Segal Charles
LUCRETIUS ON DEATH AND ANXIETY Poetry and Philosophy in De Rerum Natura
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691068267 . 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 .

THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF MEDIEVAL LATIN LITERATURE
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 0195394011 . 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 .

In no other area can this position be more clearly defended than in the investigation of the feminine condition for it was here that basic attitudes derogatory to the sex were molded by legal and social systems by philosophers and poets and by the thinking of men long since gone. Women in the Ancient World brings together essays that examine philosophy social history literature and art and that extend from the early Greek period through the Roman Empire.

Brown Walker Press. Very Good. 2004. Paperback. 1581124279 . Minor edgewear. Scholar's name to titlepage Robert Brown. ; This comprehensive reader utilizes a step-by-step approach to help students of Latin read and understand the longest and most dramatic book of Caesar's Gallic War. Book 7 is the culmination of the conflict between Gaul led by the young Arvernian Vercingetorix and fighting for its freedom and political survival and the Romans led by Julius Caesar and fighting for hegemony and political mastery. The final battle at Alesia pitting the united might of Gaul at 339000 men against a Roman army of 40000 changed the course of Western history. This reader is ideal for Latin students of all levels who have a basic knowledge of grammar and morphology. The Latin text of all 90 chapters of Book 7 is broken down into manageable segments normally about a sentence in length. Immediately following all vocabulary is provided with several meanings of each word selected for that particular context. This is especially helpful for beginning students who are sometimes unsure which definition of a given word to select for translation. Following the vocabulary there are notes on the passage. A unique feature of this reader is that the notes are complete and cover the syntax of every construction and every word in turn. The thoroughness of this reader facilitates speed in reading increases comprehension and promotes satisfaction in reading a difficult language. The benefits of this approach will be shared by teachers and students alike. ; 396 pages . Brown Walker Press paperback

Kirk, James
HOMER AND THE EPIC A Shortened Version of 'the Songs of Homer'
Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 1965. Softcover. 0521093562 . Minor shelfwear. Spine sunned and a bit creased. Light bump to top of spine. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; 243 pages; This is a shortened and rearranged version of The Songs of Homer. The literature of the western world begins with one of its greatest achievements. The stories of the wrath of Achilles and its consequences and of the wanderings of Odysseus have been admired from ancient times to the present day. The two great epics can be read and enjoyed unreflectingly as tales of adventure; or they can be studied as literature yielding as insight and understanding grow a deeper and more permanent pleasure. Professor Kirk's book is the means to this pleasure. It is a vivid and comprehensive account of the background and development of the Homeric poems and of their quality as literature. The epics are seen primarily as oral poetry sung for centuries by illiterate singers; and from this view rises discussion of the problems of authorship and transmission. The historical archaeological and linguistic evidence is also examined; and the possible contributions of the Mycenaean period and of the subsequent Dark Age are shown in a fresh light. .
