| Publisher Description: 1916. The world's great epics told in story. This work contains almost every variety of epic, from that which treats of the deity in dignified hexameters, strictly conforms to the rule " one hero, one time and one action of many parts," and has "the massiveness and dignity of sculpture," to the simplest idylls, such as the Japanese "White Aster," or that exquisite French medieval compound of poetry and prose, "Aucassin et Nicolette." |
