The Idea of Iambos

Autor Andrea Rotstein
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2009
The Idea of Iambos is a long overdue study of the genre of Greek iambic poetry from the perspective provided by ancient testimonies. Andrea Rotstein places research on iambos in the framework of a new methodological approach to ancient genres based on the cognitive sciences, offering an unprecedented study of ancient theories of genres and the way they affected ancient scholarship. Rotstein also examines the possibility of musical performance of iambic poetry as well as the various occasions of public performance, particularly at musical contests and rhapsodic recitals. Finally, she argues that, from the Archaic to the Classical period, there was a shift from the notion of literary class depending primarily on rhythm and on its archetypical representative, Archilochus, towards iambos as a genre defined mainly by invective as its dominant feature.

Recenzii

In this volume on arguably the most ephemeral and juvenile poetry to survive from antiquity, Rostein has given us a mature and substantial study, one that is sure to become the standard reference on the ancient scholarly reception of Greek iambos.
A model for a complex and nuanced discussion of an ancient literary genre.
merits the attention of all those who have an interest in genre theory ... This book with its audacious hypotheses will certainly serve those readers well who are familiar with the complexity and nuances of modern scholarship on early iambos.
