About this Item

Inscribed by David M. Robinson on front end page to Professor Dunlap and wife (possibly Knight Dunlap). From the library of noted scholar Richard A. Macksey. Bound in publisher's cloth. Top edge gilt. Hardcover. Shelf wear. Front gutter starting. *Autographed by author.* David Robinson was preeminent as a teacher, a lecturer, a writer, and a field archaeologist. He knew and gave instruction in all phases of classical archaeology: topography, architecture, sculpture, vases, epigraphy, numismatics, etc., but, as lecturer in Greek literature, he also gave courses in Aeschylus, Apollonius of Rhodes, and Plato. "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
