The Development of Western Civilization Series [14 volumes; complete set] Edward W. Fox, series editor. Cornell University Press, 1951-1970. Softcover, no jackets. Condition of all volumes: VG or better. Small octavo (5.5 in. x 8.25 in.) *** This series was created for the course in western civilization at Cornell University and is authored by eminent specialists in their field. The series was to "be brief, well written, based on unquestioned scholarship, assume almost no previous historical knowledge on the part of the reader, provide a coherent analysis, [and] constitute a systematic introduction to the collective memory of that tradition." Each volume includes a chronological summary for its period, suggestions for further reading, and index. Reading this collection replicates a university-level curriculum in western civilization.

Store description
Champlain Valley Books seeks to acquire the private libraries of academic professionals, in particular college professors of the Humanities. Our experience is that academics collect the notable and important books in their areas of specialty, and that they take good care of them. When we acquire such a library, we seek to pass along its books to discriminating readers and collectors who appreciate these works of scholarly and literary merit. We provide detailed descriptions of our books, often with photos attached, so that buyers have confidence in the quality of the works that they are considering.…
