Sonst gut und sauber. - It is difficult, if not impossible, for the modern student ot Greek poetry to understand immediately the structural nuances, poetic intent, and literary allusions of poets writing in ancient Greek. The ways in which a contemporary audience responded to the poetry depended on an understanding of their own language that the modern reader cannot hope to have. In this careful and original study of formal structure and poetic composition in early Greek elegies, A. W. H. Adkins supplies at least some of the tools of interpretation available to the ancient Greek and so reconstructs, for the modern reader, the sensibilities of the original audience. Whereas other studies of elegiac verse have treated the poems as historical documents or as indications of early Greek ethical thought, this work is sensitive to the subtlety and poetic craft inherent in the poems themselves. Using examples from the work of eight elegists Archilochus. Callinus. Tyrtaeus, Mimnermus. I heognis," Solon. Simonides, and Xenophanes Adkins analyzes the uses of caesurae, other pauses, word choice and order, and meter in the elegies. Allusions to Homer, labeled by many commentaries as "epic borrowings," are examined, and Adkins discusses why the borrowings were made and to what poetic purpose. Recognizing that the elegies were composed to be heard in performance. Adkins points out and clarifies the subtle variations in meter that Greek audiences of the day would have been able to hear and understand immediately. Poetic Craft offers a technical analysis of the Greek elegy. but additionally it is a study of poetic composition and content, of the effect that departures from the accepted form (in meter or word choice, for example) have on poetic meaning. Adkins reveals not just the structural constraints but also the opportunities that were available in the elegiac form. For any serious student of poetry, this book is essential for the insights it offers into the poetic sensibilities of the Greek elegists. Moving beyond discussions of the rhetorical use of Greek elegy. Poetic Craft in the Early Greek Elegists is a technical but highly rewarding work that studies the poetry for its own sake.
