About “A Year With”: a weekly podcast where we will learn more about great ideas from our common history – good ideas and bad ideas – by reading together for an entire year. For 2022, we will explore the Harvard Classics, also known as Dr. Eliot’s Five Foot Shelf of Books, a world literature anthology published from 1909 to about 1970.
