Do the classics have a future?

Do the classics have a future?

The New York Review Of Books has an article (rather well-argued, I felt?) on this topic. I was pleased to see Rattigan (a worthwhile author, who is unfairly dismissed as "old hat" these days) given a fair treatment in the piece.

Is this the article? http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2012/jan/12/do-classics-have-future/?pagination=false

Learning of classics are in decline now, but there will be specialists who know. Our time has the same problems and it is dialogue with ancients definitely.
