Littlewood, R. Joy
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 .

STATIUS AND VIRGIL The Thebaid and the Reinterpretation of the Aeneid
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2007. Hardcover. 0521840392 . Gift inscription to ffep from author. Else book is fine. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; At the end of the Thebaid Statius enjoins his epic 'not to compete with the divine Aeneid but rather to follow at a distance and always revere its footprints'. The nature of the Thebaid's interaction with the Aeneid is however a matter of debate. This 2007 book argues that the Thebaid reworks themes scenes and ideas from Virgil in order to show that the Aeneid's representation of monarchy is inadequate. It also demonstrates how the Thebaid's fascination with horror spectacle and unspeakable violence is tied to Statius' critique of the moral and political virtues at the heart of the Aeneid. Professor Ganiban offers both a way to interpret the Thebaid and a largely sequential reading of the poem. ; 270 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover

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 .

RESTRAINING RAGE The Ideology of Anger Control in Classical Antiquity
Harvard University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0674006186 . Very faint bump to 1 corner else book is fine. DJ has light edgewear with a bit of creasing. ; The angry emotions and the problems they presented were an ancient Greek preoccupation from Homer to late antiquity. From the first lines of the Iliad to the church fathers of the fourth century A. D. the control or elimination of rage was an obsessive concern. From the Greek world it passed to the Romans. Drawing on a wide range of ancient texts and on recent work in anthropology and psychology Restraining Rage explains the rise and persistence of this concern. W. V. Harris shows that the discourse of anger-control was of crucial importance in several different spheres in politics--both republican and monarchical--in the family and in the slave economy. He suggests that it played a special role in maintaining male domination over women. He explores the working out of these themes in Attic tragedy in the great Greek historians in Aristotle and the Hellenistic philosophers and in many other kinds of texts. From the time of Plato onward educated Greeks developed a strong conscious interest in their own psychic health. Emotional control was part of this. Harris offers a new theory to explain this interest and a history of the anger-therapy that derived from it. He ends by suggesting some contemporary lessons that can be drawn from the Greek and Roman experience. ; 480 pages . Harvard University Press hardcover

Hinds, Stephen
THE METAMORPHOSIS OF PERSEPHONE Ovid and the Self-conscious Muse
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1987. First Edition. Hardcover. 052133506X . Pages tanned. Scholar's name to ffep R. E. Fantham. Large tear to DJ repaired with cellotape with a few tears with some loss. ; Cambridge Classical Studies; 200 pages; Although Ovid is currently enjoying a new wave of popularity most critics withhold from his poetry the close word-by-word readings that are necessary for a thorough understanding of it. Ovid twice treated the myth of Persephone and Hinds's book is at first a historical inquiry--the most extensive yet done--into the double transformation in Metamorphosis 5 and Fasti 4 of the rape of Persephone one of the great Graeco-Roman myths. The study continues as a critical exploration of Ovid's self-conscious delight in language and in writing manifested in these twin narratives providing a feast for students of both Latin poetry and narratives in general. .

Habinek Thomas N.
THE POLITICS OF LATIN LITERATURE Writing Identity and Empire in Ancient Rome
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0691068275 . From the library of R. E. Fantham. Pen notes to 1 pages. A few pages with pencil and underlining. Light rubbing and faint soiling to DJ. ; This is the first book to describe the intimate relationship between Latin literature and the politics of ancient Rome. Until now most scholars have viewed classical Latin literature as a product of aesthetic concerns. Thomas Habinek shows however that literature was also a cultural practice that emerged from and intervened in the political and social struggles at the heart of the Roman world. Habinek considers major works by such authors as Cato Cicero Horace Ovid and Seneca. He shows that from its beginnings in the late third century b. C. To its eclipse by Christian literature six hundred years later classical literature served the evolving interests of Roman and more particularly aristocratic power. It fostered a prestige dialect for example; it appropriated the cultural resources of dominated and colonized communities; and it helped to defuse potentially explosive challenges to prevailing values and authority. Literature also drew upon and enhanced other forms of social authority such as patriarchy religious ritual cultural identity and the aristocratic procedure of self-scrutiny or existimatio. Habinek's analysis of the relationship between language and power in classical Rome breaks from the long Romantic tradition of viewing Roman authors as world-weary figures aloof from mundane political concerns--a view he shows that usually reflects how scholars have seen themselves. The Politics of Latin Literature will stimulate new interest in the historical context of Latin literature and help to integrate classical studies into ongoing debates about the sociology of writing. ; 248 pages .

Vasaly, Ann
REPRESENTATIONS Images of the World in Ciceronian Oratory
University of California Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0520077555 . Book is fine. Dustjacket has minor edgewear and rubbing. ; Ann Vasaly introduces representation theory into the study of Ciceronian persuasion and contends that an understanding of milieu--social political topographical--is crucial to understanding Ciceronian oratory. As a genre uniquely dependent on an immediate interaction between author and audience ancient oratory becomes performance art. Vasaly investigates the way Cicero represented the contemporary physical world--places topography and monuments both those seen and those merely mentioned--to his listeners and demonstrates how he used these representations to persuade. Her exceptionally well-written study deftly recaptures the immediacy of Cicero's oratory and makes a trenchant contribution to an important new area of inquiry in Classical Studies. ; 301 pages .
