Creative Imitation and Latin Literature
David West
The writers of Greece and Rome regularly imitated and alluded to the great authors of the past. Such imitations were not considered plagiarism, but as essential to the creation of a new work. Here the contributors analyse selected passages of Greek, Latin and English authors and illustrate how they created new works of art by imitating earlier passages.
