I guess I was wondering about a resource that is more factual that helps weave all these points in history together? Or even that helps flush out these events? I get that you are coming at it from a literary perspective, the “Great Books” perspective. I am contemplating doing a self-study in the manner you have put forth, and would like to flush out the events a bit.
I do have some resources already, as I am a home educator, and approach that in a classical manner. You seem smarter than me, so I thought I would pick your brain. 🤷🏼♀️
About the seeming smarter...smoke and mirrors. Lol
Susan Weiss Bauer has a series called The Story of the World (4 volumes I think) which kind of weaves a narrative of world history and events. That might be the sort of thing you’re looking for. It’s written for upper grammar school age students so it’s not a tough read but a useful resource.
I may be able to do a PDF edition. I make pdf study guides available for paid subscribers. Free subscribers still get a lot of things just not usually in as nice of a format. I gotta work some sort of angle you know! 🤣
Glad to hear it!
I love how the individual books of the Bible are woven through this. VERY helpful!
Classical education is all about integration of information. 😁
Thank you for putting this together, this is very helpful and timely (pun intended) for me as I embark on a journey through the Great Books!
Ooohhh! One more question...any suggestions for a textbook-like spine to pull all the listed resources together?
Could you clarify for me a bit? I’m not sure quite what you’re looking for.

I, too, appreciate this list! Thank you! Somehow printable? (asks someone who only accesses Substack on the app!)

Understood & very fair.
