Purely Academic: or, Professor Schneider鈥檚 Revenge

Stringfellow Barr

Role: Author

Written by a founder of the Great Books Program in Annapolis.

“Bitterly hilarious…sadistically satirical…funny and appalling” (Edmund Fuller, New York Times). Originally published in 1958, this is renowned U.S. historian and author Stringfellow Barr’s first and only novel. A mild-mannered history professor confounds his detractors in this satire on the academic world.
