Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket. 0521417171. Minor shelfwear. Light bump to 1 corner.; This book applies some of the procedures of modern critical theory to the interpretation of Latin poetry. The author argues for an approach that sees the meaning of a text as always and necessarily involved in the process of "reception, " that is the way it has been read and interpreted from the time of its composition down to the present day. A study of its reception-history facilitates novel and more profitable ways of reading. He illustrates his approach with exemplary readings of Virgil, Ovid, Horace and Lucan.; Roman Literature And Its Contexts; 8.1 X 5.3 X 0.6 inches; 135 pages.
