The book also explores the influence of ancient Greek literature and philosophy on English and American writers, and how this influence was reflected in the use of the Delphic maxim and its associated themes.Overall, ""Delphic Maxim And Theme In English And American Literature From 1775 To 1875"" provides a fascinating insight into the literary traditions of the English and American cultures during a significant period of history.
