Shakespeare’s. And while few of us can hope to approach the genius of the Bard, we can all learn from the exercises that shaped him.
Written in a friendly, conversational tone and brimming with insights, How to Think like Shakespeare enacts the thrill of thinking on every page, reviving timeless—and timely—ways to stretch your mind and hone your words.

The liberal arts are the universal linguistic and mathematical skills students need to excel in every area of life. The Great Books are the means by which we pass on the cultural heritage of the Christian West. A mastery of both is the best way to prepare a child for a life of wisdom and virtue. Memoria Press’ beautiful and also comprehensive classical Christian curriculum best provides the tools for mastering these two essential elements of education.
