European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages

"Curtius' book (here supplemented and very carefully rendered into English) was an international sensation among scholars when it appeared in German in 1947. But as a work which had grown out of the vitality of an enthusiast, and under the pressures of a specific historical situation, it attracted much more than scholarly interest. It is one of the rare books on literature that give the reader true enjoyment and point out to him hitherto neglected sources of beauty and truth.Curtius, Ernst Robert is the author of 'European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages' with ISBN 9780691018997 and ISBN 0691018995.
