Excerpt from Manual of Classical Literature: From the German The 6th edition was the last published during the life of the author. But the work has been printed once or twice since his death. The following is taken from the {remarks prefixed to the seventh edition (berlin, N ov. 1, 4-the continued acknowledgement of the great excellence of this Manual of Classical Literature, which is proved by the constant demand for the book, renders it unnecessary to say much by way of preface to a new edition. After the death Of Eschenburg, the society of booksellers employed a well qualified editor, who has revised the work and superintended it with great care and fidelity. An examination will show, that in doing this, advantage has been taken of the important results of modern classical researches? It is, therefore, confidently believed, that this work, will still be found one of the most useful of the kind; perhaps the' very best Manual, both for the Gymna sia, and other Seminaries, and also for private use.

Excerpt from Manual of Classical Literature: From the German of J. J. Eschenburg, Professor in the Carolinum at Brunswick Since the last edition of this Manual, there have appeared some performances of a similar kind, in which I thankfully find evidence of the utility of my own work, and am ready to acknowledge their excellence in some particulars. These works might render a new impression of mine superfluous; but the very frequent call for the Manual, the urgent request of the booksellers, and the apprehension Of a second counterfeit emission of the work, have persuaded me to prepare this fifth edition. In the emendations and improvements, I have been guided by the same considerations which controlled me in the preceding editions. In the additions in the part treating of the classic authors, I have received very friendly assistance from Professor Sar pier, of this place.

The writings of the Greeks and Romans form the bedrock of Western culture. Inventing the molds for histories, tragedies, and philosophies, while pioneering radical new forms of epic and poetry, the Greeks and Romans created the literary world we still inhabit today. Writing with verve and insight, distinguished classicist Richard Jenkyns explores a thousand years of classical civilization, carrying readers from the depths of the Greek dark ages through the glittering heights of Rome's empire. Jenkyns begins with Homer and the birth of epic poetry before exploring the hypnotic poetry of Pindar, Sappho, and others from the Greek dark ages. Later, in Athens's classical age, Jenkyns shows the radical nature of Sophocles's choice to portray Ajax as a psychologically wounded warrior, how Aeschylus developed tragedy, and how Herodotus, in "inventing history," brought to narrative an epic and tragic quality. We meet the strikingly modern figure of Virgil, struggling to mirror epic art in an age of empire, and experience the love poems of Catullus, who imbued verse with obsessive passion as never before. Even St. Paul and other early Christian writers are artfully grounded here in their classical literary context. A dynamic and comprehensive introduction to Greek and Roman literature, Jenkyns's Classical Literature is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the classics -- and the extraordinary origins of Western culture. "There is scarcely anything on which he does not offer an original aperç sometimes illuminating, sometimes simply provocative, but always worth reading... Jenkyns's view of ancient literature is Olympian." -- G.W. Bowersock, The New York Review of Books
Excerpt from Classical Antiquities, Being Part of the Manual of Classical Literature There is another peculiarity, which distinguishes this work; it presents numerous references to authors treating of the general sub jeeta, and also in many cases to works on particular topics introduced. These references are given in such a manner as not to delay or em barrass the youngest student, and yet they may help the more advanced scholar and the teacher to find readily further information, if they wish, and have the time and means at command.
