Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Orace and His Age: A Study in Historical Background It too often happens that Classical texts are read with little consideration of the character of the age in which they were written. We are usually so engrossed with the linguistic study of an author, so intent on grappling with the subtleties of his grammatical structure, so satisfied with the plain and obvious meaning of his words, that we neglect to probe deeper, and search for the influences, which helped to colour his thoughts, and determine his outlook upon life. We are inclined to leave Higher Criticism as a practical monopoly to Biblical scholars, forgetting that writers are in most things children of their age, that they are immersed in its spirit, which often affects their intellectual being as profoundly and as intimately as their bodies are affected by their physical environment. Authors may themselves be at times unconscious of such influence, and its working may be revealed only by a phrase struck in harmony with some reigning sentiment, by a metaphor cast under the spell of some prevailing current of thought.
