A History of Roman Literature
by Harold North Fowler
Publisher: D. Appleton and Co. 1903
ISBN/ASIN: B002NRYFMM
Number of pages: 342
Description:
This book is intended primarily for use as a textbook in schools and colleges. I have therefore given more dates and more details about the lives of authors than are in themselves important, because dates are convenient aids to memory, as they enable the learner to connect his new knowledge with historical facts he may have learned before, while biographical details help to endow authors with something of concrete personality, to which the learner can attach what he learns of their literary and intellectual activity.
