About This Item
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. Stapled without covers; corners soft, light soiling; good. Author's printed ink inscription to Lewis Hall Gordon. stock#31508.
