Flannery O’Connor's WISE BLOOD is a text full of rich symbolism, a metaphoric landscape which is best understood using an integration of literary and depth psychological hermeneutics. Applying an anagogical framework to the novel, an interpretive approach meant to reveal spiritual meaning, makes it possible to see through the world of O'Connor's Taulkinham, the fictional setting for the novel, to that of the biblical.

THE BIOGRAPHER'S QUEST, based on fifty years of experience, explains how life-writers do archival research, find new sources, and experience the thrill of constant discoveries; it also discusses how to conduct interviews by establishing confidence, asking the right questions, and persuading people to reveal what they know. Meyers describes how to create a chronology, interpret often conflicting written and spoken evidence, organize material into a meaningful pattern, and show how the author's life illuminates his work.

John Dickinson's LETTERS FROM A FARMER IN PENNSYLVANIA (1767-1768) is one of the most consequential documents in American history. Written in response to Great Britain's unjust taxation policy, these twelve letters were first published serially in the newspapers and then in pamphlet form in multiple editions in several countries. With clear and compelling language directed to ordinary readers, the letters educated the colonists about their rights, galvanized them to resist Britain using only peaceful means, and implanted in them a sense of national unity and a distinct American identity.

Aristotle's ALLEGATIONS provides a new, literal translation of the text traditionally called Aristotle's CATEGORIES, which was once the introductory text not only to Aristotle's corpus but also to philosophy as such. Most ambitiously, this book wishes to encourage readers to learn from Aristotle on the grounds that his teaching in the ALLEGATIONS might be true and to defend its worthiness as an introduction to philosophy proper.

In his 1771 letter to Robert Skipwith, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "a lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear than by all the dry volumes of ethics and divinity that ever were written." It is in this spirit that the Thomas C. and Romona E. McDonald Center at Mercer University collected these twelve essays based on papers presented at the 2024 A.V. Elliott Conference on Great Books and Ideas, the theme of which was Shakespeare's Politics.
