Description
Latin Literature is a comprehensive book written by J. W. Mackail that explores the rich and diverse world of Latin literature. The book is an in-depth analysis of the literary works produced by various Latin writers from the earliest times to the present day. It covers a range of genres, including epic, lyric, drama, satire, and philosophy, and provides a detailed examination of the major works of authors such as Virgil, Horace, Ovid, and Cicero.The book is divided into chapters that focus on different periods of Latin literature, from the early Republic to the late Empire. Each chapter provides a historical and cultural context for the literature of the time, and the author discusses the major themes and stylistic features of the works produced during that period. The book also includes a comprehensive bibliography and index, making it an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Latin literature.Overall, Latin Literature is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of Latin literature and the impact it has had on Western culture. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both beginners and advanced readers.The poetic forms, on the other hand, used by Virgil were so much more on the main line of tendency that he stands among a large number of others, some of whom might have had a high reputation but for his overwhelming superiority. Of the other essays made in this period in bucolic poetry we know too little to speak with any confidence. But both didactic poetry and the little epic were largely cultivated, and the greater epic itself was not without followers. The extant poems of the Culex and Ciris have already been noted as showing with what skill and grace unknown poets, almost if not absolutely contemporary with Virgil, could use the slighter epic forms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
