In this Very Short Introduction, William Allan explores what the "classics" are and why they continue to shape our Western concepts of literature. Presenting a range of material from both Greek and Latin literature, he illustrates the variety and sophistication of these works, and considers examples from all major genres. --Provided by publisher. 7aClassical literaturexHistory and criticism.2BUEsh939857  2BUEsh  cApril2016bHHUUEENN  vReading book934232  2ddccBB  c21654d21626  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc2NDd2016-04-19ePurchaseg81.00l0o880.09 ALLp000032369r2025-07-15 00:00:00v101.25w2016-04-19yBB
