"Extraordinarily rich and awesomely learned.... The complexity of its subject matter is here mastered in an exemplary fashion. The study offers detailed, concrete, and perceptive assessments of individual writers within a lucid and carefully balanced design.... As a work of striking originality as well as formidable yet lively scholarship,... Green's book will become a central, even classic, text for students of Renaissance poetry and of a cardinal topos in the history of criticism and hermeneutics." -From the citation for the award of the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association, 1982 "An outstanding example of learning fully commanded and applied with uncommon perception, a lively sense of historical continuity, and, not least important, productive familiarity with modern literary theory. In its breadth of knowledge, the interplay of literary history and theory, the maturity of its judgments and the urbanity of its style, Professor Greene's study is a most distinguished achievement of American scholarship." -From the citation for the award of the Annual James Russell Lowell Prize, given by the Modern Language Association of America, 1983 No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Though he read several languages, his principal second language was French, and his wife was a native speaker who said it was unfortunate for New Haven, "It turns its back on the sea."
Tom Greene's Light in Troy is enhanced by his wonderful ability to capture tone in his own translations. His generosity as a classroom or a tutorial presence, his genial wit and extensive knowledge of multiple literatures put him in a world apart. I once wrote this sonnet in his honor, and in memory of our Folger research seminar:
When like the afterlight of April days
The heat of our fair summer shall grow dim,
Or when the turtle from the pond mislays
Her eggs in sandy banks too near the rim,
When summers echoes are in ice encased
By freezing rains of dreary late December,
And our fair conversation long erased
Like chalk from walls that now cannot remember,
Then shall this paper, like a monument
To skirmishes forgotten by the young,
Remind us of our sometime regiment,
Demobbed, disbanded, and dispersed long,
Then shall we few, we veterans sixteen
Toast our fond service under Col'nel Greene. ( )
