Harris, William V
RESTRAINING RAGE; The Ideology of Anger Control in Classical Antiquity
Harvard University Press. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Very faint bump to 1 corner else book is fine. DJ has light edgewear with a bit of creasing.; The angry emotions and the problems they presented were an ancient Greek preoccupation from Homer to late antiquity. From the first lines of the Iliad to the church fathers of the fourth century A. D. the control or elimination of rage was an obsessive concern. From the Greek world it passed to the Romans. Drawing on a wide range of ancient texts and on recent work in anthropology and psychology Restraining Rage explains the rise and persistence of this concern. W. V. Harris shows that the discourse of anger-control was of crucial importance in several different spheres in politics--both republican and monarchical--in the family and in the slave economy. He suggests that it played a special role in maintaining male domination over women. He explores the working out of these themes in Attic tragedy in the great Greek historians in Aristotle and the Hellenistic philosophers and in many other kinds of texts. From the time of Plato onward educated Greeks developed a strong conscious interest in their own psychic health. Emotional control was part of this. Harris offers a new theory to explain this interest and a history of the anger-therapy that derived from it. He ends by suggesting some contemporary lessons that can be drawn from the Greek and Roman experience.; 480 pages . 0674006186 . Harvard University Press hardcover

Large tear to DJ repaired with cellotape with a few tears with some loss.; Cambridge Classical Studies; 200 pages; Although Ovid is currently enjoying a new wave of popularity most critics withhold from his poetry the close word-by-word readings that are necessary for a thorough understanding of it. Ovid twice treated the myth of Persephone and Hinds's book is at first a historical inquiry--the most extensive yet done--into the double transformation in Metamorphosis 5 and Fasti 4 of the rape of Persephone one of the great Graeco-Roman myths. The study continues as a critical exploration of Ovid's self-conscious delight in language and in writing manifested in these twin narratives providing a feast for students of both Latin poetry and narratives in general. . 052133506X .

Habinek, Thomas N
THE POLITICS OF LATIN LITERATURE; Writing Identity and Empire in Ancient Rome
Princeton University Press. 1998. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. From the library of R. E. Fantham. Pen notes to 1 pages. A few pages with pencil and underlining. Light rubbing and faint soiling to DJ.; This is the first book to describe the intimate relationship between Latin literature and the politics of ancient Rome. Until now most scholars have viewed classical Latin literature as a product of aesthetic concerns. Thomas Habinek shows however that literature was also a cultural practice that emerged from and intervened in the political and social struggles at the heart of the Roman world. Habinek considers major works by such authors as Cato Cicero Horace Ovid and Seneca. He shows that from its beginnings in the late third century b. C. To its eclipse by Christian literature six hundred years later classical literature served the evolving interests of Roman and more particularly aristocratic power. It fostered a prestige dialect for example; it appropriated the cultural resources of dominated and colonized communities; and it helped to defuse potentially explosive challenges to prevailing values and authority. Literature also drew upon and enhanced other forms of social authority such as patriarchy religious ritual cultural identity and the aristocratic procedure of self-scrutiny or existimatio. Habinek's analysis of the relationship between language and power in classical Rome breaks from the long Romantic tradition of viewing Roman authors as world-weary figures aloof from mundane political concerns--a view he shows that usually reflects how scholars have seen themselves. The Politics of Latin Literature will stimulate new interest in the historical context of Latin literature and help to integrate classical studies into ongoing debates about the sociology of writing.; 248 pages . 0691068275 .

APULEIUS; A Latin Sophist
Oxford University Press. 2000. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Bottom corner is very lightly bumped. Else very light shelfwear to book. Scholar's name to DJ flap R. E. Fantham. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 281 pages; This book is a response to the literary pleasures and scholarly problems of reading the texts of Apuleius most famous for his novel Metamorphoses or Golden Ass. Living in second-century North Africa Apuleius was more than an author of fiction; he was a consummate orator and professional intellectual Platonist philosopher extraordinary stylist relentless self-promoter and versatile author of a remarkably diverse body of work much of which is lost to us. This book is written for those able to read Apuleius in Latin and Apuleian works are accordingly quoted without translation although where they exist suitable translations have been indicated. In this book Dr Harrison has provided a literary handbook to all the works of Apuleius as well as the Metamorphoses and has set his works against their intellectual background: not only Apuleius' career as a performing intellectual a sophist in second-century Roman North Africa but also the larger contemporary framework of the Greek Second Sophistic. While focusing primarily on the texts as literature and literary-historical the book also deals with Apuleius' works of didactic philosophy and his consequent connection with Middle Platonism. . 0198140533 .

ROMAN EPIC
Routledge. 1993. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. Very minor shelfwear to book. Small chips to top of spine. DJ has creasing and 1 tear repaired with clear tape along upper edge.; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 340 pages; Roman epic lays firm claim to being Western civilization's prime literary form. Roman Epic draws together 14 critically and methodologically distinct essays focusing on particular epicists their reaction to influence on and rewriting of each other. The book examines the formation and transformation of Roman epic from its beginnings in the third century B. C. Saturnian poets Livius and Naevius to the Renaissance Latin epic of Petrarch and Vida. What results is the revelation of Roman epic not only as Rome's highest poetic genre but as a self-consciously intertextual primarily political form. The Roman epicist's creative exploitation of his predecessors is not restricted to stylistic similarities and generic codes but often encompasses more important levels of social moral and political meaning. In the Roman tradition the epic form shows an impetus to reform the celebratory values implicit in the form itself admitting a plurality of interactive often critical narrative voices. This book reveals how the epic developed and critically considers the generic and literary tradition to which the texts belong. It demonstrates epic's critical significance for the foundational culture of the Western world. . 0415042305 . Routledge hardcover

THE STAGECRAFT AND PERFORMANCE OF ROMAN COMEDY
Cambridge University Press. 2006. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Very light bump to 1 corner. DJ has minor shelfwear. Scholar's small bookplate to ffep R. E. Fantham.; A comprehensive survey of Roman theatrical production this book examines all aspects of Roman performance practice and provides fresh insights on the comedies of Plautus and Terence. Following an introductory chapter on the experience of Roman comedy from the perspective of Roman actors and the Roman audience addressing among other things the economic concerns of putting on a play in the Roman republic subsequent chapters provide detailed studies of troupe size and the implications for role assignment masks stage action music and improvisation in the plays of Plautus and Terence. Marshall argues that Roman comedy was raw comedy much more rough-and-ready than its Hellenistic precursors but still fully conscious of its literary past. The consequences of this lead to fresh conclusions concerning the dramatic structure of Roman comedy and a clearer understanding of the relationship between the plays-as-text and the role of improvisation during performance.; 336 pages . 0521861616 .

THE ANNALS OF QUINTUS ENNIUS AND THE ITALIC TRADITION
Johns Hopkins University Press. 2014. Hardcover. Near Fine. Very faint rubbing to boards else fine.; Quintus Ennius often considered the father of Roman poetry is best remembered for his epic poem the Annals a history of Rome from Aeneas until his own lifetime. Ennius represents an important bridge between Homer’s works in Greek and Vergil’s Aeneid. Jay Fisher argues that Ennius does not simply translate Homeric models into Latin but blends Greek poetic models with Italic diction to produce a poetic hybrid. Fisher's investigation uncovers a poem that blends foreign and familiar cultural elements in order to generate layers of meaning for his Roman audience. Fisher combines modern linguistic methodologies with traditional philology to uncover the influence of the language of Roman ritual kinship and military culture on the Annals. Moreover because these customs are themselves hybrids of earlier Roman Etruscan and Greek cultural practices not to mention the customs of speakers of lesser-known languages such as Oscan and Umbrian the echoes of cultural interactions generate layers of meaning for Ennius his ancient audience and the modern readers of the fragments of the Annals.; 224 pages . 1421411296 .

Pacuvius als 'summus tragicus poeta' und auch nach anderen Zeugnissen scheint er ein bekannter und beliebter Dramatiker gewesen zu sein. Aufgrund dieses Befundes wird in der vorliegenden Studie der bisher noch nicht untersuchten Fragen nach den Gründen für eine solche Wertschätzung nachgegangen. Mit einem dem fragmentarischen Erhaltungszustand von Pacuvius' dramatischen Werken angepassten Ansatz wird versucht präzisere Vorstellungen und Charakteristika der Tragödien zu gewinnen. Eine systematisierende Analyse von häufigeren Motiven und Handlungsstrukturen kann Indizien für eine Gestaltung geben die als typisch für Pacuvius anzusehen ist und so eine tendenzielle Bestimmung des Profils seiner Tragödien ermöglichen. Damit will die Untersuchung zu einem differenzierten Bild von Pacuvius' Dramen sowie der republikanischen Tragödie insgesamt beitragen.; Beiträge Zur Altertumskunde 191; 189 pages; Signed by Author . 3598778031 .

Ganiban, Randall T
STATIUS AND VIRGIL; The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid
Cambridge University Press. 2007. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Gift inscription to ffep from author. Else book is fine. Minor shelfwear to DJ.; At the end of the Thebaid Statius enjoins his epic 'not to compete with the divine Aeneid but rather to follow at a distance and always revere its footprints'. The nature of the Thebaid's interaction with the Aeneid is however a matter of debate. This 2007 book argues that the Thebaid reworks themes scenes and ideas from Virgil in order to show that the Aeneid's representation of monarchy is inadequate. It also demonstrates how the Thebaid's fascination with horror spectacle and unspeakable violence is tied to Statius' critique of the moral and political virtues at the heart of the Aeneid. Professor Ganiban offers both a way to interpret the Thebaid and a largely sequential reading of the poem.; 270 pages . 0521840392 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

This book is a guide to reading Cicero and a companion to anyone who is prepared to take the long but rewarding journey through his works.

NOVUS UNDE FUROR; Una Lettura Del Dodicesimo Libro Della Tebaide Di Stazio
Fabrizio Serra Editore. 2012. Softcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Very light shelfwear to book and DJ.; Il ritorno dell'interesse sul poeta Publio Papinio Stazio che negli anni di Domiziano indirizzò la sua maggiore opera all'epos tragico tebano La Tebaide che racconta della lotta fratricida tra Eteocle e Polinice per la successione al trono di Tebe trova molteplici spiegazioni negli studi che si sono sviluppati sull'onda di un rinnovato interesse per la letteratura dell'età flavia. La Tebaide è stata negli ultimi decenni oggetto di un ricco dibattito focalizzato sulla complessità ideologica e letteraria dell'opera. Sull'onda degli studi sulla lingua inquieta del racconto epico la scelta dell'autore è stata quella di analizzare gli 819 versi che costituiscono il dodicesimo e ultimo libro. Esso propone infatti la riapertura inaspettata di un conflitto che sembrava risolto e che si dirama in numerose trame del racconto. La tensione è tra Eteocle e Polinice; tra due stirpi quella argiva e quella tebana; tra il 'maschile' e il 'femminile'; tra Creonte e Teseo; tra la pace e la guerra; tra il furor e l'armonia dell'equilibrio tra il pianto del luctus e la gioia sfrenata che sembrano coesistere con sinistri accenti di inquietudine negli ultimi versi della narrazione. La lingua si fa specchio e cassa di risonanza di una polisemia e di polarità non risolte: attraverso gli strumenti retorici della negazione dell'enallage dell'uso allusivo di alcuni lessemi Stazio veicola un potenziale di ambiguità stilistica che riflette il disordine di un cosmo non pacificato. La prospettiva filologica sulla quale è basato questo lavoro rivendica alla lingua un livello di sapere profondo che permea insieme l'ideologia la costruzione dei personaggi la trama delle ricche relazioni intratestuali e intertestuali. La lettura di questo 'canto' della Tebaide interessa quindi intimamente il senso ultimo dell'epos tutto contribuendo alla formazione di ipotesi sulla sua struttura sulla sua composizione e sul suo messaggio di fondo.; Altera 2; 194 pages . 8862274521 .

VIRGIL ON THE NATURE OF THINGS; The Georgics Lucretius and the Didactic Tradition
Cambridge University Press. 2000. Hardcover. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ has tiny puncture hole to front panel and creasing to top of DJ spine.; Virgil's agricultural poem the Georgics forms part of a long tradition of didactic epic going back to the archaic poet Hesiod. This book explores the relationship between the Georgics and earlier works in the didactic tradition particularly Lucretius' De Rerum Natura "On the Nature of Things". It is the first comprehensive study of Virgil's use of Lucretian themes imagery ideas and language; it also proposes a new reading of the poem as a whole as a confrontation between the Epicurean philosophy of Lucretius and the opposing world views of his predecessors.; 336 pages . 0521781116 .

Citroni, Mario (A Cura Di) & (Emanuele Narducci)
LETTERATURA E CIVITAS. TRANSIZIONI DALLA REPUBBLICA ALL'IMPERO; In Ricordo Di Emanuele Narducci
Edizioni ETS. 2012. Softcover. Very Good. Light edgewear to wraps. Minor shelfwear. Else fine.; Il passaggio dalla Repubblica all'Impero continuamente si ripropone come questione cruciale negli studi su Roma antica e continuamente richiede rimeditazioni revisioni ritorni sia per l'arricchirsi della documentazione sia soprattutto per il continuo mutare delle prospettive da cui gli studiosi guardano a una fase della storia che tanto intensamente li sollecita anche attraverso molteplici suggestioni derivate dall'esperienza del presente. I capitoli di questo libro scritti da specialisti di aspetti diversi della civiltà antica - letteratura filosofia storia diritto - si riconducono ciascuno su linee proprie a quel grande tema considerandolo prevalentemente sul piano della storia intellettuale: la diversità delle situazioni e I processi di transizione nelle istituzioni politiche giuridiche e sociali e nel costume sono osservati attraverso lo sguardo di autori antichi che esplicitamente ne parlano o che ne sono in vario modo condizionati nella loro opera. Il coinvolgimento dell'attività intellettuale e letteraria nella situazione della comunità - il nesso tra letteratura e civitas - è la prospettiva problematica su cui è organizzato il volume. Ed è la prospettiva dominante nelle ricerche di Emanuele Narducci l'insigne studioso della letteratura di Roma antica alla cui memoria quest'opera è dedicata.
