elegiac Explanation: Elegiac poetry describes a genre, which doesn't comprise prose as far as I know. The term derives from elegy but I haven't researched to what extent that is related to eulogy or éloge. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2017-06-27 08:25:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm not aware that "elegiac" standing alone can be the name of a genre. |
