In 'The Learned Lady in England, 1650-1760,' Myra Reynolds embarks on a meticulous exploration of the roles and representations of educated women in early modern England.

This work stands as a significant contribution to gender studies and cultural history, poised at the intersection of literature and social progression. Myra Reynolds, a pioneering scholar in women's studies, draws on her extensive background in English literature to craft this illuminating volume. Her scholarship is deeply influenced by her conviction in the importance of women's voices in historical narratives. As both an educator and researcher, Reynolds has dedicated her career to uncovering overlooked figures in English literature and their contributions, informed by a scholarly lineage that champions equity in literary critique. This book is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of women's education, gender dynamics, and literary expression in early modern England. Reynolds' thorough analysis and engaging prose make it an essential read, fostering a greater understanding of the complex interplay between gender and knowledge in an evolving society.

    Mythology was at the heart of ancient Roman culture, shaping the way people understood the world, their history, and even their daily lives. Roman myths were more than just entertaining stories; they provided a framework for religious practices, reinforced social hierarchies, and legitimized political authority. From grand temples dedicated to Jupiter to household shrines honoring protective spirits, mythology was deeply embedded in Roman society. These myths explained the origins of Rome, the will of the gods, and the moral expectations placed upon its people.  
      
    One of the most fascinating aspects of Roman mythology is its connection to Greek mythology. The Romans borrowed heavily from the Greeks, adapting their gods, myths, and religious traditions to fit their own culture. Jupiter became the Roman equivalent of Zeus, Venus took the place of Aphrodite, and Neptune mirrored Poseidon. Yet, Roman mythology was not simply a copy of Greek traditions—it evolved to reflect Rome’s unique values, including its emphasis on duty, discipline, and the power of the state. Roman gods were deeply tied to civic life, with religious festivals and rituals reinforcing the unity and strength of the empire.  
      
    As Rome expanded, so did its pantheon. Over time, new deities were integrated from conquered cultures, blending native Italian, Etruscan, and foreign influences into Roman religious beliefs. This constant evolution reflected the empire’s adaptability and its ability to absorb and reshape traditions to maintain social cohesion. The role of mythology also shifted, particularly as emperors began to position themselves as semi-divine figures, further intertwining politics with religion. These myths were not just ancient relics but living traditions that reinforced Rome’s identity and dominance.

    In the Socrates Meets series, Peter Kreeft revives the classic method of bringing philosophy to life through dialogue. In eight innovative volumes, he uncovers the principles, assumptions, and sometimes dangerous conclusions of some of history’s most influential minds.  Each dialogue imagines a purgatory where we can listen in on conversations between Socrates and the great thinkers who, centuries later, picked up the philosopher’s torch. Each conversation investigates one of the philosopher’s key works, a short, readable classic that raises central questions both for philosophy and for life. In this volume, Socrates cross-examines Karl Marx, the father of communism and author of The Communist Manifesto, exploring freedom and oppression, history and change, property, education, women, and the family.
