Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Roman Literature The greater part of the book is naturally taken up with the extant literary works and their authors; but I have devoted some space to the lives and works of authors whose writings are lost. This I have done, not because I believe that the reader should burden his memory with useless details, but partly in order that this book may be of use as a book of reference, and partly because the men tion of some of the lost works and their authors may im press upon the reader the fact that something is known of many writers whose works have survived, if at all, only in detached fragments. Not a few of these writers were im portant in their day, and exercised no little influence upon the progress of literature. Of the whole mass of Roman literary production only a small part - though fortunately in great measure the best part - now exists, and it is only by remembering how much has been lost that the modern reader can appreciate the continuity of Roman literature. The literature of the third, fourth, and fifth centuries after Christ is treated less fully than that of the earlier times, but its importance to later European civilization has been so great that a summary treatment of it should be included even in a book of such limited scope as this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Latin Literature The vast progress made in all departments of literary scholarship, and the minuteness with which knowledge is now subdivided, threaten to leave the general reader bewildered at the diversity and bulk of what is presented to him. The exact historian of literature concentrates his attention on so narrow a field that he cannot be expected to appeal to a wide class; those who study what he writes are, or must in some measure grow to be, his fellow-specialists. But the more precisely each little area is surveyed in detail, the more necessary does it become for us to return at frequent intervals to an inspection of the general scheme of which each topographical study is but a fragment magnified. It has seemed that of late the minute treatment of a multitude of intellectual phenomena has a little tended to obscure the general movement of literature in each race or country. In a crowd of handbooks, each of high authority in itself, the general trend of influence or thread of evolution may be lost.

Download or read book Roman Literature Classic Reprint written by Augustus S. Wilkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roman Literature But apart from this direct historical importance, the Latin literature is hardly less deserving of our study as the channel through which for many centuries the thought of Greece found its way to the Western world. Direct communication between the East and the West was rare and scanty during the time when the great modern nations were forming. The only access which these had to the fountain-heads of poetry and philosophy was through the Latin writers. If it had not been for the echoes which the latter sent on, the voices which first aroused the sense of the true and the beautiful would have been silenced for ages. It is true that when Greek literature came to be known directly to the Western world its influence was far more powerful than it had been when only known through Latin. But this must not make us forget how much the Latin literature had done for men like Dante and Chaucer, and we may even add Shakspere, to whom Greek was still unknown.

Download or read book A History of Roman Literature 2 vols written by M. von Albrecht and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 1864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael von Albrecht's A History of Roman Literature, originally published in German, can rightly be seen as the long awaited counterpart to Albin Lesky's Geschichte der Griechischen Literatur. In what will probably be the last survey made by a single scholar the whole of Latin literature from Livius Andronicus up to Boethius comes to the fore. 'Literature' is taken here in its broad, antique sense, and therefore also includes e.g. rhetoric, philosophy and history. Special attention has been given to the influence of Latin literature on subsequent centuries down to our own days. Extensive indices give access to this monument of learning. The introductions in Von Albrecht's texts, together with the large bibliographies make further study both more fruitful and easy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of Roman Literature: Passages Illustrative of Roman Thought and Style To readers of this class the Editors trust the present volume may prove a really valuable aid the bringing together of different and often conflicting views, will show the limits within which Roman opinion varied. The chronological arrangement was adopted in Part II. For obvious reasons, but abandoned in Part I., chiefly from the consideration that, there having been no regular unfolding or orderly development of thought in Rome (such as was the case, for example, in Greece), any attempt to tabulate, on a chrono logical basis, the opinions held on a given subject, would be delusive. The present arrangement, involving, as it does, two principles, labours under the disadvantage of being somewhat unsymmetrical, but it is hoped that the practical advantage thus gained will outweigh the aesthetic deficiency.

Download or read book The Roman Book written by Rex Winsbury and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was a Roman book? How did it differ from modern books? How were Roman books composed, published and distributed during the high period of Roman literature that encompassed, among others, Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Martial, Pliny and Tacitus? What was the ‘scribal art’ of the time? What was the role of bookshops and libraries? The publishing of Roman books has often been misrepresented by false analogies with contemporary publishing. This wide-ranging study re-examines, by appeal to what Roman authors themselves tell us, both the raw material and the aesthetic criteria of the Roman book, and shows how slavery was the ‘enabling infrastructure’ of literature. Roman publishing is placed firmly in the context of a society where the spoken still ranked above the written, helping to explain how some books and authors became politically dangerous and how the Roman book could be both an elite cultural icon and a contributor to Rome’s popular culture through the mass medium of the theatre.
