Francis Macdonald Cornford Livres
Francis Cornford fut un classiciste britannique qui s'écarta de l'approche philologique traditionnelle de l'étude de l'antiquité. Aux côtés d'universitaires partageant les mêmes idées à Cambridge, il se concentra sur la découverte des pensées et mythes sous-jacents qui ont façonné la Grèce classique. Ses œuvres explorèrent les racines profondes de la pensée et de la philosophie occidentales, soulignant souvent le lien entre la religion et la pensée spéculative. Grâce à ses publications influentes, il contribua à remodeler notre compréhension de la mythologie, de la philosophie et de la comédie antiques, et son œuvre satirique parodie encore aujourd'hui le système universitaire.
