First published in the 1970s, this was a pioneering work in applying modern literary-critical conventions and terminology to further the comprehension of difficult passages in classical texts. Cairns (classical languages, Florida State U.) has updated her material to reflect current theory and interpretations and has expanded her commentary, but remains true to her intent, which is to clarify the antiquity and development of the genres and their classification, the originality in the use of topoi, and in the constructive principles of genre, including inversion, reaction, inclusion, and variations of speaker and addressee. She provides generous notes and indices. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
