My name is Sheehan, and I’m The Cultural Tutor.

I believe culture is like a language — it can be learned, and anybody can learn it.

So that’s what the Areopagus is for.

Each volume includes seven short lessons:

1. Classical Music

2. Historical Figure

3. Art

4. Architecture

5. Rhetoric

6. Writing

7. The Seventh Plinth (a miscellaneous final part…)

Plus there’s the question of the week, where I ask my readers something interesting or pose a challenge, and include the responses in the following volume. The Areopagus is also where I share updates about anythng else I’ve been working on.

A free subscription gets you every new volume; a paid subscription gets you full access to the Areopagus archives (that’s 90+ volumes and over 400,000 words of material) plus other things I have written, be they essays or travelogues.
