| 520 | _a"Illustrated History of Ancient Literature, Oriental and Classical" by John D. Quackenbos is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides a comprehensive overview of ancient literatures from various cultures, including Greek, Roman, and several Oriental texts. It aims to educate readers about the evolution of literature, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical writings as a means of gaining insight into the intellectual and cultural developments of past civilizations. The opening of this volume begins with a preface that underscores the significance of literature as a reflection of civilization and a key to comprehending humanity's intellectual journey. The author discusses the relatively recent emergence of literature as a distinct field of study and the imperative for modern scholars and students to connect with the literary legacies of earlier cultures. He outlines the book’s structure, which will cover ancient Oriental literatures as well as the classics of Greece and Rome, and promises that the main text will include both historical context and illustrative extracts that highlight the work of prominent authors of those eras. Additionally, the edition aims to make the study accessible for high schools and colleges, preparing students for a lifetime of literary appreciation and philological investigation.
