The Traditions Of European Literature - From Homer to Dante
By Barrett Wendell
Published by John Murray: London 1921 1st Edition
Includes Original 1921 Book Summary From "The Bookman"

" The Traditions of European Literature - From Homer to Dante (1921) presents Barrett Wendell's sweeping survey of the classical foundations upon which Western literary culture was built. Writing as Professor Emeritus of English at Harvard, Wendell traces the lineage of European thought from the Homeric epics through the poets, dramatists and philosophers of Greece and Rome, demonstrating how their artistic principles, moral inquiries and narrative forms shaped the Latin Middle Ages and ultimately culminated in the works of Dante. His approach is both scholarly and accessible, emphasising continuity of theme and inheritance rather than isolated periods, and offering readers a clear, elegant map of how literary tradition developed across more than two millennia.

Published by John Murray in 1921, this first edition captures Wendell at the height of his critical maturity, distilling decades of teaching into a refined, lucid interpretation of the European canon. It serves equally as a guide for students entering the classical tradition and as a thoughtful reappraisal for seasoned readers interested in the structural and philosophical underpinnings of Western literature. This volume will appeal to collectors of early twentieth-century literary criticism, admirers of classical and medieval scholarship, and readers seeking a coherent and authoritative overview of Europe's formative literary heritage."
