- Description
- Reflects on reading and responding to "Great Books," offering appreciative descriptions of samples from Plato, Homer, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Melville, and asserting their success in conveying moral philosophy artfully, despite the resistance of many modern readers. Treats KnT, MilT, ClT, FranT, MerT, WBPT, and PardPT, with recurrent attention to gentleness and gentilesse, to the sensibilities of the tale-tellers, and Chaucer's generosity of spirit.
