Product Description
Originally published under the General Editorship of Thomas H. Greer, the series emanated from the Humanities Department of Michigan State University. The books remain today perhaps the best sources available for the comprehensive study in one volume of every subject area which might be included in the umbrella of humanities. Most major literary forms are represented: essay, poem, short story, play, novel, memoir, epigram, scientific discourse, philosophical treatise, political manifesto, and religious proclamation. All major subject areas are explored: art, music, education, mathematics, biology, psychiatry, religion, philosophy, politics, economics, and physics. The informative apparatus, headnotes, and footnotes are all aimed at enhancing the student-reader's comprehension.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Anthology of Classical Thought   April 19, 2008

Got this for a college course I took on the Classical World. I actually own Vol. I, II, and III. The book gives you snipets of great classical works, which has nevertheless led me to purchasing the actual books in many instances.

Ordered this particular book to accompany a distance education course by the most excellent Dr. John Riddle of North Carolina State University. This book of original works was the basis for great literature discussions during this course.
