Description: This classic work provides a continuous account of the whole of Greek literature in one volume. Particularly useful for the student are the careful summaries of the works dealt with and the judicious accounts of scholarly controversy on the more hotly debated points. First published in German in 1958, the book was extensively rewritten for the second edition in 1963, from which this translation, which was originally published by Methuen in 1966, was made. This new reprint makes it available once again to student and anyone with an interest in this formative period of literary history. From publisher's description.
