The work of the Hellenistic poets in the third century BC has not
only an important place in Greek literature, but also a particular
significance for Latin poetry. Despite much technical work on the
texts and language of these authors - Theocritus, Callimachus,
Apollonius Rhodius, and others - previous literary criticism on
most of the major figures is limited in quantity and scope. Dr
Hutchinson provides a much needed picture of the poetry of this
period, and shows its quality and vitality. He explores the work of
the individual writers in turn, while developing a general
conception of the poetry as a whole, centred around the poets'
handling of tone, level, and form. Of particualr interest to many
readers, the book culminates in the presentation of a fresh
approach to the influence of Hellenistic poets in Rome. All
quotations in Greek or Latin have been translated by the author,
making this important new approach to the subject readily
accessible to everyone seriously interested in classics - those
with simply a basic knowledge of the background as well as students
and scholars in the field.
