The Clacical Influence in English Literature in the Nineteenth Century

More about the book

This collection of essays and notes by William Chislett explores the influence of classical literature on the work of English writers in the 19th century. With close readings of works by Tennyson, Browning, Arnold, and others, Chislett examines the ways in which these writers both drew on and departed from classical models, and he argues for the continued relevance of these ancient texts for contemporary readers.
