Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: With Illustration, Original and From the Antique, Drawn on Wood
As for the strength of the case made out against Macau lay's justice and reliability, controversy would fall within the Scope of a discussion of his history or his essays, rather than within that of this introduction. I cannot, however, refrain from commenting that a much more bitter partisanship than his seems to characterize the writings of his detractors, and that I know of very few instances where his facts and judgments have suffered by comparison with the revisions suggested or demanded.

Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: With Illustration, Original and From the Antique, Drawn on Wood
In preparing notes for this edition of the Lays, the editor has had in mind chiefly the needs of the non-classical student, to whom the text presents much that he is not all familiar with. What any reader needs, in order to derive the greatest satisfaction from the reading, is a clear appreciation of the circumstances and situations as they might appear to a Roman for whom the Lays are assumed to have been written. To go further than this, and make the Lays a basis for the extended study of Roman history, geography, mythology, ad antiquities, would, in the editor's opinion, be a mistake. The author deemed his own introductions to the several Lays to be sufficient; but these take for granted a certain amount of knowledge that young readers cannot fairly be assumed to possess; and even the customary explanatory notes, unless inordinately extended, leave something to be desired. One needs to read at some length the accounts that historians have given of Rome in the early days, in order to surround himself with the right atmosphere, so to speak, in which to read the Lays with the keenest appreciation. Any good history of Rome that has a good index may be used for the purpose here indicated.
The editor has not often yielded to the ever-present temptation to give the meanings of words that can be found in a dictionary. Some such words needs additional explanation or illustration, but in general the student should learn to depend upon his own research.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating realm of early Roman history, exploring the intriguing connection between historical accounts and the long-lost tradition of Roman ballad poetry. The author contends that many of the captivating tales from Rome's early years, often dismissed as mere legends, may have originated as ancient ballads passed down through generations. The text meticulously examines the evolution of Roman literature, tracing the transition from the vibrant oral tradition of balladry to the more formal written works influenced by Greek models. The author posits that esteemed Roman historians like Livy drew upon these ballads, weaving their dramatic narratives into their historical accounts. Through a comparative analysis of historical texts and the remnants of ballad poetry from various cultures, this book sheds light on the profound influence of oral traditions on the shaping of historical narratives. The author's insightful exploration challenges conventional perspectives on early Roman history, suggesting that the echoes of forgotten ballads resonate within the chronicles of this remarkable civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330023549_0
