Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: The Prose Writers, (With an Index to Both Volumes) Introduction - Early use of Writing - The Influences of Religion and Philosophy and the Dawn of History in the Sixth Century B.C. § 295. Introductory. - The history of Greek prose literature, as we possess it, begins almost at the close of the poetical development of the nation, at least at the close of it's original development, for though many poets flourished later than our earliest prose writers, no new species of poetry, except possibly the bucolic, dates its origin from this time, and the later poets were in few cases men of remarkable or enduring originality. Hence it is that, in a logical survey of Greek literature, we may allow ourselves to treat all the poetry before we approach the consideration of prose writing. This, indeed, is now the accepted order among the German writers on the subject. I have in the former volume stated my belief that the composition of any long or elaborate poem postulates the use of writing, and I therefore proposed this condition as giving us the earliest limit for the date of the Iliad as we have it; but many eminent critics have thought differently, and have argued that poetry can be composed and preserved without any such aid.

Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: The Prose Writers, (With an Index to Both Volumes) In fact, the wonder is, not that prose writing came so early, but so late in the history of Greek literature. But the national taste was so well satisfied by poetry that it required special influences, other than the mere familiarity with writing, to induce men to set down their thoughts in unmetrical form. To these we may now turn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Reference Guide for English Studies
Author: Michael J. Marcuse
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520051614
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 872
Book Description
This ambitious undertaking is designed to acquaint students, teachers, and researchers with reference sources in any branch of English studies, which Marcuse defines as "all those subjects and lines of critical and scholarly inquiry presently pursued by members of university departments of English language and literature.'' Within each of 24 major sections, Marcuse lists and annotates bibliographies, guides, reviews of research, encyclopedias, dictionaries, journals, and reference histories. The annotations and various indexes are models of clarity and usefulness, and cross references are liberally supplied where appropriate. Although cost-conscious librarians will probably consider the several other excellent literary bibliographies in print, such as James L. Harner's Literary Research Guide (Modern Language Assn. of America, 1989), larger academic libraries will want Marcuse's volume.-- Jack Bales, Mary Washington Coll. Lib., Fredericksburg, Va. -Library Journal.
