Our Children Are Not Slaves of the State0

- April 24, 2020
Last week brought two special delights. Though I had read and even taught Francis Gray Patton’s novel Good Morning, Miss Dove, I had never seen the movie.

Though he was what Dostoevsky would have described as “a dedicated sensualist,” Wilde possessed a true creative genius perhaps unmatched among his literary contemporaries. His essay “The Soul of Man under Socialism” is not, in my opinion, his best work. Written in 1891, it’s largely a

- June 10, 2019
June 8, 2019, marks the 70th anniversary of George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. There will be no shortage of think pieces that will misinterpret its legacy.
