Beskrivning
This analysis explores select aspects of the extant fragmentary record of early Roman poetry from its earliest accessible moments through roughly the first hundred and twenty years of its traceable existence. Key questions include how ancient readers made sense of the record as then available to them and how the limitations of their accounts, assumptions, and working methods continue to define the contours of our understanding today. Both using and challenging the standard conceptual frameworks operative in the ancient world, the discussion details what we think we know of the best documented forms, practitioners, contexts, and reception of Roman drama (excluding comedy), epic, and satire in their early instantiations, with occasional glances at the further generic experimentation that accompanied the genesis of literary practice at Rome.

"da questo punto di vista, il libro si raccomanda come introduzione rivolta non solo “to […] newer to or more distant from the material in question”, ma anche agli addetti ai lavori, che dalle pagine di Elliott potranno utilmente avere un aggiornato e ragionato stato dell’arte sulle innumerevoli questioni lì trattate. [...] E, in una mole così grande di dati, risulterà tanto più notevole la cura meticolosa con cui il testo è stato dato alle stampe: un ulteriore elemento che contribuisce a rendere il libro di Elliott un’utilissima e affidabile guida, e non solo per i principianti, nel difficile campo della poesia latina arcaica in frammenti."
