The author argues for an approach that 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. A study of its reception-history facilitates novel and more profitable ways of reading. He illustrates his approach with exemplary readings of Virgil, Ovid, Horace and Lucan. 1262225 29 1 1993 Redeeming the Text: Latin Poetry and the Hermeneutics of Reception (Roman Literature and its Contexts) total:1|4:1| 1 4 2 0 1273270 0521427193 9780521427197 1 0 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182424447m/1273270.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1273270.Redeeming_the_Text_Latin_Poetry_and_the_Hermeneutics_of_Reception 0 0 false Sat Nov 03 07:39:17 -0700 2007 Sat Nov 03 07:39:23 -0700 2007 1273270 0521427193 9780521427197 1 0 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182424447m/1273270.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1273270.Redeeming_the_Text_Latin_Poetry_and_the_Hermeneutics_of_Reception 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 06 13:44:46 -0700 2007 Tue Jan 15 18:36:34 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1273270
