Books by Robert Flaceliere

Offers a Greek history that deals with various works of Hellenic literature that are of interest to contemporary readers. This book follows the history of Greece down through the centuries as the writer records it. It describes the political atmosphere in the nation and the advances in the other arts that influenced literature.

There are several good histories of Greek literature of various shapes and sizes, but the purpose of this book is not simply to consider the literature of ancient Greece as an isolated subject, treating each of the literary modes - epic, lyric, drama, history, philosophy, and rhetoric - in terms of its own evolution
