This ground-breaking volume connects the situatedness of genre in
English poetry with developments in classical scholarship,
exploring how an emphasis on the interaction between English
literary criticism and Classics changes, sharpens, or perhaps even
obstructs views on genre in English poetry. "Genre" has classical
roots: both in the etymology of the word and in the history of
genre criticism, which begins with Aristotle. In a similar vein,
recent developments in genre studies have suggested that literary
genres are not given or fixed entities, but subjective and unstable
(as well as historically situated), and that the reception of genre
by both writers and scholars feeds back into the way genre is
articulated in specific literary works. Classical scholarship,
literary criticism, and genre form a triangle of key concepts for
the volume, approached in different ways and with different
productive results by contributors from across the disciplines of
Classics and English literature. Covering topics from the
establishment of genre in the Middle Ages to the invention of
female epic and the epyllion, and bringing together the works of
English poets from Milton to Tennyson to Josephine Balmer, the
essays collected hereargue that the reception and criticism of
classical texts play a crucial part in generic formation in English
poetry.
