Opis

Classics ought to be obsolete. Few today believe that learning Greek and Latin is the best training for the mind, or that the study of classical literature and art produces more cultivated, creative individuals.

Recenzje

Professor Morley not only justifies his long–standing commitment to classics but also provokes his readers to reflect upon its nature and significance. A brilliant success!   Paul Cartledge, Clare College, Cambridge Morley shows how the ideas, arts and interpretations of Graeco–Roman culture have shaped the present, for both good and ill, and demonstrates how a new generation of scholars are revitalizing the study of classics.   Sarah Bond, University of Iowa
