Classical Literature And Its Reception An Anthology

Many present-day readers of literature in English have little background knowledge of classical literature and therefore find it hard to appreciate the relationship between the two traditions. This anthology presents a selection of works from British, Irish, and Caribbean writers that illustrates the traffic between poetry in English and in Greek and Latin. It gives readers the background they need in order to really appreciate English-language poetry influenced by the classical tradition, and it provides those already familiar with classical works with reflections of Greek and Latin authors in English.DeMaria, Robert is the author of 'Classical Literature And Its Reception An Anthology', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405112932 and ISBN 140511293X.
