The Epigrammatists is a book that contains a selection of epigrams from ancient, medieval, and modern times. Epigrams are short and witty poems that often make a satirical or humorous point. The book is edited by Henry Philip Dodd, who has carefully chosen the best examples of this type of literature from throughout history. The collection includes works by famous writers such as Martial, Ovid, and Catullus from ancient Rome, as well as medieval European writers like John Donne and Robert Herrick. It also includes examples from modern writers such as Oscar Wilde and Dorothy Parker. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of epigrammatic literature and demonstrates how this form of poetry has evolved over time. The Epigrammatists is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, poetry, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
