Browne surveys some four centuries of Latin writing in three eras: the early period of Saturnian verse and the first poets schooled by Greece, the golden age of Cicero and Augustus, and the era of decline. Each author is set in his times, from Plautus and Ennius through Virgil, Horace and Livy to Tacitus and Juvenal.
A clear Victorian companion for anyone reading the Latin classics in translation or in the original. Download the free EPUB.
