These Literature & History bundles for grades 9–12 focus on the period from 800–1650AD in North American and World History, and study Ancient History from 3500-550BC once a week as well (Alveary Rotation 1). Students grow in their relationship with the past through lessons filled with engaging narratives, primary source documents, atlases, maps, and History Chart and Book of Centuries work. In Literature lessons, students study broad literary movements and significant authors in the History of Lit course and read historical fiction such as Anna of Byzantium, mythology and period texts from Beowulf to Dante's Inferno to legends of the Popol Vuh, and an Iraqi folk tale. Students also read three plays (usually Shakespeare) per year — typically a tragedy, a comedy, and a history — with this bundle's selctions including Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, and Richard III. Poetry reading covers a wide variety of authors and poems includes Rumi's fables, Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queen, poems from the Tang & Sung dynasties, and early English Poetry alongside more formal lessons in reading and writing poetry. *These courses pair naturally with many subjects, including art, music, architecture, and geography which coordinate with the time period.

The multi-authored Charlotte Mason Centenary Monograph series is designed to highlight and explore the continuing educational and leadership relevance of Charlotte Mason (1842–1923) through the collective contributions of the Armitt Museum and Library, the University of Cumbria, the Charlotte Mason Institute, and other scholars and practitioners worldwide.
