ROMAN SATIRE
Methuen & Company. Good. 1976. Softcover. 0416851304 . Staining to last couple of blank pages does not affect text. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover Robert Brown. 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 .

Johnson, W. R.
A LATIN LOVER IN ANCIENT ROME Readings in Propertius and His Genre
Ohio State University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 081420399X . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is fine. ; Over the centuries Latin love elegy has inspired love poetry in the West from Petrarch to Pound. A Latin Lover in Ancient Rome: Readings in Propertius and His Genre offers a critical reevaluation of the Latin elegiac poet Propertius situating him within the social and political milieu of first-century BCE Rome. W. R. Johnsons study is centered on close readings of the poems in Propertius four books that emphasize both his celebration of erotic freedom as a manifestation of the sovereignty of the individual and his insistence on the value of this freedom especially when it is threatened by autocratic ideology. Many recent titles on Propertius have tended to minimize or ignore this aspect of the poets work concentrating instead on neo-formalism or Lacanian psychology. Johnson restores Propertius erotic creed and his politics to the core of his poetics and his career. He offers a vivid picture of the sociopolitical and erotic world of the late Roman Republic and the early years of the Empire which hatched Latin love elegy and allowed it to flourish. This study aims to redirect attention to the pleasures and energies Propertius provides that later generations of poets and readers discovered in and through him. ; 176 pages .

Wallace-Hadrill, Andrew
HOUSES AND SOCIETY IN POMPEII AND HERCULANEUM
Princeton University Press. Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0691069875 . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Underlining in pen to pages. Small stain to top of front panel of DJ. A few scratches to back panel of DJ . ; Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private family and outsiders work and leisure. Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor man and woman master and slave What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman." ; 244 pages .
