Davies Robertson
A Voice From the Attic
NY: Penguin Books 1990. Soft cover. Very Good. From the book ""An urbane robust and wonderfully opinionated voice from Canada sometimes called America's attic"" speaks here of the delights of reading and of what mass education has done to readers today to taste to books to culture. With his usual wit and breadth of vision Robertson Davies ranges through the world of letters--books renowned and obscure old and recent; English Irish Canadian and American writers both forgotten and fondly remembered. This volume unique in both format and quality contains the distilled reflections of a brilliant sensitive mind.Mr. Davies' somewhat trenchant often amusing always enlightening words are a classic illustration of the intellectual honesty and literacy excellence of which he speaks."" Soft cover in very good condition Text block clean and tight. Book has a very light stain on side text block. Revised Edition. Penguin Books paperback

GREEK INSECTS
Old price sticker to front inner cover. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; 208 pages; This authoritative study of Greek insects treats not only the obvious questions of their identity--in modern terms of species and genera--but also such topics as the etymologies (both formal and popular) of the various insect names, the folklore, religious and other signficant associations, and the differences in attitude shown toward them by the ancient and modern world. Patterned after two famous studies by D'Arcy Thompson--A Glossary of Greek Birds and A Glossary of Greek Fishes--this volume provides a meticulous survey of the topic, examining the ancient literature and the enormous secondary literature connected with it, as well as the most recent scientific findings. Like Thompson's glossaries, this work focuses primarily on evidence from literature and art, with later evidence brought in only when needed for a full understanding of the facts. Compiled by a classics scholar working with a zoologist, this glossary provides alphabetically-arranged entries on such common insects as the ant, the louse, the butterfly, the wasp, the bedbug, the cricket, and the praying mantis. The first comprehensive study on this subject, Greek Insects belongs on the bookshelf of every Greek scholar, and it will be of considerable interest to educated readers.

POLYHYMNIA The Rhetoric of Horation Lyric Discourse
University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520070771 . Very Minor shelfwear to book. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. DJ has minor edgewear with light creasing. Spine a bit sunned. ; Horace's Odes have a surface translucency that belies their rhetorical sophistication. Gregson Davis brings together recent trends in the study of Augustan poetry and critical theory and deftly applies them to individual poems. Exploring four rhetorical strategies--what he calls modes of assimilation authentication consolation and praise and dispraise--Davis produces enlightening new interpretations of this classic work. Polyhymnia named after one of the Muses invoked in Horace's opening poem revises the common image of Horace as a complacent uncomplicated and basically superficial singer. Focusing on the artistic persona--the lyric "self" that is constituted in the text--Davis explores how the lyric speaker constructs subtle "arguments" whose building-blocks are topoi recurrent motifs and generic conventions. By examining the substructure of lyric argument in groupings of poems sharing similar strategies the author discloses the major principles that inform Horatian lyric composition. ; 293 pages .

One Virgin Too Many
London: Century 1999 Set in Vespasian's Rome. yet another adventure involving the detecting skills of Marcus Didius Falco and Helena "A frightened child approaches Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco pleading for help. Nobody believes Gaia"s story that a relation wants to kill her - and neither does he. Beset by his own family troubles by his new responsibilities as Procurator of the Sacred Poultry and by the continuing search for a new partner he turns her away. Immediately he regrets it. Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate - closely watched by Titus Caesar whose new ladylove Berenice is under suspicion from scandalmongers and by his two ex-partners Petronius and Anacrites who both have personal reasons to hope he will slip up. Aelianus the resentful brother of Falco"s girlfriend Helena is also aiming to join the establishment. In the Sacred Grove of the Arval Brothers Aelianus stumbles on a gruesome corpse which then disappears. He too asks Falco for advice and as their delicate enquiries proceed among Rome"s most ancient and influential cults it becomes clear that the murder its obvious cover-up and the fate of the missing child may all be mysteriously linked. Finding Gaia is then a race against time ending in Falco"s most terrifying exploit yet. ". 1st UK Ed. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Century hardcover
