Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2013. Hardcover. 0199670560 . Underlining in pencil to some pages. ; What significance does the voice or projected persona in which a text is written have for our understanding of the meaning of that text This volume explores the persona of the author in antiquity from Homer to late antiquity taking into account both Latin and Greek authors from a range of disciplines. The thirteen chapters are divided into two main sections the first of which focuses on the diverse forms of writing adopted by various ancient authors and the different ways these forms were used to present and project an authorial voice. The second part of the volume considers questions regarding authority and ascription in relation to the authorial voice. In particular it looks at how later readers - and later authors - may understand the authority of a text's author or supposed author. The volume contains chapters on pseudo-epigraphy and fictional letters as well as the use of texts as authoritative in philosophical schools and the ancient ascription of authorship to works of art. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 440 pages .

ARISTOPHANES AND & WOMEN
Routledge. Good in Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 041509514X . Underlining in pencil and pen to a few pages. DJ is laminated. ; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 256 pages; Working from the combined perspective of feminist literary theory and performance theory Lauren Taaffe takes an unprecedented look at the representation of women in the plays of Aristophanes. Her analysis of the relationship between ancient and contemporary theatrical representation and gender identity brings a new critical perspective to Aristophanic studies. Taaffe discusses the portrayal of women in all of Aristophanes' extant plays but focuses on Lysistrata Thesmophoriazusae and Ecclesiazusae. Her main contention is that Aristophanes' representation of women draws upon the ancient Greek construction of femininity as being inherently artificial and deceptive--a construction of femininity that is directly related to the convention of male actors playing female roles. .

E. J. Brill. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 9004099263 . Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; This work contains material to supplement volume one of the author's "Loeb Euripides". It consists of two parts: Testimonia Vitae et Artis Selecta and Textual Discussions. The Testimonia ancient notes about the life of Euripides and his career as a tragic poet are printed together with a facing English translation. The Loeb introduction examines this material critically. Equipped with this body of evidence students of Greek tragedy and of ancient biography will be able to assess for themselves the reliability of the biographical tradition in which the author argues too much confidence has been placed by interpreters of plays. The Textual Discussions explain places in the plays of volume one "Cyclops" "Alcestis" and "Medea" where the text adopted by the editor calls for comment. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 181 pages .

He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

Underlining in pencil to a couple of pages. ; Mnemosyne Supplements 314; 580 pages; This volume is arguably one of the most important studies of Euripides to appear in the last decade. Not only does it offer incisive examinations of many of Euripides' extant plays and their influence it also includes seminal examinations of a number of Euripides fragmentary plays. This approach represents a novel and exciting development in Euripidean studies since it is only very recently that the fragmentary plays have begun to appear in reliable and readily accessible editions. The books thirty-two contributors constitute an international 'whos who' of Euripidean studies and Athenian drama and their contributions will certainly feature in the forefront of scholarly discourse on Euripides and Greek drama for years to come. .

Part two offers a reassessment of Solon's laws based on a revision of the textual tradition and recent views on early Greek lawgiving. In part three fresh scrutiny of the archeological and written evidence of archaic Greece results in new perspectives on the agricultural crisis and Solon's role in the social and political developments of sixth-century Athens. .

Dubois, Page
OUT OF ATHENS The New Ancient Greeks
Harvard University Press. Good. 2010. Softcover. 0674064070 . Ex-library copy with removed markings. Stiffened wraps. ; The iconoclast of Classics Page duBois refuses to act as border patrol for a sometimes fiercely protected traditional discipline. Instead she incorporates insights from postcolonial psychoanalytic and postmodern theories into her nuanced close readings of ancient Greek texts. Contemporary theory and ancient texts are mutually transformed in the process. Out of Athens sets ancient Greek culture next to the global ancient world of Vedic India the Han dynasty in China and the empires that survived Alexander the Great. DuBois also extends the range of classical studies through illuminating transhistorical juxtapositions Ancients brush elbows with Colette as she performs as a mummy at the Moulin Rouge or with Kirk Douglas as he appears on the silver screen as Spartacus. She reads the poetry of Sappho the tattooed body of the sage Epimenides as well as Athenian tragedy Buddhist texts set in a post-Alexandrian Bactria alongside the work of Judith Butler and Alain Badiou. Page duBois establishes a daring agenda for the next generation of Classicists and for both the intimate friend of Greek texts and the freshly arrived reader makes ancient Greeks new. ; 256 pages .

Garland, Robert
SURVIVING GREEK TRAGEDY
Duckworth Publishers. Near Fine. 2004. Softcover. 0715631233 . Underlining in pencil to a few pages. ; "Surviving Greek Tragedy" is a history of the physical survival to the present day of the thirty-two extant tragedies of Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides. Beginning with the first revival of the plays in the fourth century BC it charts the course of their transmission down the centuries as they passed through the hands of actors readers scholars schoolteachers monks publishers translators theatre directors and so on. Over the course of this 2400-year period the plays were at different times performed copied quoted emended excerpted analysed taught translated censored adapted or merely left to moulder in a library as each successive culture charged with their safe-keeping saw fit. In the last thirty years Greek tragedy has become the medium through which most people encounter the classical heritage and in the book Garland gives extensive coverage to modern stagings of the plays all over the world taking this fascinating story right up to the present. Robert Garland writes in a lively style accessible to students and scholars alike.
