In this book one of the world's leading Hellenists brings together
his many contributions over four decades to our understanding of
major genres of Greek literature, above all the Greek novel, but
also Attic Comedy, fifth-century historiography, and Hellenistic
and Imperial Greek poetry. Many are already essential reading, such
as the chapter on the figure of Lycidas in Theocritus' Idyll 7, or
two chapters on the ancient readership of Greek novels. Discussions
of Imperial Greek poetry published three decades ago opened up a
world almost entirely neglected by scholars. Several chapters
address literary and linguistic issues in Longus' novel Daphnis and
Chloe, complementing the author's commentary published in 2019; two
contribute to a better understanding of the enigmatic Aethiopica of
Heliodorus; and many explore important questions arising from
examination of the form of the Greek novel as a whole. This is the
second of a planned three-volume collection.
