Book Description
This volume is intended for an introduction to the study of the epics. While the simplicity and directness of the epic style seem to make such a book unnecessary, the fact that a reference work of this nature has been constantly been in demand by the students and teachers alike, the fact that to many persons of literary tastes some of these great poems are inaccessible, and that to many more the pleasure of exploring for themselves " the realms of gold" is rendered impossible by the cares of business, has seemed sufficient excuse for its being.

Book Description
These volumes deal with the greatest epics in the world¿s literature, and the period of time covered embraces roughly 4000 years. A beginning is made with the ¿dawn¿ of literature, and even to the`¿dawn¿ of civilization, utilized floating traditions regarding tribal heroes that were already of hoary antiquity in their own days. Most of the literature represented here bears ¿the magic stamp of a master¿, it is plain, natural, and spirited, and, withal, ¿sustainedly noble¿ manner. There are two ways in which the epics can be dealt with in such a volume as this. One is by giving bald and brief summaries of their contents; another by rendering them, partly in condensed form, so as to convey to the reader some idea of their charm as narratives, and also something of their character and atmosphere, utilizing good metrical renderings of famous passages, and, as in the case of the Paradiso, utilizing poetic translations quite freely. The latter method has been adopted, so that the volume may be, not only a helpful work of reference for students, but also one which provides instructive and entertaining reading for those who have neither time nor opportunity nor the necessary equipment for perusing theoriginals. In engaging on this part of the work the writer hoped that he was doing something to extend the knowledge and appreciation of masterpieces among the masses of the people, and toinduce the rising generation of readers to cultivate with profit an intimate acquaintance with works of a great and noble poets and great scholars of many countries.
