Examining the work of four particularly notable poets – Durs Grünbein, Thomas Kling, Barbara Köhler, and Raoul Schrott – this book illuminates how classical antiquity is presented anew in contemporary lyric poetry, and sheds light on the ideas that are connected to this rediscovery of the Greek and Roman past.
