Encompassing the period from the earliest archaic epics down through classical Athenian drama, this is the first concerted, step-by-step examination of the development of allusive poetics in the early Greek world. Recent decades have seen a marked rise in intertextual approaches to early Greek literature; as scholars increasingly agree on the need to read these texts in a comparative way, this only makes all the more urgent the question of how best to do so. This volume brings together divergent scholarly voices to explore the state of the field and to point the way forward. All twelve chapters address themselves to a core set of fundamental questions: how do texts generate meaning by referring to other texts and how do the poetics of allusivity change over time and differ across genres? The result is a holistic study of a key dimension of literary experience.
Read more- Covers all major authors and genres from the dawn of extant literary texts through the classical era, allowing readers to gain a diachronic sense of how the poetics of allusivity developed over time
- Enables readers to apprehend the current state of scholarship by presenting a variety of theoretical and practical approaches to core issues
- Combines literary and historical perspectives to allow readers to perceive how the varied relationships between texts evolve over time
