Author:
In this volume, Robin J. Greene traces the development of Greek elegy and lyric in the hands of Hellenistic and Roman-era poets, from literary superstars such as Callimachus and Theocritus to more obscure, often anonymous authors. Designed as a guide for advanced students and scholars working in adjacent fields, this volume introduces and explores the diverse body of surviving later Greek elegy and lyric, contextualizes it within Hellenistic and Roman culture and politics, and surveys contemporary critical interpretations, methodological approaches, and avenues for future study.
Robin J. Greene, Ph.D. (2011), University of Washington, is Associate Professor of Classics at Providence College. She has published on Callimachus, Greek elegy, and ancient paradoxography, including an edition and commentary for the Paradoxographus Florentinus in Brill’s Die Fragmente der Griechischen Historiker Part IV.
