Descrizione

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Though very different in style and person, Frye and Macpherson were both unusually committed, effective teachers. Much of their scholarly writing emerged from their work as university lecturers and was designed to help student readers and others. The present book is quintessential Frye and Macpherson. The underlying scholarship is extensive and deep but the presentations of Biblical and Classical myths are readily accessible to any attentive learner. The texts are as fresh as at the time of their first deliveries . -- In a period of human history in which numerous cultures jostle together daily, sometimes creatively and sometimes with fiercely destructive results, it is important to understand the traditions of Western culture, as it combines and recombines with others. This book is dedicated to that end. ISBN 9780802086952
