HUTTON, MAURICE - The Greek Point of View

London, Hodder & Stoughton. 1925, 1st UK Edition. Hardcover. Book, Maurice Hutton 1856-1940 "Was largely responsible for redesigning Toronto's honor classics program as another "Greats" with literature as the foremost ingredient. Students regarded him as "brilliant, Periclean Greek, far-ranging, witty, gently sarcastic .. an erudite Plato with a dash of the lightheartedness of Alcibiades." His wide-ranging mind and penchant for historical and contemporary parallels made him a lion in the defense and promulgation of the classics. His visit and idiosyncratic address to Gildersleeve's seminar at Johns Hopkins captivated his audience. His contributions to the Loeb Classical Library (revised later by R. M. Ogilvie and E. H. Warmington), his urbane wit, and provocative essays illuminated and graced a time of strain for classics in Toronto's higher education." Undated {[1925] 207p.index. An exceptionally neat copy in a handsome red cover. The original sun faded DJ that protected is now in a plastic sleeve. Fine/Very Good, Slight Chips.
