Beskrivning
This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career - Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns is examined, from Dante to Wordsworth, and including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden and Goethe. These chapters pose the question of the continuing relevance of ancient career models as ideas of authorship change over the centuries, leading to varying engagements and disengagements with classical literary careers. The volume also considers other ways of concluding or extending a literary career, such as bookburning and figurative metempsychosis.

Recensioner i media

'… one of the best features of the collection is the editors' decision to extend the chronological focus … This collection is especially interesting as, in addition to the chapters on Latin poetry, there are substantial discussions of Dante, Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden, Goethe, and Wordsworth.' Stephen Guy-Bray, Comparative Literature Studies
