A Selection. Idylls 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11 and 13. Edited by R. Hunter. - Theocritus
KORTE INHOUD
'This splendid volume offers text and commentary on eight of the Idylls of Theocritus. The introduction offers sections on Theocritus, bucolic poetry, the locus amoenus, metre, language, and transmission. The discussion of bucolic poetry and its terminolgy is particular useful. (...) The introductions to the individual poems are as suggestive as they are informative. (...) H.'s eye for allusion is one of the great strenghts of this commentary. (...) This is a stimulating and learned volume, which will do much to encourage all areas of Theocritean studies.' (BRUCE GIBSON in The Classical Review (New Series), 2001, pp.234-36).
