About This Item
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0198147759 . Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Else very light shelfwear to book. DJ has a bit of foxing. ; To understand fully the development of Latin poetry, one has to consider not only the prominent figures whose works survive entire but also the writers known to us only in fragments from quotations. The fragments of the non-dramatic poets have been collected by Baehrens, Morel, and Buchner, but only a few have ever received a commentary. This book revises the texts, taking advantage of much earlier work now largely forgotten, and provides the necessary interpretative and illustrative material. Some writers not usually included in this corpus are here covered, such as the minor works of Ennius. ; 560 pages .
