The Classical Tradition: Greek and Roman Influences on Western Literature"An account of the chief ways in which the Greco-Roman tradition has shaped the literatures of modern Europe and America. Beginning with Old English poetry and French romance, and continuing to mid-twentieth century, the author shows how one country after another learned forms, imagery, myths, style and standards in the gradual but continuous rediscovery of Greco-Roman literary arts."
