Carpe Diem: The Poetics of Presence in Greek and Latin Literature - Cambridge Classical Studies
Rohland, Robert A. (Trinity College, Cambridge)

This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary study reveals its significance in ancient poetry and art, especially in creating the almost magical impression that something is happening here and now.
