19888538Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. 1988. Softcover. Very Good. Gift inscription from author on ffep. Rubbing in places to front panel of wraps slight colour loss else Fine.; In this carefully argued and stimulating study the author investigates the era in which the written work - the book - superseded the assumption of oral composition and performance. In this and in other respects as this study demonstrates Hellenistic poets saw themselves as now being part of a new world remote from the great genres and achievements of the earlier literary tradition. That sense of distance from the past gave authors freedom to experiment. At the same time it incited them to view their poetic heritage as something deserving intense scholarly study. The author examines one fundamental result of this attitude the Hellenistic tendency toward learned allusion and what this meant to a period pursuing a different literary approach. The Well-Read Muse concludes with an analysis of Callimachus' Hymn to Delos as a paradigmatic instance of the play between present and past tradition and originality that typified the age. Here the author sheds important light on the poet's choice not to make Apollo his theme as his models had but to focus rather on the diminutive slender island through which the god of song was born. Accompanied by a new Introduction by the author and corrections to the text and notes as well as by an extensive bibliography and indices of passages and subjects discussed The Well-Read Muse provides an important understanding of this turning point in Greek poetical development. There was no escaping the new world of which these poets were a part: Peter Bing's impressive work examines the ways in which poets confronted this new reality.; Hypomnemata ; Heft 90; 163 pages; Signed by Author . 3525251890 .
