But perhaps more significantly, we can become aware of how our perceptions of poetry by the ancient Greeks and Romans have likely been shaped by the different forms that poetry took in subsequent centuries... it should also encourage us to approach any poetry belonging to antiquity as part of a broader cultural activity than is often acknowledged. * Emily Patterson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review * It is bracing to follow a prominent senior scholar in his exploration of so many centuriesDLmillennia encountered not with any ex cathedra jadedness but with open enthusiasm that should immediately engage readers at every academic level. * Stephen Hinds, University of Washington, Modern Language Quarterly * Attridge's exploration is detailed and extensive as he considers how the demands of social norms and the changes in production technologies influenced the ways in which poetry might be experienced by readers and listeners. In turn, the volume will be of interest to those studying any of the time frames that it discusses as well as those interested in questions regarding the reception and transmission of literature. * John S.
