One of the most characteristic literary forms of the era, the epigram, unlike any other ancient or classical form of poetry, was not only composed for public recitation but was also collected in books intended for private reading. Brief and concise, concerned with the personal and the particular, the epigram emerged in the Hellenistic period as a sophisticated literary form that evinces the period's aesthetic preference for the miniature, the intricate, and the fragmented. Kathryn Gutzwiller offers the first full-length literary study of these important poems by studying the epigrams within the context of the poetry books in which they were originally collected. Drawing upon ancient sources as well as recent papyrological discoveries, Gutzwiller reconstructs the nature of Hellenistic epigram books and interprets individual poems as if they remained part of their original collections. This approach results in illuminating and original readings of many major poets, and demonstrates that individual epigrammatists were differentiated by gender, ethnicity, class status, and philosophical views. In an important final chapter, Gutzwiller reconstructs much of the poetic structure of Meleager's Garland, an ancient anthology of Hellenistic epigrams. 410 0$aHellenistic culture and society ;$v28. 410 0$aACLS Fellows' publications. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEpigrams, Greek$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBooks and reading$zMediterranean Region 606 $aLiterary form$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism$yTo 1500$zMediterranean Region 606 $aEpigrams, Greek$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBooks and reading$xHistory 606 $aLiterary form 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 615 0$aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEpigrams, Greek$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBooks and reading 615 0$aLiterary form$xHistory 615 0$aGreek poetry, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aEpigrams, Greek$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aLiterary form 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures 676 $a888/.0108 700 $aGutzwiller$b Kathryn J$0541182 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bNyNyACL 801 1$bNyNyACL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247981903316 996 $aPoetic garlands$9865728 997 $aUNISA
