FICTIONAL TRACES: RECEPTIONS OF THE ANCIENT NOVEL; Volume 2
Barkhuis. 2011. Hardcover. Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. The study of the reception of the ancient novel and of its literary and cultural heritage is one of the most appealing issues in the story of this literary genre. In no other genre has the vitality of classical tradition manifested itself in such a lasting and versatile manner as in the novel. However this unifying centripetal quality also worked in an opposite direction spreading to and contaminating future literatures. Over the centuries from Antiquity to the present time there have been many authors who drew inspiration from the Greek and Roman novels or used them as models from Cervantes to Shakespeare Sydney or Racine not to mention the profound influence these texts exercised on for instance sixteenth-to eighteenth-century Italian Portuguese and Spanish literature. Volume I is divided into sections that follow a chronological order while Volume II deals with the reception of the ancient novel in literature and art. The first volume brings together an international group of scholars whose main aim is to analyse the survival of the ancient novel in the ancient world and in the Middle Ages in the Renaissance in the 17th and 18th centuries and in the modern era. The contributors to the second volume have undertaken the task of discussing the survival of the ancient novel in the visual arts in literature and in the performative arts.; Ancient Narrative Supplementum 14.2; 2; 211 pages . 9077922989 .

White, Peter
PROMISED VERSE; Poets in the Society of Augustan Rome
Harvard University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Book is fine. DJ protected in mylar.; It served a poet well indeed to have Augustus for a friend. And if Augustus were a friend of poets All the better for the great glory of Roman letters. It is this arrangement complicated by questions of influence and accommodation and simple human susceptibility to the blandishments of power that Peter White explores in "Promised Verse". Combining social history and literary interpretation this book reveals the circumstances of poetic production in the golden era of Virgil Ovid Horace Tibullus and Propertius. Peter White takes a close look at the relationship between the Augustan poets and the men of wealth and status who befriended them - and rewarded their literary efforts with money gifts and the benefits of illustrious connection. These ties - between for instance Horace and Maecenas - appear as part of an elaborate system of social conventions a system of mutual advantage to poet and patron. Within this context White also considers groups and institutions - the mysterious collegium poetarum the schools of the grammarians libraries and public recitations - that helped the poet make his way and linked him to Roman society. In Augustus we see a patron comparable in many ways to his aristocratic counterparts. The Emperor sought to promote Roman literature and yet seems to have intervened only rarely in the poetry he sponsored. Contrary to a view that has been prevalent since the eighteenth century the result was not literary propaganda. Instead White shows the public poetry created by Augustan poets was as independent and inventive as the rest of their work.; 330 pages . 067471525X . Harvard University Press hardcover

COLLECTED STUDIES ON THE ROMAN NOVEL / ENSAYOS SOBRE LA NOVELA ROMANA
Editorial Brujas. 2013. Softcover. Very Good. Minor shelfwear. Minor discoloration to front wrap. Else fine.; The ancient novel no longer occupies a marginal position in the field of Classical studies. On the contrary it is an area of research that is constantly expanding thanks in part to the discovery of new papyri. But there is also a growing interest in so-called "fringe narratives" in their own right and far more attention is being paid to Christian and Byzantine fiction as well as to other points of contact between the ancient novel and traditions from outside the Greco-Roman world. The Roman novel too has recently garnered increased attention from scholars of ancient narrative; in addition to Petronius and Apuleius both of whom are traditionally included in the canon of major Latin authors we now include the late and anonymous novella known as the Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri. The present volume which collects studies by renowned scholars from North America South America and Europe offers varied approaches and multiple points of view on Latin narrative fiction; taken together they provide rich insights into the whole of classical culture.; Ordia Prima Studia 7; 312 pages; Isbn: 9789875913899 .

FROM POLYPRAGMON TO CURIOSUS; Ancient Concepts of Curious and Meddlesome
Oxford University Press. 2013. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Light bump to top of spine. Else book is fine.; From Polypragmon to Curiosus is a study of how Greek and Latin writers describe curious meddlesome and exaggerated behaviour. Founded on a detailed investigation of a family of Greek terms often treated as synonymous with each other and of the Latin words used to describe them opening chapters survey how they were used in Greek literature from the 5th and 4th centuries BC moving onto their Latin usage and relationship to that of Hellenistic and imperial Greek. Other chapters adopt a more thematic approach and consider how words such as polypramon periergos philopragmon and curiosus are employed in descriptions of the world of knowledge opened up by empire - in discourses of pious and impious curiosity in reflections on what constitutes useful and useless learning and in descriptions of style. The themes which the volume addresses remain alive throughout the literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance most obviously through emblematic figures of human curiosity such as Dante's Ulisse and Marlowe's Dr Faustus.; 272 pages . 0199668612 .

AFTER THE PAST; Essays in Ancient History in Honour of H. W. Pleket
Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers. 2002. Hardcover. Very Good. Small bump to foreedge of front cover. Faint bump to base of spine.; Mnemosyne Vol Suppl. 233; 378 pages; What was funny about ancient jokes and why Why did the Roman state legislate to curb the behaviour of its obscenely rich and powerful elite if it never really expected such laws to be obeyed Why did it oppress the poor and lavish public child support on them These are important questions but ancient Greeks and Romans could never have thought of them. They never questioned the right of the rich to be rich. They could not improve their understanding of Homeric gift-giving with the experience of ritualized friendship among the Trobriand islanders. Such questions and such answers can only come from those who live after the ancient past. This volume honours the well-known Dutch epigraphist and ancient historian H. W. Pleket. Ten substantial essays reflect his wide range from early Greece to the Roman Empire and his taste for comparative economic and social history. . 9004128166 . Brill Academic Publishers hardcover
