Excerpt from Theocritus in English LiteratureBut it is evident that in such an investigation as the present one, the start may be made in either English literature or some foreign literature. The student may select an English poet and trace his allusions, imitations, locutions, ideas and images to their sources in the Classics, or he may choose a Greek or Roman poet and trace his in¿uence through all its channels in our literature. It is the latter kind of work I have undertaken with Theocritus. In either case the study assumes large proportions and the results are such as not only to increase in every way our knowledge of the particular author but also to illuminate the whole field of literature, more especially English literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
