On his various travels in search of a patron he visited Naples frequenting the Academy there; Mirandola where he entered the service of Gianfrancesco Pico; Milan where he studied Greek under Demetrius Chalcondyles; and Rome where he enjoyed the munificence of Pope Leo X. Following the sack of Rome in 1527 Giraldi eventually made his way back to Ferrara where he spent the last years of his life. Giraldi was the author of many works on literary history mythology and antiquities. Among the most famous are his dialogues translated here into English for the first time. Modeled on Cicero’s Brutus the work discusses hundreds of contemporary neo-Latin and vernacular poets giving a panoramic view of European poetry in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century from Great Britain to Greece but concentrating above all on Italy. ; The I Tatti Renaissance Library 48; 400 pages; Signed by Translator .

‎COMMENTARY ON SILIUS ITALICUS' PUNICA 7 Edited with Introduction and Commentary‎

‎Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 0199570930 . Light bumping to upper corners else book is fine. DJ has 1 tear to lower rear corner 2 cm and minor shelfwear. ; Once stigmatized as 'the worst epic ever written' Silius Italicus' Punica is now the focus of a resurgence of critical interest and wide-ranging positive reappraisal. In a climate of flourishing interest in Flavian literary culture Punica 7 now joins the rising number of commentaries on Flavian epic. While offering an insightful analysis of Silius' complex intertextuality Littlewood demonstrates how his republican theme bears the imprint of Rome's more recent experience of civil conflict and the military and civic ethos of the Flavians and illuminates the poet's engagement with luxuria exploring tensions within the literary and political culture of the Age of Domitian. The narrative of Punica 7 is a tale of treachery and perseverance of a battle of wills and the desecration of the Italian land which is poetically interpreted through intertextual allusion to Virgil's Georgics. In the centre of the book Hannibal commits the anti-pastoral atrocity of igniting 2000 Roman ploughing oxen to simulate a nocturnal raid based on Homer's Doloneia. The burning flesh of this subverted sacrifice interwoven with imagery evoking bacchanal madness and the rising smoke of the sack of Troy sets the stage for a dramatic finale in which Rome's traditional virtues triumph over oriental guile and internal discord. This penetrating study explores how the historical narrative coalesces with mythology the proto-history of Rome and the genealogy of its protagonists. Littlewood's volume is the first full English commentary on a book of Silius Italicus' Punica and is supported by an extended introduction covering Silius' life his literary models the characterization of his protagonists Fabius and Hannibal his epic style and the transmission of the text. ; 384 pages .

‎IDEOLOGY IN COLD BLOOD A Reading of Lucan's Civil War‎

‎Harvard University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0674442911 . Scholar's small bookplate to ffep R. E. Fantham. Marginalia in pen to about 3 pages a word or two. Else very minor shelfwear to book and DJ. ; Is Lucan's brilliant and grotesque epic Civil War an example of ideological poetry at its most flagrant or is it a work that despairingly proclaims the meaninglessness of ideology Shadi Bartsch offers a startlingly new answer to this split debate on the Roman poet's magnum opus. Reflecting on the disintegration of the Roman republic in the wake of the civil war that began in 49 B. C. Lucan writing during the grim tyranny of Nero's Rome recounts that fateful conflict with a strangely ambiguous portrayal of his republican hero Pompey. Although the story is one of a tragic defeat the language of his epic is more often violent and nihilistic than heroic and tragic. And Lucan is oddly fascinated by the graphic destruction of lives the violation of human bodies--an interest paralleled in his deviant syntax and fragmented poetry. In an analysis that draws on contemporary political thought ranging from Hannah Arendt and Richard Rorty to the poetry of Vietnam veterans as well as on literary theory and ancient sources Bartsch finds in the paradoxes of Lucan's poetry both a political irony that responds to the universally perceived need for yet suspicion of ideology and a recourse to the redemptive power of storytelling. This shrewd and lively book contributes substantially to our understanding of Roman civilization and of poetry as a means of political expression. ; Revealing Antiquity; 236 pages .

‎NOVUS UNDE FUROR Una Lettura Del Dodicesimo Libro Della Tebaide Di Stazio‎

‎Fabrizio Serra Editore. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2012. Softcover. 8862274521 . 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 .
