TOS Weekly - "Epic Theater," a Forgotten Hero of Reason and Liberty, and More
Plus the meaning of secular spirituality, celebrating the atlases of abolition on Juneteenth, and the contribution of the Federalist Essays to the U.S. Constitution.
Welcome to TOS Weekly!
After the publication of the Summer 2026 issue of TOS, the team is once again hard at work on new articles. Among those published with the Summer issue was Anna Shnaidman’s critical analysis of the oft-celebrated “epic theatre” play Mother Courage and Her Children. Alongside that, this week we mark the birthday of the little-known and vastly under-appreciated hero of liberty and reason Auberon Herbert, the similarly overlooked atlases of abolition, and the anniversary of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution.
I hope you enjoy this week’s articles,
