Text of eight poems by the third-century BC Greek poet Theocritus with introduction and substantial commentary.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
This is the first full-scale commentary on poems by Theocritus since Gow's edition of 1950, and the first to exploit the recent revolution in the study of Hellenistic and Roman poetry; the poems included in this volume (Idylls 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 13) are principally the bucolic poems which, through their influence on Virgil, established the Western pastoral tradition. The focus of the commentary is literary - both on how Theocritus exploited the classical heritage for a new type of poetry, and on what that poetry meant in the third century BC. The commentary, together with the introductory essays to each poem, makes a major contribution to the understanding of this extraordinary poetic form. The Introduction explores the meaning of 'bucolic', the presentation of a stylised countryside, the importance of eros in the bucolic world, and Theocritus' verbal and metrical style.
'... rich in brilliant and original ideas ... this is an admirable volume'. EVPHROSYNE
'... splendid volume ... this is a stimulating and learned volume, which will do much to encourage all areas of Theocritean studies.' Classical Review

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), 1999. XI,308p. Paperback. Nice copy. Like new. 'This splendid volume offers text and commentary on eight of the Idylls of Theocritus.
