The Poems. By Jerry Clack. - MELEAGER,

KORTE INHOUD

'This elegant, but self-admittedly unpretentious, edition aims to render M.'s poetry accessible to undergraduates. (...) A consolidated bibliography seems the major omission. (...) What students (and tehir instructtors) may miss is general guidance on Hellenistic literature, on epigram as a genre, on its importance for Roman elegiac tradition. (...) The introduction is lucid, but dense. (...) There are things here that users will find frustratingly facile or subjective, others too terse and allusive. (...) But M. is a fascinating poet; C.'s presentation of him is useful, so far as it goes; and it is to be hoped that students and teachers may take up the challenge.' (JOHN H. BETTS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1994, pp.20-21). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux.
