Critical Essays, Volume II

About the author

Stephen Usher was Senior Lecturer in Classics at Royal Holloway College.

Summary

Dionysius of Halicarnassus, born ca. 60 BC, aimed in his critical essays to reassert the primacy of Greek as the literary language of the Mediterranean world. They constitute an important development from the somewhat mechanical techniques of rhetorical handbooks to more sensitive criticism of individual authors.
