/lit/ - Literature

I’ve lined up these three titles to try to get an understanding of the development of the West from pre-history to the present. I’m not really history focused in terms of events and what happened as I’m educated here and the focus is development of thought in the categories of science, culture, and philosophy.

I’ve already finished “The Ancient City” good book btw, I recommend if you want to understand Graeco-Roman society and the development of pagan cultures into Christendom, but I was wondering what books I could add to this this line up, and if the current line up will cover the 3 topics I outlined sufficiently.

Also feel free to leave your thoughts on any of these specific titles if you’ve read them.

Perhaps something that examines more the shift from pagan Rome to Christian Rome and the early Church, as this seems to be an area of importance not well covered in any of these books.
