R. W. Browne, professor of classical literature at King's College, London, published this History of Roman Classical Literature in 1853 as a companion to his history of Greek literature. It begins with the Latin language, its Italian relatives and the earliest inscriptions, hymns and Saturnian verse, then follows the writers in order: Livius Andronicus, Naevius and Ennius, the comedy of Plautus and Terence, the satirists, the orators and historians of the Republic, Cicero, Lucretius and Catullus, the Augustan poets Virgil, Horace and Ovid, Livy, and the silver-age writers down to Columella and Frontinus. Browne quotes freely in Latin and English, and a chronological table closes the volume. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
