| Abstract | This paper offers suggestions to those wanting to encourage interest in the teaching of the Classics, based on the modern application of the teaching expectations of the Renaissance. Its focus is on what one historian calls the ‘modern educational structure of the Renaissance’, in a point reminding us that while both Greek and Latin were spoken languages of two ancient civilizations, as taught languages they are products of Renaissance developments in philology, classical learning and textual analysis. Thus teaching the Classics inevitably returns attention to the history of how they were taught when the classical infrastructure which long prevailed in western civilization first prompted the revival of classical languages rather than the continuation of Medieval Latin. |
