Studies in Ancient Literary Theory and Criticism. Essays edited by Jerzy Styka, Classica Cracoviensia V, Cracow 2000

The fifth volume of Classica Cracoviensia is devoted in its entirety to the ancient literary theory and criticism. The articles in this volume were presented at the International Conference on Ancient Literary Theory and Criticism organised by the Institute of Classical Philology of the Jagicellonian University, in co-operation with our academic partners abroad, and held in Cracow in October 1999 under the patronage of His Magnificence the Rector of the Jagiellonian University, Professor Franciszek Ziejka, as part of the cycle of events to celebrate the Sixth Centenary Jubilee of the Renewal of the University of Cracow by Queen Jadwiga of Anjou and her consort King Vladislaus Jagiello in 1400.

The papers in this volume of Classica Cracoviensia cover a wide range of subjects from the field of ancient poetics, rhetoric, and literary criticism. It opens with the essay by Alain Michel on the development of the concept of beauty in European literary culture, from Antiquity to the present times. Part One of the volume (Pars Graeca), contains a series of contributions concerning the theoretical issues of Greek poetry, artis?tic prose, and literary critricism from Homer to Heliodorus. They include the epic style, the development of concepts of the lyrical genres, Greek tragedy and comedy, mime, the rhetorical style, the emergence of new genres of artistic prose, the Greek romances, and the theory of aesthetic reception of literary works. Part Two (Pars Latina) presents papers on particular aspects of Latin literature, such as the language of comedy, the Roman theory of style, the development of Roman satire, and literary criticism in the wide sense of the term. Part Three (Varia) brings an interesting complement and conclusion to the volume...
