Excerpt from Studies of the Greek Poets
The Essays which compose this book were written at intervals during the last eight years. Some of them have already appeared in the "North British" and the "Westminster" Reviews. It will be seen at a glance that I have not attempted a complete or systematic review of Greek Poetry. My purpose has been to select special points for treatment; nor have I aimed at an exhaustive discussion of the subjects which I have selected. To bring Greek literature home to the general reader, and to apply to the Greek poets the same sort of criticism as that which modem classics receive, has been my principal object It is possible that, with this aim in view, I may have been led into extravagances of style - especially in the Essays on Pindar, Aristophanes, and the Idyllic Poets.
