A History of Latin Literature from its Beginnings to the Age of Augustus

Beschreibung

Readable new history of the explosion of Latin literature from relatively humble beginnings to global status. All the major writers are covered, as well as fragmentary but still key authors. Latin literature is set in its Roman context, but is also revealed as witty, charming, frightening, profound â and fun.
