Tombs of the Ancient Poets explores the ways in which the tombs of
the ancient poets - real or imagined - act as crucial sites for the
reception of Greek and Latin poetry. Drawing together a range of
examples, it makes a distinctive contribution to the study of
literary reception by focusing on the materiality of the body and
the tomb, and the ways in which they mediate the relationship
between classical poetry and its readers. From the tomb of the boy
poet Quintus Sulpicius Maximus, which preserves his prize-winning
poetry carved on the tombstone itself, to the modern votive
offerings left at the so-called 'Tomb of Virgil'; from the doomed
tomb-hunting of long-lost poets' graves, to the 'graveyard of the
imagination' constructed in Hellenistic poetry collections, the
essays collected here explore the position of ancient poets' tombs
in the cultural imagination and demonstrate the rich variety of
ways in which they exemplify an essential mode of the reception of
ancient poetry, poised as they are between literary reception and
material culture.
