Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Latin Poetry: Lectures Delivered in 1893 on the Percy Turnbull Memorial Foundation in the Johns Hopkins University These lectures form the third course delivered on the Percy Turnbull Memorial foundation in the Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore in the spring of 1893. The first course was given by Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman in 1891, on "The Nature and Elements of Poetry," and was followed in 1892 by "The Growth and Influence of Classical Greek Poetry," by Professor Jebb. I will not deprecate in vain the (alas!) inevitable comparison with these two masterly volumes, but will hasten to put before my readers the general scope and aim which I proposed to myself, and in doing so I will use the words which formed the opening paragraphs of the introductory lecture as delivered in Baltimore: - "In the first of the lectures I take a very rapid survey of Latin poetry as a whole, never pausing to consider at all closely any particular poet, except in the case of one or two literary personages whose influence on the course of Latin poetry seems to have been generally underrated, and to whom I shall not have an opportunity to recur in subsequent lectures. I fear the imperative necessity to generalize on this first - to me most welcome - occasion of making your acquaintance will render it hard for me to avoid trying your patience.
