Reviews
-
Should be required reading for anyone attempting to deal with the pastoral tradition.
Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
-
Professor Rosenmeyer's full-length study treats Theocritus not merely as a source for Vergil and later writers but as a poet--a significantly worthy poet--in his own right. This is a fully documented literary study of Theocritus that cannot help but provide the student with deep insight and steady appreciation of a notable Hellenistic author and a persistent literary genre.
