Description: The Evolution of Greek Prose Style by Kenneth Dover, Sir Kenneth Dover Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Greek prose literature evolved much later than poetry, and rapidly became a sophisticated art-form. The book examines how this evolution progressed, from about 500 BC down to the time of Plato and Demosthenes. Stylistic choice is treated from the point of view of the relations between speaker and hearer and the balance between innovation and the hearers expectations. Publisher Description The transmission of literature in writing began in the Greek world with poetry; the publication of laws and regulations came later, and prose literature last, about 500 BC. This book examines the stages by which prose was turned into the sophisticated art-form practised in the fourth century BC, in particular by Plato and Demosthenes. An attempt is made to determine the linguistic conventions which can reasonably be attributed, on the analogy of other cultures, tounwritten narrative and oratory. The extent to which `content and `form can be separated is considered, and the stylistic choices which constitute form are treated as determining the relationship(e.g. of authority or familiarity) between creator and receiver and the balance sought by the creator between innovation and deference to the receivers expectations.
