FRÄNKEL, H., Early Greek Poetry and Philosophy. A history of Greek epic, lyric, and prose to the middle of the fifth century. Basil Blackwell, Oxford, 1975. XII,555p.Paperback. Spine with a few light reading traces. Nice copy. Translation of 'Dichtung und Philosophie des frühen Griechentums', translation by M. Hadas and J. Willis. 'This is 'Geistesgeschichte' of the best kind, combined with careful analysis of the style of the works dealt with and their relation to the context of their time, and carried out by a scholar who combines the highest technical proficiency with great clarity of presentation and real imaginative sympathy with the ancient world. Unlike many very learned men, Fränkel is not afraid of personal judgements and bold generalizations; and his attitude contrasts refreshingly with the caginess of many historians of ancient literature. (...) to me the sections about Homer and Pindar seemed especially valuable. (...) Perhaps the greatest value of this important book for English-speaking readers lies in the way in which it exploits the study of characteristic modes of expression and their adaptation by successive generations of Greek writers.'
