Roses of Paestum

This vintage book contains a collection of essays written by Edward McCurdy. The essays are all based on medieval Greece, offering interesting historical information and wonderful descriptions of society with special reference to the art and beauty characteristic of the place and period. This charming volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Greek history and culture, and it would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Contents include: "Roses Of Paestum", "The Vita Nuova", "Palmers, Pilgrims, And Romers", "Vision And Memory", "Undiscovered Islands", "Deo Sou Invicto", "The Horns Of Elfland", and "Ros Rosarum". Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
