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 .

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 .

Oxford University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Very faint bump to 1 corner else book is fine. DJ has light shelfwear.; The twenty-eight essays in this handbook represent the best current thinking in the study of Latin language and literature in the Middle Ages. Contributing authors--both senior scholars and gifted younger thinkers among them--not only illuminate the field as traditionally defined but also offer fresh insights into broader questions of literary history cultural interaction world literature and language in history and society. 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. At the same time they suggest future possibilities for the necessarily provisional and open-ended work essential to the pursuit of medieval Latin studies. The overall approach of The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Latin Literature makes this volume an essential resource for students of the ancient world interested in the prolonged after-life of the classical period's cultural complexes for medieval historians for scholars of other medieval literary traditions and for all those interested in delving more deeply into the fascinating more-than-millennium-long passage between the ancient Mediterranean world and what we consider modernity.; Oxford Handbooks; 672 pages . 0195394011 .

PHILODEMUS AND POETRY; Poetic Theory and Practice in Lucretius Philodemus and Horace
Oxford University Press. 1995. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is fine. DJ has minor shelfwear and 1 minor scratch.; This is an edited collection by a distinguished team of scholars on the philosopher and poet Philodemus of Gadara ca. 110-40 BC. The discovery of his library at Herculaneum and the editing and gradual publication of the material has reawakened interest in the philosophical and historical importance of his work. Philodemus presents us with a poetic theory of interest in itself and several of his treatises provide us with instances of how poetry was seen as providing moral paradigms and guidance. These essays explore the many facets of Philodemus's work and the relationship between them offering a critical survey of recent trends and developments in scholarship on Philodemus in particular and Hellenistic literary theory in general.; 336 pages . 0195088158 .

HORACE: ODES AND EPODES
Oxford University Press. 2009. Paperback. Very Good. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Light shelfwear. Minor creasing to spine and corners of a few pages.; This collection of recent articles provides convenient access to some of the best recent writing on Horace's Odes and Epodes. Formalist structuralist and historicizing approaches alike offer insight into this complex poet who reinvented lyric at the transition from the Republic to the Augustan principate. Several classic studies in French German and Italian are here translated into English for the first time. A thread linking many of the pieces is the recurring debate over the performance of Horace's Odes. Fiction Literal reality A figurative appropriation of Greek tradition within the bookish culture of late Hellenism Arguments both for and against gain a hearing. Michele Lowrie's introduction surveys the state of current scholarship and offers guidance on the seminal issues confronting the interpretation of Horatian lyric today. Suggestions for further reading and a consolidated bibliography open avenues for more extensive research.; Oxford Readings in Classical Studies; 560 pages . 0199207704 .
