A History of Roman Literature: From the Earliest Period to the Death of Marcus Aurelius by Charles Thomas Cruttwell is a comprehensive survey of the literature produced in ancient Rome from its earliest beginnings up until the death of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD. The book covers a wide range of genres, including epic poetry, drama, history, biography, and philosophy. Cruttwell begins by exploring the origins of Roman literature, including the influence of Greek literature on Roman writers. He then examines the works of some of the most famous Roman authors, such as Virgil, Horace, and Ovid, and provides detailed analyses of their most significant works. Throughout the book, Cruttwell also explores the social and political context in which these works were written, highlighting the ways in which literature both reflected and shaped Roman society. He discusses the role of literature in promoting Roman values and ideals, as well as its use as a tool for political propaganda. In addition to its comprehensive coverage of Roman literature, the book also includes a helpful appendix of literary terms and a bibliography for further reading. Overall, A History of Roman Literature is an essential resource for anyone interested in the literature and culture of ancient Rome.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
