An influential German classical scholar and textual critic, Johann
Carl Otto Ribbeck (1827 98) published several important works on
Roman poetry, notably Geschichte der romischen Dichtung. His two
volumes of Virgil's works (second edition, 1894 5) are reissued in
this series. First published in 1875, the present work provides a
detailed account of the emergence and development of Roman tragedy
during the Republic. The book begins with an introduction that
discusses how Greek tragedy served as a model for Roman writers.
Ribbeck then goes on to outline the most important authors and
their works. Among these are Livius Andronicus, celebrated as the
father of Latin literature, and Quintus Ennius, regarded as the
mediator between Greek and Roman poetry. The final sections of the
book deal with the art form of Roman tragedy and its performance on
stage."
