Synopsis
Foreword This book was originally planned for the benefit of students in Alexandria who had received a French education and found it difficult to understand the different conventions which are often assumed byE nglish literature and criticism. In search of a common cultural ancestor I turned to A ristotle, and Aristotle could not be understood without reference toP lato. At a later period my work underwent considerable changes and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity of consulting Professor P. T. Stevens and Professor T. B. L. Webster, to whose advice I am very much indebted -though they should not, of course, be held responsible for any views expressed in these pages. In its present form the book still adheres closely to its original purpose -that of aC lassical background for students of Modern Subjects. For the purpose of interpreting Greek texts I have found it convenient to make my own translations, and at points where the search for concise English idiom has inevitably carried me some distance from the Greek, or where my proposed rendering might not in all quarters command automatic assent, I have added a more literal translation in brackets. This is a simple safeguard which has seemed necessary to me in only a few instances. J. G. W.
