OFFPRINT from Classical Philology XXXIII: 1, January 1938. "The casual reader of the Greek romances finds them for the most part... similar even to the point of monotony. Most... present a beautiful, exceedingly virtuous heroine and a perfect hero... a closer examination reveals... that the characters of Achilles Tatius [Greek rhetorician; wrote the romance 'Leucippe and Cleitophon'] behave in strange ways... It is the belief of the present writer that... finding the idealism of his predecessors insipid he ridicules it by parody." Soft Cover. Signed. 19 pages, 24 cm.

He was a poet who used all the material, homiletic, theological, or allegorical, with which he was familiar, to create a work essentially his own, different in quality and kind from any other work of the Middle Ages. "Piers Plowman," says mr Nevill Coghill, "is a Christian poem about humanity, and it deals entirely with with most important of all questions possible to the Christian, namely "How can a man win salvation?".' 366 p., 18 cm.; pictorial paper covers; ink owner's name, ink underlining & notes; good. 31987.
