The Literary History of a Greek Myth
Traces the use of the Ancient Greek Endymion myth throughout English literary history, with a focus on non-dramatic verse. It begins by looking at the original myth, then examines how and why it changed in English literature.
In In and Out of the University and Adversity, Edward Le Comte abandons the professorial impersonal for a candid and confessional look back from the vista of 84 years and a marriage (to a Czech refugee artist) that has lasted what a miracle these days! fifty-five years.Much of the surrounding book is a mordant critique of the present-day cultural and educational scene. But Le Comtes love of teaching and for his teachers loom large in a book so rich in anecdotes and personalities that it reads like a novel.
