Reprint 3rd corr.ed. XIV,637p. Cloth wrps. Nice copy.'Fränkel's survey of early Greek literature extends down to 450 B.C. though excluding Epicharmus and Aeschylus, It is enlivened by translations of generous extracts from the poets which are also paraphrased and discussed, sometimes in considerable detail. Because of its breadth of view, the wealth of its illustrative examples, and its stimulating and often illuminating comments, it is a book in which students and teachers of Greek will find much to admire and to enjoy. (...) The wealth of material presented and the quality of the presentation make this a very valuable book.' (J. TATE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1953, p.146-48).
