HADAS, M., A History of Greek Literature. Columbia University Press, New York, n.d.(>1950). VII,327p. Original blue gilt titled cloth. Nice copy. ‘This handsomely produced volume gives a survey of Greek literature from Homer to the beginning of the Middle Ages. Up to the Hellenic period the author claims that he has mentioned every writer of whom we have readable remains; with later writers he has naturally had to be more selective. Different periods and genres are treated as far as possible in separate chapters and, where necessary, a chapter is prefaced with a review of general trends and tendencies. The Bibliograpical Notes give a sensible selection of the chief works in English on the matter of each chapter. Professor Hadas has touches of engaging humour and some happy phrases (..). he presents his information with vigour and enthusiasm, but lavish admiration sometimes robs his language of meaning (…). One envies Professor Hadas his easy familiarity with this wide range of literature. He shows skill in arranging his material and in making it readable. It is unfortunate that this book has so many inaccuracies.’ (H.LL. HUDSON-WILLIAMS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1952, pp.26-27). € 20.00 (Antiquarian)
