Under the Roman Empire Greek literature experienced a renaissance.
This flowering of interest in the Classics was in part a revival of
the traditional culture associated with the glorious past and in
part a development of new forms such as the novel, the classical
lecture and the erotic letter. This literature has traditionally
been considerably underrated and the essays in this 1982 volume of
Yale Classical Studies were collected in an attempt to draw
attention to the literary excellence of some undeservedly neglected
authors and to inspire more readers to take them seriously. As the
editors say in their introduction: 'nowadays we look to papyrology
for ocasional revelations of exciting new pieces of ancient
literature, but there are masterpieces already on the shelves
waiting to be noticed'. This book will be of interest to students
of Greek literature and ancient hsitory, especially to those
concerned with post-Hellenistic Greek culture.
