Excerpt from The Classic Poets: Their Lives and Their Times, With the Epics Epitomised

Or of the literature of the period to which the Epic belonged, this being followed by an epitome of the Epic itself, interspersed with selected passages. It has been written in the hope that a book of this kind would prove a novelty, and find favourable reception in these days of popular literature, when frequent references are made to little known scenes and characters in the old poems, and that numerous readers might think it well to have their salient points brought before them in this way, who would not care, or be willing to give the time, to peruse the Epics in their entirety. A complete and intimate knowledge of these could only be obtained with little. Less than the labour of years, and with those who are.
