Review

Review of the hardback: '... this invaluable and endlessly engaging book splendidly reflects their scholarly priorities and pleasures.' Journal of Classics Teaching

Review of the hardback: '... a book so full that it defies summary. ... will undoubtedly become an indispensable starting-point for many generations of students and scholars, presenting as it does the culmination of many years' thinking and writing on the part of both of its distinguished authors.' Hermathena

'Wary of generalization that only simplify or obscure, Fantuzzi and Hunter are right to have invested most of their energy in the scrutiny of details; it has enable them to produce the most formidable synthesis of Hellenistic poetic developments yet written.' Times Literary Supplement

Book Description

Hellenistic poets of the third and second centuries BC sought to mark their continuity with the classical past and to demonstrate their independence from it. This major new study explores the Greek poetry of the period and its reception and influence at Rome, allowing both sides of this literary practice to be properly appreciated for the first time. The book sets close readings of some of the most familiar poetry of the age, such as Callimachus' Aitia, alongside detailed consideration of newly published texts such as the epigrams of Posidippus.
