Excerpt from Selected Essays of Plutarch: Translated With Introduction

In poetry it was the age of description, reflection, satire, and moralizing, in the highest degree sensible, studiously informed with wit - in the broader Queen Anne sense of that word - and characterized by extreme deftness of pointed and quotable phrase, but in no sense creative, imaginative, or inspired. Its ideal contents consisted of what oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed The attitudes of both prose-writer and poet belonged to the intellectual and aesthetic Spirit of the period, and so far as that spirit finds an individual embodiment in the Greek half of the Roman Empire, it finds him in Plutarch of Chaeronea.
