Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1765) is entertaining but a bit silly though you can see the outlines of later British fiction in it. Beckford's Vathek (1787) is a much better book, dreamlike and psychological. #literature

This is a terrific edition of Xenophon's continuation of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. It's full of maps, illustrations, and helpful notes. It has a thorough introduction.
