Copely on ffep. “This lucid and comprehensive history offers a critical account of five centuries of Latin literature – a literature remarkable both in itself and in its influence on the content and form of subsequent Western liteature. Writing for the general reader, the distinguished scholar Frank O. Copely presents a distillation of his years of wide experience and reading in the field. He begins with the early literary fragments (3d century B.C.) and traces literary development through the ‘Golden Age’ – the age of Cicero, Catullus, Caesar, Ovid, Horace, and Vergil. ‘Latin Literature’ closes with the gradual fading of the classical vision in the second century A.D.”
