Beschreibung

Spanning the Crusades, the Indian Raj, and the postwar decline of the British Empire, Homer s Turk illuminates how English writers of all eras have relied on Greek and Roman literature to help them understand the world once called the Orient. Even today, the Classics frame the West s relationship with the Islamic world, India, and China.
