Description
The Wind in the Willows: Exploring Classical Influences This study examines Grahame's engagement with classical antiquity in his beloved novel, revealing subtle echoes that link The Wind in the Willows to ancient epic and literature. Irby demonstrates how these allusions, including parody and pastoral imagery, cumulatively suggest a connection between the novel and classical literature. A unique resource for scholars of classical reception and literature, as well as comparative literature and children's literature, this volume offers a fresh interpretation of The Wind in the Willows through the lens of classical literature.
