Major themes include the concept of 'classic' in literature; religion and the debate about Providence; political and economic matters; the Roman Empire and its legacy; architecture, interior decoration and painting; systematic knowledge and science; the problem of patronage. Each excerpt has its own introduction. 264 pages, with Index. 6.2 x 9.2 inches. 1979, Ward Lock Educational Co Ltd in Assoc with Open University Press, Sussex, England.
