It does so in an attempt to disprove claims that Dillingham's talent lay in criticism rather than in original composition, and that his Latin verse shows his complete independence of the old school of classical imitation. This study highlights both the classical and the contemporary intertexts with which this hitherto neglected poetry engages. This highly talented verse \"sports\" with the classics in several ways: first in its self-consciously interaction with the Latin poets Virgil and Ovid; second in its appropriation of a classical world and its linguistic medium to describe such 17th-cent. sports or pastimes as bowling, horticulture, and bell-ringing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Estelle Haan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1606180010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606180013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 273","brand":"Estelle Haan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485650432255,"sku":"9781606180013","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65df6b22-bec0-4ea1-b074-a12ac62a680b.jpg?v=1778050645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sporting-with-the-classics-estelle-haan-9781606180013","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
