Books by Paul Allen Miller

Miller offers a complete course on the Latin erotic elegists, helping to trace the genre's rise and fall, and to understand its relation to the changes that marked the collapse of the Roman republic and the founding of the empire.

Traces the organic development of the lyric form from archaic Greece to Augustan Rome. This text distinguishes between early Greek lyric, a largely oral phenomenon, and the more condensed personal poetry that we now think of as lyric.
