Sinopsis

After a life-time?s teaching Classics to the Upper-Sixth, at a very minor Boy?s Public School in Oxfordshire, the last of the ?DWEMs?, as he likes to describe himself, believes that he is fighting a rear-guard action, defending and guarding a diminishing mythopoetic world view on which his own personal values, and those of Western Civilisation are built. And which are being cruelly tested, to breaking-point when he is called to ?support? one of his own ?favourite? ex-students who has been arrested for ?Terrorist Activities?. It is this, above all else which becomes the Circumstances of Departure, his own and of others, in one way or another.(DWEM was coined by Bernard Knox, to describe Classicists as a species: Dead White European Males.)
