Wise Bauer’s most recent project is an ongoing narrative world history series for W. W.

She is also the author of The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had (Norton, 2003), a guide to reading the classic works of fiction, poetry, history, autobiography, and drama; and the co-author, with her mother Jessie Wise, of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home.

The author was a Presidential Scholar and National Merit finalist, and finished her B.A. in five semesters with a major in English, a minor in Greek and a summer spent studying twentieth century theology as a Visiting Student at Oxford. She went on to earn a Master of Divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, an M.A. in English language and literature at the College of William and Mary in Virginia, and her Ph.D. in American Studies, with a major field in the history of American religion. She has taught composition and literature at the College of William and Mary for over fifteen years.  Wise Bauer has four children, now ranging in age from 13 to 22. The older two are university students, and the younger two are still being educated at home.
