Questioni neoteriche. - CASTORINA, E.,
KORTE INHOUD
'Castorina's assumption that 'neoterism was an absolute is a fundamental defect of method. Such labels impede investigation and understanding by encouraging the reading of the texts from a single preconceived standpoint. 'Neoterism' is indeed a modern invention; strictly interprted the ancient sources support the existence neither of the name nor of the sort (...). Some parts of the book are considerably better than this. The chapter on Catullus makes agreeable enough reading (...). The last chapter assembles useful data for the history of 'carmina figurata' and such-like technical extravaganzas.' (E.J. KENNEY in The Classical Review (New Series), 1970, pp.51-52). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux.
