Francis Macdonald Cornford Books
Francis Cornford was a British classicist who moved away from the traditional philological approach to studying antiquity. Alongside like-minded scholars at Cambridge, he focused on uncovering the underlying thoughts and myths that shaped classical Greece. His works explored the deep roots of Western thought and philosophy, often emphasizing the connection between religion and speculative thought. Through his influential publications, he contributed to reshaping our understanding of ancient mythology, philosophy, and comedy, and his satirical work continues to lampoon the academic system.
