Bøker av C. M. Bowra

Published in 1930, this volume is still considered one of the standard works of criticism on the great epic.

Politics are not alien to poetry and in his Wiles Lectures Sir Maurice Bowra covered the main lines of European poetry during the first sixty years of the twentieth century in so far as it directly related to politics. He illuminates the three poetical forms with a political influence: the prophetic; the intimate and personal.

First published in 1964, this volume remains the standard introduction to Pindar.
