Recenzje

McOsker's book offers a splendid survey and critical account of Epicurean poetics, from the master himself down to our most important source for its entire tradition, Philodemus of Gadara, whose own poems are not only taken into account in McOsker's study of the theories, but are also treated as poems in their own right. Anybody interested in Hellenistic (and hence Latin) literary theory will want to read this book.
