Homer And His Critics

Here is presented a succinct and insightful account of the reception of the Iliad and Odyssey from antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. The overall result is less a systematic history than a series of independent studies differing in scale and focus, the chapter on Gladstone being the most comprehensive and detailed. A valuable contribution to a subject of perennial fascination, Homer and His Critics will be of interest to all students and teachers of the classics. First published in 1958.
