Kenney E.J. The Cambridge History of Classical Literature, Volume 2. Latin Literature

Cambridge University Press. — 980 p.The Cambridge History of Classical Literature is intended to make available to the -widest possible public the results of recent and current scholarship in this field. Its emphasis is critical: material relating to biography, chronology and bibliography is presented for the most part in the Appendix of Authors and Works at the end of the volume, leaving contributors free to concentrate on discussion of the literary texts themselves. The introductory section 'Readers and Critics' is also designed to provide a background to these individual critical examinations, by sketching a general picture of the main features of ancient literary culture, which remained in most essential ways unchanged during the period covered by this volume.Volume I
