Excerpt from More Literary Recreations
A measure of acceptance with which the little volume of Literary Recreation; was fortunate enough to meet has emboldened me to put out this further collection of jottings in a library. The pieces here collected, none of which has been printed before, were written, like those in the former volume, in occasional leisure from official duties, and make no claim other than may be founded on the hope that what has interested one Saunterer in a library may meet with sympathetic readers outside.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book comprises a collection of essays centered around literary recreation. The author's goal was to pen observations gathered during his duties as an editor. None of the essays have been published before, and were, like those in the author's previous volume, written in his spare time. They grapple with the relationship between literature and journalism, particularly in the context of Greek and Latin classics. The author advocates for the inclusion of more literary analysis in the teaching of the classics, believing it would encourage greater student and public interest in them. The work also touches on the perception that English literature might be enhanced by exposure to and understanding of classical literature, leading to the notion that these subjects are better studied in tandem than separately.
