HELLENISTIC STUDIES AT A CROSSROADS GEBUNDEN

This volume is a collection of fifteen papers written by a team of international experts in the
field of Hellenistic literature. In an attempt to reassess methods such as the detection of
intertextual allusions or the general notion of neoteric poetics  the authors combine current
critical trends (narratology  genre-theory  aesthetics  cultural studies) with a close reading
of Hellenistic texts. Contributions address a wealth of topics in a variety of texts which
include not only poems by the major Alexandrians but also prose works  epigrams  epigraphic
material and scholia. Perspectives range from linguistic analysis to interdisciplinary studies
whereas post-classical literature is also seen against the background of the cultural and
ideological contexts of the era. Besides reviewing preconceptions of Hellenistic scholarship 
this volume aims at providing fresh insights into Hellenistic literature and aesthetics.
