A History of Latin Literature

Moses Hadas was (and perhaps still is) the preeminent scholar of Classical, both Greek and Latin, Literature. In A History of Latin Literature, Hadas explores and defines, explains and unveils, compresses and expounds upon the mass oevre that is Latin literature. Tracing Roman literacy from its early beginnings through its complex years of "Golden Age" to its decline, Hadas outlines clearly and concisely. This book is essential for anyone interested in ancient literature. Whether you're a high school latin student, a Classics major in college, or have no understanding or prior knowledge of the Latin language, this book is for you.
