- This substantial book (150, 000 words) by a major press is the product of more than ten years of research. It is the first study to investigate the process of lyric's canonisation in antiquity from the sixth till the third centuries BC, and is highly ambitious in analysing a broad range of literary, historical, and philosophical sources, which are also paired with evidence from material culture (e.g. vases and inscriptions). The book substantially shifts our understanding of how lyric evolved as a form, demonstrating that the canonizing process was already at work from the fifth century BC.
