“Reading The Subversive Art of a Classical Education, the first words that sprang to mind were Pope's: 'What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed.' This is a book that should be read by every classical educator in the land, and every parent serious about their child's education. It explains what the classical education movement is trying to accomplish, its philosophy in the original sense of that word, and illustrates by its eloquence, poise, and moral gravitas the forma mentis of the classically educated gentleman. A pleasure to read.”—James Hankins, Professor of History, Harvard University

“Michael S. Rose is a revolutionary on a mission to liberate this generation from the cultural amnesia foisted on them by the educational status quo. By unleashing his classical vision, he demonstrates what it means to educate: to lead students to what they ought to know and ought to love. The Subversive Art of a Classical Education strikes one mighty blow after another for cultural anamnesis and signals a path to genuine educational renewal. Read it. Join his revolution. Subvert the fleeting with the permanent.”—Andrew J. Zwerneman, President, Cana Academy, History250 Writer and Narrator

“The most complete resource for classical education done well that I have ever seen! How Michael Rose managed to cover all the benefits of the form and content of this education in a single resource boggles my mind. He looks beyond the intellectual benefits—though that’s explained—to the virtuous formation of the human who is a student in this tradition in these ways. With many more resources listed in every chapter, this book is a college-level course for teachers, parents, and school founders for how to promote this movement beautifully. Whatever revolution Michael Rose is leading, I’m in!”—Jessica Hooten Wilson, Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University, and author of The Scandal of Holiness and Reading for the Love of God
