Excerpt from A Literary History of Rome From the Origins to the Close of the Golden Age
This volume endeavours to present a connected account of Latin literature in its earliest phases and in its best period. Some preliminary attention has been paid to the descent of the Romans, their language, and character. For the patient research wherewith scholars have brought together the often mutilated fragments of archaic Latin, literary history lies under a great debt. These are profoundly instructive as germs of later productions. In this work, by a sketch of tribal origins, of primitive simplicity in Roman life, of prominent features in national affairs, and of changes in social or intellectual conditions, the suggestion intended to be conveyed is that of a development towards complexity parallel to the development out of the old rude monuments of the language into the finish of Cicero or Virgil. Literary advance has been exemplified by noting new modes of thought, new fashions in composition, and the attainment of new suppleness in expression and new effects in metrical harmony.
Throughout, one of the aims has been to insist upon the permanence of the Roman type despite every novelty and despite the inrush of Greek influences. Hellenism notwithstanding, the civilisation of Rome - principles, aspirations, aesthetics - remained Roman. The Roman borrowed in a Roman way. Not merely passive and impressionable, his masculine vigour strongly controlled and moulded foreign material. The national aspects of the literature have, therefore, been emphasised.
