Opis

In exploring the idea of lyric performances as 'textual events', this volume marks a departure from interpretations of Greek lyric as socio-political discourse. Building on the renewed concern with the aesthetic, it studies poetic effects that cannot be captured in terms of function alone and re-examines the relationship between form and context.

Recenzje

[I] was impressed with the clarity and utility of the concept of textual events editors Budelmann and Phillips present ... [this book] offers its readers a cautious methodological synthesis with an astonishing degree of flex and sway ... form[s] an impressive and clarion whole. Dennis R. Alley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
