Realism in Alexandrian Poetry: A Literature and its Audience. -  ZANKER, G.,

a literature and its audience

KORTE INHOUD

'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).
