Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Classical Greek Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: Part I, the Prose Writers, From Herodotus to Plato
My new publishers have agreed with me that it is desirable to produce this volume in two parts which can be procured separately. Thus the student of a particular portion of Greek Prose Literature can obtain what he requires without serious cost, and without being burdened with the minuteness of monographs upon the several authors.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first volume of a study of the prose writers of Greece from Herodotus to Plato. It analyses the rise of history and investigates the effects of the contemporary philosophical and, especially, religious movements on the development of Greek prose literature. The author, being fully appreciative of the rise of prose literature from more lyrical-poetic and archaic origins, considers the changes in societal structure and thought which led to this development, and the characteristics that mark the period of transition from poetry to prose writing. The author argues that, even though some of the pre-Socratic philosophers used verse to communicate their ideas, it was the rise of a more critical and inquiring spirit and the need for more systematic analysis in the sixth century that saw a shift to prose writing. This book enriches our understanding of the formative period of Greek literature, an era which was also critical to the development of Western historiography and philosophical thought. The authorās analysis of the literary and intellectual contexts of the period provides a fresh perspective for literary scholars and historians alike, and will appeal to anyone interested in the development and evolution of written language and literary technique. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333126728_0
