Description

Light shelfwear to book. Minor bumping to upper corners. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Dustjacket spine is sunned and discolored. ; 0.96 x 9.54 x 6.43 Inches; 254 pages; In a close and sensitive reading of Sappho, Catullus, and Juvenal, Jenkyns delineates the uniqueness of the poet's individual voice in relation to poetic traditions. His book constitutes a challenge to the view that one method will suffice for the interpretation of ancient poetry. He seeks to demonstrate that we can have no substitute for flexible and humane judgment, liberated from critical dogma, if we are to understand the great writers of the past.
