Description

"This Reader contains Latin texts from Petrarch in the 14th century to Rimbaud in the 19th, and includes some history and anthropology, several letters, scientific publications (astronomy, biology, physics), some poetry, and a long section on the Latin literature produced in and about the New World. As well as Petrarch and Rimbaud, authors include Erasmus, John Barclay, George Buchanan, Sir Thomas More, Ludvig Holberg, Christopher Columbus, and many others. Selections describe the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, Macbeth's reign, and the first English expedition to the Americas, as well as other events. Each selection is preceded by an English introduction and extensive notes on grammar and vocabulary"--Author's website.
