The Closed American Mind and What to Do About It
Glynn Custred describes Greg Lukianoff’s and Rikki Schlott’s The Canceling of the American Mind as a valuable source for understanding the origins of cancel culture and simply irreplaceable in terms of laying out the ways in which it could be countered
The Forge of War
Glynn Custred tackles the latest iteration of George Orwell’s life and career, The Socialist Patriot: George Orwell and War by Peter Stansky. Stansky focuses on Orwell’s involvement in the Spanish Civil War and his shifting approaches to the Nazi menace
The Place of the Novel in the Liberal Arts Curriculum
A discussion of the place of the novel in liberal arts education, a question sparked by the recent publication of Joseph Epstein’s The Novel, Who Needs It? Novels are important, says Epstein, because they provide knowledge that can’t always be enumerated or subjected to strict testing as with other kinds of study. But the genre is suffering today because “large segments of the culture are no longer open to honest discussion.”

From Bologna to Zoom
Created in Europe and spread throughout the world with the West’s rise, the university evolved from a guild-like medieval institution bounded by Christian doctrine to a flourishing, free-market place of ideas by the latter half of the twentieth century. Unfortunately, Glynn Custred informs us, the universities’ more recent transformation into institutions of “political indoctrination” represents a return to the doctrine-bound era of its infancy
Kipling, Orwell, and the Humanities
The comparison of English writers Rudyard Kipling and George Orwell, both born in India during the heyday of the British empire, provide a lesson in how the humanities can enrich and guide our lives. It is a lesson, too, in what is lost when brilliant works of the past are jettisoned for failing rigid ideological litmus tests
