"English Literature and Ancient Languages is a study of the literary uses of languages contact, of English literature in conjunction with Latin and Greek. The book's emphasis is literary, that is formal and verbal, and its goal is to discover how social interests and cultural ideals are, and are not, mediated through language."--Jacket.
