Escapists

Peter Green, "The Humanities Today," Essays in Antiquity (Cleveland: The World Publishing Company, 1960), pp. 1-25 (at 8):
A large number of classicists today might be classified as romantic escapists, impelled to burrow for warmth into the womb of a pre-industrial, non-atomic, unmechanized antiquity.
If I dared to call myself a classicist, I would plead guilty as charged.
