Product Details
Overview
With The Trivium Companion you will develop mastery in reading, writing, speaking, and reasoning. It is the indispensable guide to Sister Miriam Joseph’s The Trivium.
“Trivium” here means the crossroads where the three branches of language—logic, grammar, and rhetoric—meet. Sister Miriam Joseph wrote The Trivium in the 1940s to help students study and master an integrated view of language. Her book has since become a staple of classical education.
The Trivium Companion by Peter Kalkavage takes readers through the eleven chapters of Sister Miriam Joseph’s book, clarifying and developing her ideas and providing exercises, problems, and questions for further practice. It is intended for use by teachers and students as well as the general reader looking to gain a deeper understanding of language and improve writing skills.
The Trivium Companion includes sections on:
* The nature and function of language
* General grammar
* Logic and reasoning: propositions, syllogisms, and fallacies
* Induction and scientific method
* Rhetoric and communication: poetics, figurative language, metrical discourse
* The reading and analysis of lyric poetry
* Plus, it's enlivened by examples: from Shakespeare, Milton, Plato, the Bible, Homer, and more
