About This Item
Croom Helm, Londen (...), 1987. 250p. Hard bound with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Nice copy. 'In this valuable, suggestive and learned book Zanker discusses the exploitation of realism by poets of the Alexandrian movement form Aratus and Philetas to Moschus and Bion. His presentation is exemplary: theoretical issues are invariably followed by practical illustrations (in which the poets are generally surveyed seriatim) and each stage of the argument is clearly signposted in advance and equipped with ith own conclusion. (...) Z.'s book demonstrates how and why realism was an essential component of Alexandrian poetry.' (A.J. WOODMAN in The Classical Review (New Series), 1988, pp.266-68).

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
