In one convenient volume Albin Lesky has produced a History of Greek Literature which gives students the basics, academic researchers a first point of reference and those with a casual interest straight-forward yet detailed information on the literature of the Greeks. Albin Lesky describes knowledgeably the great works of Greek literature which have transcended their time – from the Homeric epic to the poetry and prose of the Imperial Age. As an extra support to academic research Lesky has supplied each chapter with a comprehensive bibliography thus providing an insight into areas of debate. This standard work of literary history has till today lost none of its significance or fascination.weiterlesen
