KIRK, G.S., Homer and the Epic. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1965. X,243p. ills. Paperback. With signature from Prof. W.G. Arnott on free endpaper.A shortened version of 'The Songs of Homer'. 'I have nothing but admiration for the clarity of Mr Kirk's exposition and the tact with which he avoids the chatter of popularization on the one hand and the jargon of technical scholarship on the other. He is that rarest of birds in contemporary classical studies: a good teacher … It is something of an accomplishment to combine archaeological exposition, linguistics, literary criticism and aesthetics in an extended, vivid, speculative argumentation. It is superb teaching.' (DUDLEY FITTS). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 18.50 (Antiquarian)
