👉 Elegizing is a term used in classical and medieval literature to describe a mode of speech that emphasizes clarity, elegance, and subtlety. It was often associated with the use of rhetorical devices such as alliteration, repetition, and metaphor to create a more poetic or expressive effect. Eleging writers often employed these techniques to convey complex ideas or emotions through their writing, aiming for a sense of intimacy and emotional connection with their readers.
