Edited by Sir Paul Harvey in its original 1937 edition and later revised by M. C. Howatson in 1989, the work chronicles the full sweep of Greco-Roman literary tradition — from Homer and Virgil to Sophocles and Cicero. The volume details the lives of authors, the content of major works, and the historical and cultural contexts that shaped them, making it an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and enthusiasts alike. With authoritative, encyclopaedic entries arranged for easy navigation, it illustrates the enduring influence of classical antiquity on Western thought and literature. The tone is precise and scholarly, yet accessible enough to serve as a trusted companion for anyone venturing into the classical world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887995269339,"sku":"2026200009485-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2744d5bb-6e15-4c5c-a739-f3bec9cb2570.png?v=1781751868","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009485-secondhand-the-oxford-companion-to-classical-literature","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
