(Francis Whiting) 1851 1919 Halsey, Francis Whiting The Best of the World's Classics, Restricted to prose. Volume I (of X) - Greece Produced by Joseph R. Hauser, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Best of the World's Classics, Restricted to Prose, Volume I (of X)" edited by Henry Cabot Lodge is a collection of notable prose works from various classical authors, primarily from Greece, written during the early 20th century. The anthology aims to showcase significant excerpts that embody the essence of timeless wisdom and historical significance from key figures in Western literature. It primarily collects works from prominent historical and philosophical figures such as Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, and others. At the start of the anthology, the introduction by Lodge sets forth the purpose of the collection, presenting the need for curated selections to navigate through the vastness of literary works. It explains the value of anthologies in enriching readers' understanding of literature and thought, while also addressing the challenges involved in choosing excerpts from prose, which often cannot be conveyed fully in isolated passages. Lodge emphasizes the anthology's goal: to connect readers with the wisdom and beauty of classical literature, nurturing a deeper appreciation of the prose that has shaped Western civilization. The section lays the groundwork for the selected works that follow, highlighting the historical context and emphasizing the intellectual legacy encapsulated within these writings.
