Description
Summary:What is distinctive about Greek lyric poetry? How should we conceptualize it in relation to broader categories such as literature/song/music/rhetoric/history? What critical tools might we use to analyse it? How do we, should we, can we relate to its intensities of expression, its modes of address, its uses of myth and imagery, its attitudes to materiality, its sense of its own time, and its contextualizations? These are questions that this discussion seeks to investigate, exploring and analysing a range of influential methodologies that have shaped the recent history of the field.
