What and where and who is Europe? This unique collection contends
that Europe cannot be defined as simply a particular geographic
location or a group of citizens who inhabit the same place and
share a culture. Instead, Europe is a question to be answered by
the teachers and students who study it. A collaborative and
multidisciplinary collection, Engaging Europe explores Europe
through history, literature, philosophy, music, and ethical
narratives. A set of imaginative contributors investigates European
identity through a variety of cases, including Greece and Rome, the
Bible, the Enlightenment, and the Shoah. Scholars of literature,
history, and classics, as well as a composer, grapple with
students' doubts about Europe's future relevance. The complexity of
the topic leads to creativity in each chapter, from a musical
composition in words to poetry to a dialogue between Baudelaire and
Adam Smith. Engaging Europe is a major part of an experiment that
hopes to find more intellectually exciting ways to teach Europe to
students in American higher education. Contributions by: Evlyn
Gould, Joseph Krause, Robert Kyr, Massimo Lollini, Alexander B.
Murphy, John Nicols, Steven Shankman, George J. Sheridan Jr., and
Malcolm Wilson
