Musa Levis / Blanda Musa: concisión y sutileza como presupuesto poético elegíaco desde Calímaco al Renacimiento.

Abstract

The elegy as a genere was not systematized and raised in depth until the Renaissance essayists did. Nevertheless, it is possible to outline poetic notions that shape and pro ve the existence of a pre-poetics of the elegiac poetics, not only in technical treatises like Aristotle's, but also in those reflections about genere made by poets themselves -from Callimachus to Ovid-or in the definitive structure that the compositions of the elegiac corpora have. From such notions, the concepts of òλιγοσιτιίη and λεπτότης  give a special cohesion to the elegiac poetics -at theoretical level and in terms of composition­ from Hellenistic and Augustan ages to the original Renaissance creations.
