In the seventh episode of High Noon, Inez Stepman speaks with Spencer Klavan. Klavan is the associate editor of the
Claremont Review of Books and the Claremont Institute’s online publication,
The American Mind. He’s also the author of an academic publication, Music in Ancient Greece, as well as a translation of the Book of Isaiah. Klavan hosts a popular podcast, Young Heretics, where he explores, through the lens of the Western canon, “truth, beauty, and the stuff that matters.”
Stepman and Klavan discuss why the Western classics have fallen out of favor in the academy, America’s relationship to Western civilization at large, and what the canon has to teach us about our modern crises.

The reading and study of the classics used to be an important part of our educational system. There s plenty of material. English-language writers have written many famous books, and many works of literature from other languages have been translated into English.
Nowadays though, much of the market share of the classics has been taken over by the Young Adult Fiction genre, targeted to adolescents.
As Wikipedia describes it, The subject matter and genres of YA correlate with the age and experience of the protagonist. The genres available in YA are expansive and include most of those found in adult fiction. Common themes related to YA include friendship, first love, relationships, and identity. Stories that focus on the specific challenges of youth are sometimes referred to as problem novels or coming-of-age novels.
