Late Hellenistic and Early Byzantine Poetry of the 2nd – 6th Сenturies. A Literary History

<jats:p>The monograph is an attempt, unique not only for Russian, but also for world scholarship, to present systematically the history of Greek poetry in the period of transition from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, a period usually ignored or covered in fragments in traditional literature courses. The author follows the literary process of the 2nd – 6th centuries in its entirety; its striving and searching for forms and senses and its mechanisms of transmission between traditions that existed in vast, multinational and multilingual territories in ancient culture. The book is addressed to specialists in ancient and medieval literature, as well as to a wide range of readers interested in this period.</jats:p>
