E. Housman. These papers were originally published between 1882 and 1936 in a variety of academic journals, many of which are now difficult to obtain. The editors have checked and, where necessary, supplemented and updated all the references and corrected errors in them, but have otherwise presented each paper, in full, with the minimum of editorial comment. At the end of Volume III there are very elaborate and comprehensive indexes of passages, words and topics discussed by Houston. The Kleine Schriften of great scholars are among the most important and useful tools of the classicist??'s trade. This edition will be of the first importance among such collections and will provide an essential work of reference. Housman??'s known virtues as a textual critic are decisively confirmed and emphasized now that his papers can be seen in one complete and connected sequence. |
