AUTHOR

Gentili, Bruno, Cole, A. Thomas

SUMMARY

"This is a stimulaing, informative book. Do not be deterred by the many pages given to theoretical and methodological discussions early on: they undergrind the specific readings that follow, of Archilochus and Pindar, Sappho and Anacreon, and the rest; and Gentili enlivens the more abstract considerations suggested in his titles ('the poetry of mimesis,' 'the sociology of meaning') with incisive illustrations and analogies. He keeps us aware of contexts: social and political, economic and cultural. His sense of poet and audience is acute, imaginative, philologically responsible, and humane."-- Kenneth J. Reckford, UNC Chapel Hill in The Classical Outlook, Winter 1989-1990.Gentili, Bruno is the author of 'Poetry and Its Public in Ancient Greece: From Homer to the Fifth Century - Bruno Gentili - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780801832901 and ISBN 080183290X.
