Millar Fergus
THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Minor shelfwear book is fine. DJ has 3 small holes to foreedges. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover

Lucretius; E. J. Kenney Ed.
LUCRETIUS: DE RERUM NATURA Book III
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0521081424 . Very light to book else fine. DJ has minor shelfwear with 1 small tear and light edgewear. DJ is price-clipped. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 272 pages; The De Rerum Natura of Lucretius is a sustained and impassioned protest against religious superstition and irrationality. The poem takes the form of a detailed exposition of Epicurean physical theory - an extreme materialism designed to remove and discredit popular fears of the gods death and an afterlife. Book III is generally accepted to be the finest in the whole poem; Lucretius argues there that the soul is as mortal as the body and shows that human response to the fact of mortality and death can be at once rational dignified and liberating. Professor Kenney's commentary is the first to give proper critical emphasis to the techniques and intentions of Lucretius' poetry; it can be read with profit by all students of Latin from senior school level upwards. .

THE ORIGINS OF RHETORIC IN ANCIENT GREECE
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0801840554 . Pencilling to rear endpaper else fine. ; Is it fair to judge early Greek rhetoric by the standards of Plato and Aristotle This text argues that it is not and yet this is the path taken by current scholarship on the subject. Arguing against this view this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely unsystematic efforts to explore more by means than by precept all aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle Cole explains can only be understood as part of a gradual process as artistic prose came to be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that for the first time be analyzed evaluated and closely imitated. ; Ancient Society and History; 191 pages .

Thomas, Rosalind
ORAL TRADITION AND WRITTEN RECORDS IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0521425182 . Very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; Despite its written literature ancient Greece was in many ways an oral society. This is the first serious attempt to study the implications of this view. Dr Thomas stresses the coexistence of literacy and oral tradition in Greece and examines their character and interaction. Concentrating on the plentiful evidence from Classical Athens she shows how the use of writing developed only gradually and under the influence of the previous oral communication. Drawing on anthropological discussion the author isolates different types of Athenian oral tradition building up a picture of Athens' traditions about its past and examining why they changed and disappeared. This study provides crucial insights into the methods and achievements of the Greek historians. It also has major implications for the interpretation of ancient literacy. ; Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 321 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback

Oxford University Press. Very Good. 2009. Paperback. 0199207704 . 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 . Oxford University Press paperback

LUCRETIUS AND THE MODERN WORLD
Duckworth. Very Good. 2000. Paperback. 0715628828 . Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Minor creasing to wraps. ; Lucretius' "On the Nature of Things" one of the glories of Latin literature provides a vivid poetic exposition of the doctrines of the Greek atomist Epicurus. The poem played a crucial role in the reinvention of science in the seventeenth century its influence on the French Enlightenment was powerful and pervasive and it became a major battlefield in the wars of religion with science in nineteenth-century England. But in the twentieth century despite its vital contributions to modern thought and civilisation it has been largely neglected by common readers and scientists alike. This book offers an extensive description of the poem with special emphasis on its cheerful version of materialism and on its attempt to devise an ethical system that suits such a universe. It surveys major relevant texts form the eighteenth and ninetheenth centuries Dryden Diderot Voltaire Tennyson Santayana and speculates on why Lucretius and the ancient scientific tradition he championed has become marginalised in the twentieth century. It closes with a discussion of what value the poem has for students of science and technology in the new century: what advice it has to offer us about how to go about reinventing our machines and our morality. ; Classical Inter/Faces; 128 pages .

MARTIAL: A SOCIAL GUIDE
Bristol Classical Press. Very Good. 2007. Paperback. 0715636200 . Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. Tiny chip to base of spine. Wear to 1 corner of wraps. ; In the past both the significance and purpose of Martial's poetry have often been misinterpreted or missed altogether because of the particular literary and social background and context that inform his poetry. For example literary histories have given the impression that Martial wrote 'unobjectionably trivial' poems merely to cull favour from patrons; they also suggest that he had little to say that was serious. In contrast this book argues that Martial with his poetry played a serious and vital role in his community as a social guide or conscience. The book's unique approach to Martial's poetry places him within the reactionary tradition of Indo-European blame/praise poetry. Poets in this tradition served a vital function for their community: in reaction to the perceived deterioration of the behaviour and conditions of their day they either praised ideal behaviour or more commonly ridiculed socially aberrant and destructive behaviour. By linking Martial with this particular tradition we are better able to account for understand and appreciate his themes and methods and the effect of his poetry. ; 151 pages .

Knudsen, Rachel Ahern
HOMERIC SPEECH AND THE ORIGINS OF RHETORIC
Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 1421412268 . Top corners a bit bumped. Else book is fine. ; Traditionally Homer's epics have been the domain of scholars and students interested in ancient Greek poetry and Aristotle's rhetorical theory has been the domain of those interested in ancient rhetoric. Rachel Ahern Knudsen believes that this academic distinction between poetry and rhetoric should be challenged. Based on a close analysis of persuasive speeches in the Iliad Knudsen argues that Homeric poetry displays a systematic and technical concept of rhetoric and that many Iliadic speakers in fact employ the rhetorical techniques put forward by Aristotle. Rhetoric in its earliest formulation in ancient Greece was conceived as the power to change a listeners actions or attitudes through words Particularly through persuasive techniques and argumentation. Rhetoric was thus a "technical" discipline in the ancient Greek world a craft technê that was rule-governed learned and taught. This technical understanding of rhetoric can be traced back to the works of Plato and Aristotle which provide the earliest formal explanations of rhetoric. But do such explanations constitute the true origins of rhetoric as an identifiable systematic practice If not where does a technique-driven rhetoric first appear in literary and social history Perhaps the answer is in Homeric epics. Homeric Speech and the Origins of Rhetoric demonstrates a remarkable congruence between the rhetorical techniques used by Iliadic speakers and those collected in Aristotle's seminal treatise on rhetoric. Knudsen's claim has implications for the fields of both Homeric poetry and the history of rhetoric. In the former field it refines and extends previous scholarship on direct speech in Homer by identifying a new dimension within Homeric speech Namely the consistent deployment of well-defined rhetorical arguments and techniques. In the latter field it challenges the traditional account of the development of rhetoric probing the boundaries that currently demarcate its origins history and relationship to poetry. ; 248 pages .

Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is VG. ; 289 pages; This study appraises the work of all the Roman satirists from the 2nd century BC to the end of the reign of Hadrian in AD 138. The satirists' work is shown to reflect the constantly changing society in which they lived and its topics range from the morally earnest to the bawdy. Certain themes are examined which are common to some degree to all the satirists -- autobiographical revelation personal invective political and ethical judgements and literary criticism. The book provides an exposition of the tradition of verse satire from Lucilius through Horace and Persius to Juvenal with an assessment of the structure and distinctive literary quality of each satire. It discusses satire in the Menippean tradition a composite form of prose and verse which was used first by Varro then by Petronius and by Seneca in his "Apocolocyntosis" a comical and malicious satire on the deification of the emperor Claudius. .

FIGURES OF THOUGHT IN ROMAN POETRY
Yale University Press. Good in Good dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0300024568 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover Robert Brown. Hard bump to lower edge of front board. Tiny sticker damage to ffep. Else book is VG. DJ has chipping and tears. DJ is somewhat tatty and a bit soiled to rear panel. ; 312 pages; It has long been assumed that the language of Roman poetry was constructed under the dictates of elaborately defined rules of rhetoric and its content determined according to the system of comparable classifications called invention. This belief has persisted in spite of the difficulty of fitting the works of Catullus Horace Virgil Propertius and Tibullus into such a rigid scheme. In this book Gordon Williams demonstrates that although Ovid and his successors did indeed assimilate their poetry to the rhetorical rules devised for prose the earlier poets employed a quite different method. Williams sees this method as falling into either a metaphorical or metonymic mode both of which permitted the poet "to say one thing and mean another." Delicate and often startling transitions of thought could be grasped-though not necessarily on first reading-by readers "assumed by the poet to have a special access to the poet's process of thought." This access presupposed similarities of "education social position and sympathetic understanding." Through close analyses of many poems Williams shows how poets in the fifty years before Horace's death exploited metaphor metonymy and a third device that he calls thematic anticipation to evoke subtle associations of thought. In doing so he elucidates problems of Latin poems that have been generally misunderstood almost since they day they were written. . Yale University Press hardcover

Dihle, Albrecht
GREEK AND LATIN LITERATURE OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE From Augustus to Justinian
Routledge. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0415063671 . Upper corners lightly bumped. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Minor shelfwear to book. Some creasing to DJ with a bit of staining to rear wrap. ; Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B. C. And the 6th century A. D. As an organic progression. He builds on Schlegel's observation that art customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature' but all works of cultural socio-historical significance including Jewish and Christian literature philosophy and science. Despite this major authors like Seneca Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature. ; 656 pages .
