Rossi, Andreola
CONTEXTS OF WAR; Manipulation of Genre in Virgilian Battle Narrative
University of Michigan Press. 2003. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book has very light shelfwear. DJ spine a bit sunned.; Moving beyond the usual pairing of Homer and Virgil Iliad and Aeneid Rossi refutes the notion that Homer is the only code model for the latter. This in-depth study reveals that Virgilian battle narrative assimilates conventions of other literary genres namely historiography and indirectly tragedy. Rossi demonstrates how Virgilian war narrative allows multiple and diachronic visions of reality and hence multiple systems of signification to co-exist in the text. In this way Virgil's Aeneid detaches itself from the Homeric epic and forcefully asserts its own relative modernity.; 236 pages . 0472113593 . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Rosenmeyer, Thomas G
SENECAN DRAMA AND STOIC COSMOLOGY
University of California Press. 1989. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Upper corner lightly bumped. Minor shelfwear. Minor creasing and shelfwear to DJ.; Lucius Annaeus Seneca Nero's tutor and advisor wrote philosophical essays some of them in the form of letters and dramas on Greek mythological topics which since the early Renaissance have exercised a powerful influence on the European theater. Because in his essays Seneca in his own eclectic way subscribes to the philosophy of the Stoic school scholars and critics have long been asking the question whether the plays also could be regarded as transmitters of Stoic thought. Various answers ranging from a categorical no to an uneasy yes have been given. With few exceptions the students who have concerned themselves with this question have looked for their enlightenment in Stoic psychology and Stoic ethics. In this book Thomas G. Rosenmeyer proposes instead to look at the Stoic science of nature of the world and human beings in the world as a more plausible grounding for the difference between Senecan drama and its Greek predecessors. In the process of looking at what the Stoics especially the early Stoics had to say about the forces determining natural phenomena the author uncovers a deeply pessimistic strain in Stoic cosmology and an interest in physicality and environmental tension that he finds replicated in the theater not only of Seneca but also of the later European tradition indebted to him.; 248 pages . 0520064453 .

Wallace-Hadrill, Andrew
HOUSES AND SOCIETY IN POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM
Princeton University Press. 1994. Hardcover. Good in Very Good- dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Underlining in pen to pages. Small stain to top of front panel of DJ. A few scratches to back panel of DJ .; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private family and outsiders work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor man and woman master and slave What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman."; 244 pages . 0691069875 .

Segal, Charles
LUCRETIUS ON DEATH AND ANXIETY; Poetry and Philosophy in De Rerum Natura
Princeton University Press. 1990. Hardcover. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is fine. DJ has very faint shelfwear.; In a fresh interpretation of Lucretius's On the Nature of Things Charles Segal reveals this great poetical account of Epicurean philosophy as an important and profound document for the history of Western attitudes toward death. He shows that this poem aimed at promoting spiritual tranquillity confronts two anxieties about death not addressed in Epicurus's abstract treatment--the fear of the process of dying and the fear of nothingness. Lucretius Segal argues deals more specifically with the body in dying because he draws on the Roman concern with corporeality as well as on the rich traditions of epic and tragic poetry on mortality.; Princeton Legacy Library; 291 pages . 0691068267 .

Their studies vividly illustrate the field's complexities on a wide range of topics including canonicity literary styles and genres and the materiality of manuscript culture.
