Paperback. Condizione: New. (New York Review Books Classics). Gilbert Highet was a legendary teacher at Columbia University, admired both for his scholarship and his charisma as a lecturer. This work is his delightful exploration of Latin literature and the Italian landscape. Here, he recalls the places where the poets - Catullus, Virgil, Propertius, Horace, Tibullus, Ovid, and Juvenal - lived, and the impact of place on the essence of their work. The result of Highet's volume is that of an entirely sui generis amalgam of travel writing, biography, criticism, and pure poetry. Notes, Index. 276p.
paperback. Condizione: New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!
