He looks back at the Colony's history, with the help of Robin Rausch, music specialist at the Library of Congress in Washington.

The Essay

Greek and Latin Voices

Series about the literature which underpins Western civilisation. Augustine is extraordinarily important to Western culture. Coming to maturity as the Roman Empire fell apart, he straddled two worlds. He wrote prolifically in beautiful Latin prose, launched the self-exploring psychology of western humanity and, at the same time, defined the concept of Original Sin.

1/4. Maria Wyke: The Education of a Latinist

Augustine's penetratingly modern ideas about the teaching of classics to children.
