Sources for the History of Western Civilization, Volume I: From Antiquity to the Mid-Eighteenth Century, Second Edition - Softcover
Synopsis
Sources for the History of Western Civilization is a primary source reader designed specifically to allow undergraduate students to interact with historical documents without unnecessary editorial intervention.
Volume I begins in the second millennium BC with The Descent of Ishtar and ends with Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason. New to this edition are an example for students of how to read a primary source, selections from Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, additional material from Augustine's Confessions, additional letters from Sidonius Appolinaris and Desiderius Erasmus, and the Code Noir.

About the Author
Michael Burger is an historian of medieval Europe and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Auburn University at Montgomery. He is the author of Bishops, Clerks, and Diocesan Governance in Thirteenth-Century England: Reward and Punishment (2014) and The Shaping of Western Civilization (2013).
Review
When I teach critical readings such as Plato's Symposium, Perpetua's Martyrdom, or Machiavelli's The Prince, I want my students to do more than brush the surface. Professors and students who want the challenge of engaging deeply with some of the most influential writers in Western history will find this book indispensable. (Leah deVun, Rutgers University)
The new edition provides a convenient collection of complete texts often at the heart of Western Civilization surveys along with more unusual readings. (Erik Thomson, University of Manitoba)
