In this two-volume reference, the authors summarize the type and content of Early Christian writings, concluding each entry with a short bibliography of editions, translations, and secondary sources. Entries for major figures, such as John Chrysostom and Augustine, are lengthy, providing a detailed exposition on their careers and writings. Though a few chapters are devoted to a single writer, most are thematic, containing separate entries for the writers of an era, genre, or ideology. A sampling of chapter topics includes the letters of Paul, the gospel tradition, Greek writers of the Arian controversy, Christian poetry of the West, the age of the barbarian invasions, and minor exegetes in the Greek world of the 5th and 6th centuries. The entries include Greek writers through 553 (the Fifth Ecumenical Council of Constantinople) and Latin writers through the 6th century. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

reviewed Early Greek and Latin Literature Set: A Literary History on September 02, 2015 Early Greek and Latin Literature Set: A Literary History
My attention was mainly on the RH material but all of it was interesting eg. the hundreds of changes made to an 1860's edition of Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur to make it acceptable as the 'text'. What I also found very interesting was how, for much of the century, Marian provided a very different role model as compared to Guinevere etc. ie she resisted the conservative moral exemplum to which the others were employed.
I found Barczewski's examination of the roles played by the mythic icons of Arthur and RH in helping construct (and sometimes challenge) British history and character fascinating. There was one example that I thought was stretching things (which, of course, I now can't find) but overall this work is well researched and well argued.
