Early life and education [ edit ]

She received her B.A. from Liberty University . She has been a member of the English faculty at William and Mary since 1993. She married Peter John Bauer, a pastor, in 1990. [1] [2]

Career [ edit ]

Although she had written and published two novels in the 1990s, Bauer drew much wider attention in 1999 with the publication of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home , published by W. W. Norton , which was well reviewed and quickly became one of the primary sources for homeschooling families who wished to focus on classical education , sometimes also referred to as the Trivium or the Great Books movement . Bauer followed up The Well-Trained Mind in 2003 with The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had , also published by Norton. Along with several volumes in the History of the World series, Bauer has also written children's books and The Art of the Public Grovel: Sexual Sin and Public Confession in America , published by Princeton University Press in 2008. [2]

Along with her best-selling books on education and history, Bauer is also a contributing editor for the journal Books & Culture . Her essays on literature and American religion have been cited by such diverse authors as Randall Balmer [3] and Jennifer Harris, [4] and have also appeared in a number of anthologies. [5]

Her works have been translated and published in Korea by Theory & Praxis and Goldenbough/Minums; in the Netherlands by Uitgeverij Mozaiek (Zoetermeer); in Spain by Paidos; in China by Peking University Press; in Indonesia by Elex Media Komputindo; in Russia by AST Publishing Group; in Serbian by Laguna and in Bulgaria by Prozorets.

Bauer has homeschooled her four children, and lives with her husband on a family farm in Charles City, Virginia . [6] She offers positive perspectives towards religion and homeschooling in some of her work, [7] and is considered to be a leader in the homeschooling movement. [1] [8]
