Baraz Yelena
A WRITTEN REPUBLIC Cicero's Philosophical Politics
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Fine dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 0691153329 . Minor pencil notes by R. E. Fantham. Ffep has note from author : "a gift from Yelena: Nov. 9 2012". Else fine. ; In the 40s BCE during his forced retirement from politics under Caesar's dictatorship Cicero turned to philosophy producing a massive and important body of work. As he was acutely aware this was an unusual undertaking for a Roman statesman because Romans were often hostile to philosophy perceiving it as foreign and incompatible with fulfilling one's duty as a citizen. How then are we to understand Cicero's decision to pursue philosophy in the context of the political intellectual and cultural life of the late Roman republic In A Written Republic Yelena Baraz takes up this question and makes the case that philosophy for Cicero was not a retreat from politics but a continuation of politics by other means an alternative way of living a political life and serving the state under newly restricted conditions. Baraz examines the rhetorical battle that Cicero stages in his philosophical prefaces--a battle between the forces that would oppose or support his project. He presents his philosophy as intimately connected to the new political circumstances and his exclusion from politics. His goal--to benefit the state by providing new moral resources for the Roman elite--was traditional even if his method of translating Greek philosophical knowledge into Latin and combining Greek sources with Roman heritage was unorthodox. ; 9.1 X 6.4 X 1.0 inches; 272 pages .

Barchiesi Alessandro & Ilaria Marchesi & Matt Fox translated by & Philip Hardie Foreword
HOMERIC EFFECTS IN VERGIL'S NARRATIVE
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2015. Hardcover. 069116181X . Publisher's stamp to base of textblock. Else book is fine. Very faint scuffing to DJ. Else fine. ; The study of Homeric imitations in Vergil has one of the longest traditions in Western culture starting from the very moment the Aeneid was circulated. Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative is the first English translation of one of the most important and influential modern studies in this tradition. In this revised and expanded edition Alessandro Barchiesi advances innovative approaches even as he recuperates significant earlier interpretations from Servius to G. N. Knauer. Approaching Homeric allusions in the Aeneid as "narrative effects" rather than glimpses of the creative mind of the author at work Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative demonstrates how these allusions generate hesitations and questions as well as insights and guidance and how they participate in the creation of narrative meaning. The book also examines how layers of competing interpretations in Homer are relevant to the Aeneid revealing again the richness of the Homeric tradition as a component of meaning in the Aeneid. Finally Homeric Effects in Vergil's Narrative goes beyond previous studies of the Aeneid by distinguishing between two forms of Homeric intertextuality: reusing a text as an individual model or as a generic matrix. For this edition a new chapter has been added and in a new afterword the author puts the book in the context of changes in the study of Latin literature and intertextuality. ; 216 pages .

Barchiesi Alessandro
THE POET AND THE PRINCE Ovid and Augustan Discourse
University of California Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0520202236 . Former owner's blindstamp on ffep. Else book is fine. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear. ; Joan Palevsky Classical Literature Book; 1.01 x 9.29 x 6.26 Inches; 285 pages; In this fresh assessment of Ovid's fascinating poem Fasti Alessandro Barchiesi provides a new vision of the interaction between Ovid and the renowned ruler Augustus. Fasti a poem about the holidays and feast days of the Roman calendar was written while Ovid was in Rome and revised while he was in exile on the barbarian frontier banished by Augustus from the cultured society of Rome. Ovid's work in exile evinces complicated motives; he addresses Augustus and begs him to lift the despised exile but at the same time covertly critiques Augustus's "New Rome. " Although recent scholarship has concentrated on the oppositions between poet and ruler revealed in Ovid's work Barchiesi's analysis transcends the opposition of pro-Augustan or anti-Augustan readings. In a lively vigorous narrative that relies on close textual analysis Barchiesi underscores the important poetic choices as well as the political considerations made by Ovid in Fasti. Ultimately his analysis leads us to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between patrons and poets. Both scholars and general readers will find a newly meaningful and interesting Ovid in these pages. Translated with revisions from Il poeta e il principe: Ovido e il discorso Augusteo 1994. .
