"How the West Was Won" contains articles in three main areas of the
humanities. It focuses on various aspects of literary imagination,
with essays ranging from Petrarch to Voltaire; on the canon, with
essays on western history as one of shifting cultural horizons and
ideals, and including censorship; and on the Christian Middle Ages,
when an interesting combination of religion and culture stimulated
the monastic and intellectual experiments of Anselm of Canterbury
and Peter Abelard. The volume is held together by the method of
persistent questioning, in the tradition of the western church
father and icon of the self Augustine, to discover what the values
are that drive the culture of the West: where do they come from and
what is their future? This volume is a Festschrift for Burcht
Pranger of the University of Amsterdam.
