Présentation de l'éditeur
Dr. Johnson thus defines Latin: An exercise practised by schoolboys who turn English into Latin. Without accepting the limitations implied in this Johnsonian definition, teachers of classics will probably agree that the practice of Latin Prose Composition supplies them with their most efifective instrument for teaching clearness of thought and purity of style. It has been thought, therefore, that a collection of specimens of work done in this department of scholarship by those who either are, or have been, teachers in our great schools and Universities, cannot fail to be of interest to all friends of classical education. It is hoped that the names to be found in the list of contributors to this volume will be a guarantee that it is fairly representative of the best Latin scholarship of this country at the present day.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a fascinating comparative analysis of Latin verse from classical antiquity and the Victorian era, offering fresh insights into the mastery and artistry of Latin in both periods. The author delves into prosody, vocabulary, grammar, and structure, exploring how Latin was both an expression of and a shaping force in its respective cultural contexts. Through meticulous examination of selected works, the book uncovers intriguing parallels and contrasts between the two eras. It traces the enduring influence of classical models on Victorian poets and highlights their innovative adaptations, revealing the ways in which the Victorian mind engaged with the ancient world. The book argues that the study of Latin verse is not merely an exercise in linguistics but a gateway to understanding the intellectual and creative currents of both classical antiquity and the Victorian era. By bridging these seemingly distant worlds, it sheds new light on the power and enduring relevance of Latin as a medium for artistic expression.
