Summary "The Student's Companion to Latin Authors" by George Middleton and Thomas Ross Mills is a reference work that serves as an informative guide about key Latin authors and their works, likely written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide useful details regarding the lives and writings of significant literary figures in ancient Roman literature, serving as a companion to other historical analyses and critiques. It caters primarily to students and scholars of Latin, offering a thorough synthesis of facts to enhance understanding of classical texts. The opening portion of this work lays out its primary objective, which is to compile comprehensive information about the principal Latin authors in an accessible form. The authors explain that previous literature histories often prioritize critical evaluations over detailing facts about the authors’ lives and works. They focus on major figures, beginning with Livius Andronicus and detailing each author's contributions, alongside historical context and bibliographical references, while acknowledging the importance of lesser-known authors in illustrating the greater literary landscape of the time. The introduction establishes the companion's role as a valuable resource for students and educators alike. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
