How do poets working in related genres - particularly didactic - conceptualize their relationship to the main epic tradition? The eleven essays in this volume, by leading scholars in the field of Roman poetry and its post-Classical receptions, consider some of the strategies which writers from Lucretius onwards have employed in negotiating their relationship with their literary forebears, and staking out a place for their own work within a tradition stretching back to Hesiod and Homer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51310810824992,"sku":"NEW0954384563","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51LZLjAL0gL.jpg?v=1772835223","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/latin-epic-and-didactic-poetry-genre-tradition-and-individuality-0954384563","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
