Victorian Poetry: Poetry, Poetics and Politics (Routledge Critical History of Victorian Poetry)

Literary Texts and the Greek Historian

Routledge, 2000

This original survey explores the ways in which non-historical texts as well as historical ones can be used to construct Greek historical accounts.
