Plain Mr. Knox is the first comprehensive biography of John A. Knox, one of the most influential educators of the early 20th century. As the longtime president of St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland, Knox championed a revolutionary approach to liberal arts education that emphasized the Great Books and relied on seminar-style discussions rather than lectures.
