This is a miscellaneous collection of Edith Hamilton essays, published shortly after her death. There are essays on non-classical authors, e.g., Goethe and Corneille. Edith Hamilton's work is consistent, and the themes of her books about the classical world re-occur. The opposition of the classical vs. the romantic is the theme of "These Sad Young Men" in which Aldous Huxley, who was then young, gets gently mocked. I will probably avoid Dylan Thomas and William Faulkner forever if they are really so awful as all that, but Jean Ingelow isn't bad at all. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"A great lady with a disciplined and noble mind and an unquenchable love of good literature. In this volume, we can still hear that calm but not passionless voice explaining the grandeurs and difficulties of some of her favorite books and communicating her appreciation of them to us." --Gilbert Highet Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
