Late Hellenistic Greek literature, both prose and poetry, stands
out for its richness and diversity. Recent work has tended to take
an author-by-author approach that underestimates the
interconnectedness of the literary culture of the period. The
chapters assembled here set out to change that by offering new
readings of a wide range of late Hellenistic texts and genres,
including historiography, geography, rhetoric and philosophy,
together with many verse texts and inscriptions. In the process,
they offer new insights into the various ways in which late
Hellenistic literature engaged with its social, cultural and
political contexts, while interrogating and revising some of the
standard narratives of the relationship between late Hellenistic
and imperial Greek literary culture, which are too often studied in
isolation from each other. As a whole the book prompts us to
rethink the place of late Hellenistic literature within the wider
landscape of Greek and Roman literary history.
