Description 1 online resource (290 pages) Contents pt. 1. The miniature epic in Vandal Africa and the heritage of a 'non-genre' -- pt. 2. The elegy without love : Maximianus and his opus -- pt. 3. The Roman epigram in the Romano-Barbaric world Summary A reader of the epyllion by Dracontius, the elegy by Maximianus, and the epigram by Luxorius should not expect that these works - and these new embodiments of the 'old' genres - will be wholly identical with their 'archetypes'. Were it so, it would mean that we read but second-rate versifiers, indeed. ... We may expect rather that thanks to the reading of Dracontius's epyllion, Maximianus's elegy, and Luxorius's epigram our understanding of these very genres may become fuller and deeper than if it was narrowed only to the study of the 'classical phase' of the Roman literature Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-288) and index Notes Print version record Subject Dracontius, Blossius Aemilius, active 5th century -- History and criticism Maximianus, active 6th century -- Criticism and interpretation Luxorius, active 6th century -- Criticism and interpretation Dracontius, Blossius Aemilius, active 5th century.
