This is the first study of Pindars language that applies performance as a method for the ethnographic description and interpretation of entextualized records of verbal art. In Mikhail Bakhtins terms, Pindars Verbal Art is a sociological stylistics of epinician language and demonstrates that Pindars is a highly dialogical form of art, an intertextual web of voices, whose study enables us to appreciate popular dimensions of his songs. Wells offers a new take on recurrent Pindaric questions: genre, the unity of the victory song, tradition, and, principally, epinician performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959555948832,"sku":"NEW0674036271","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pindars-verbal-art-an-ethnographic-study-of-epinician-style-hellenic-studies-series-0674036271","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
