First published in 1909, in an era of receding interest in Classical authors, this volume aimed to encourage a renewed interest in the Classics through shared emotion, humanity and the everyday.

These translations were designed to be popular and readable, with nothing obscure for the light reader, in order to encourage rediscovery of literature's Classical roots.
