Redeeming the Text: Latin Poetry and the Hermeneutics of Reception (Roman Literature and its Contexts)

This book applies some of the procedures of modern critical theory to the interpretation of Latin poetry. The author argues for an approach which sees the meaning of a text as always and necessarily involved in the process of 'reception', that is the way it has been read and interpreted from the time of its composition down to the present day.Charles Martindale is the author of 'Redeeming the Text: Latin Poetry and the Hermeneutics of Reception (Roman Literature and its Contexts)', published 1993 under ISBN 9780521417174 and ISBN 0521417171.
