Greek Lyric of the Archaic and Classical Periods
From the Past to the Future of the Lyric Subject
Series:
Author:
What is distinctive about Greek lyric poetry? How should we conceptualize it in relation to broader categories such as literature / song / music / rhetoric / history? What critical tools might we use to analyse it? How do we, should we, can we relate to its intensities of expression, its modes of address, its uses of myth and imagery, its attitudes to materiality, its sense of its own time, and its contextualizations? These are questions that this discussion seeks to investigate, exploring and analysing a range of influential methodologies that have shaped the recent history of the field.
Dr David Fearn (DPhil 2003, University of Oxford), is Reader in Greek Literature at the University of Warwick. He has published a range of studies of Greek lyric poetry, including Pindarâs Eyes: Visual and Material Culture in Epinician Poetry (OUP, 2017).
