The Greek poetry of the archaic period that we call elegy was
composed primarily for banquets and convivial gatherings. Its
subject matter consists of almost any topic, excluding only the
scurrilous and obscene. In this completely new Loeb Classical
Library edition, Douglas Gerber provides a faithful translation of
the fragments and significant testimonia that have come down to us,
with full explanatory notes.
Most substantial in this volume is the collection of elegiac
verses to which Theognis' name is attached. Drinking and
merry-making are frequent themes in these poems; there are also
more reflective and philosophic pieces and love poems. Together
they offer an interesting picture of an aristocratic man's views
about life, friendship, fate, and daily concerns. Also notable in
this volume is the martial verse of the Spartan Tyrtaeus and the
poetry of Solon, Athens' famous lawmaker.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the
development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.
