Description

Explore the evolution of wisdom and teaching in this scholarly collection from the Classical Press of Wales. Didactic Poetry of Greece, Rome and Beyond examines the long tradition of poetic texts descended from Hesiod. This volume addresses the historical absence of didacticism as a distinct category in ancient literary criticism by providing fresh academic perspectives. Readers can explore the development of the genre through a diachronic lens, mapping how these poems changed alongside shifting social and political landscapes from Homer and Hesiod to Neo-Latin works. The book also uses a comparative approach, placing the Graeco-Roman tradition within a much broader context. This collection is an essential resource for scholars studying the relationship between knowledge, power, and poetic tradition.
