In 1947, British scholar, playwright, and novelist Dorothy Sayers stood in an Oxford hall and delivered a speech that would become a catalyst of the current classical education movement.

The Lost Tools of Learning is a flagship address presenting the tools that were given to students in the Middle Ages via the trivium, the study of grammar, logic, and rhetoric. For perhaps the first time, these trivium subjects were applied by Sayers to students' developmental stages. She also advocates the integration of subjects, and explains that training students to learn on their own is the chief goal of education.

This essay, which has influenced subsequent classical educators, is now available as an audio recording with the feel of being in the hall hearing Ms. Sayers herself. Read by native Briton Victoria Twigg, and introduced by Dr. Christopher Perrin.

I loved the effect of the opening and closing being (I assume) actual, original recordings of Dorothy Sayers’ speech, the introduction and applause. The accent is perfect. The recording quality was a tad warbled at times, but not distractingly so. The words themselves flow out with as harmonious a combination of strength and eloquence as that with which they were written. This will become a regular listen for me, at least annually, and whenever I need to reorient my mind to the task of homeschooling my 5 children. Thank you for producing this.

Fabulous

Dorothy Sayers created a message that comes through with clarity, detail, and absolute logic. This is an excellent guideline by which to use in educating children through our their entire life.

Deeply enlightening

A wonderfully worded speech by playwright Dorothy Sayers She was brave to reveal the lost education structure that once defined free-thinking education system seen in early American education system. She speaks out against the Prussian model, meant to turn out obedient, uncritical stock of soldiers for a militaristic and imperialistic culture. She Dives into the core Trivium method and makes mention of the natural expansions into the Quadrivium. If you're not informed about this core issue in educating critically thinking individuals, then this is a great start down such a path.

Brief Speech Concerned with Education's devolution

Dorothy Sayers, herself apparently not an educator, gets education in a way that popular education talking heads and thinkers don't. And maybe they're popular for exactly that reason...they have to come up with trendy, flashy, and NEW ideas and ways to solve the problem of educating children. But the classical method is sound, and if not perfect, certainly adequate to produce sensible, thoughtful, capable citizens and thinkers.
This is such a short essay that it should be required reading by all teachers.

Classic and formative

This is a short discourse on why the main objective of all education is self-education, or independent learning. With the accelerated growth of knowledge since the date it was first delivered, its message about lifelong learning is perhaps more relevant now than ever.

Not crazy about the hokey "re-enactment" presentation.

Not new, but still very interesting.

So much wonderful, thought provoking information in such a small package. This speech is packed with meaningful words.

Enlightening!!

Dorothy Sayers critique of education is even more pertinent for today than when it was first delivered in 1947. Our young people today are sent out into a world "unarmed, in a day when armor was never more so necessary. By teaching them to read, we have left them at the mercy of the printed word...They do not know what words mean; they do not know how to ward them off or blunt their edge or fling them back; they are prey to words in their emotions instead of being the masters of them in their intellects." We would do well to heed her warnings and implement her advice.

Pertinent for today
