More radically than had any contemporary English author’s work, Thomas Gray’s two Pindaric odes of 1757, effectively challenged readers’ powers of comprehension, posing problems of reference as well as distinctly Pindaric problems of coherence. Solving those problems calls for knowledge not widely had then, now, or in between: knowledge of Gray’s largely unpublished and unstudied use of Plato and Locke, and particularly of logical and linguistic features–enthymemes, implicatures, and such–that Gray’s writing employs.
