Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; In this volume William S. Anderson sets Plautus who wrote Rome's earliest surviving poetry in his rightful place among the Greek and Roman writers of what we know as New Comedy fourth to second centuries. Anderson begins by defining major innovations that Plautus made on inherited Greek New Comedy Menander Philemon and Diphilus transforming it from romantic domestic drama to a celebration of rollicking family anarchy. He shows how Plautus diminished the traditional importance of love and replaced it with a new major theme: 'heroic badness' especially embodied in the rogue slave ancestor of the impudent servant valet or maid. Anderson then examines the unique verbal texture of Plautus' drama and demonstrates his revolt against realism his drive to have his characters defy everyday circumstances and pit their intrepid linguistic wit against social order their Roman extravagant impudence against Greek self-control. Finally Anderson explores the special form of metatheatre that we admire in Plautus by which he undermines the assumptions of his Greek models' and replaces them with a new confident Roman comedy. ; Robson Classical Lectures; 194 pages .

‎THE IMPERIAL ROMAN ARMY‎

‎B. T. Batsford. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0713471662 . Book is fine. DJ is price-clipped. ; The Emperor Augustus believed that the Roman army occupied a crucial place at the heart of the empire and it was he who made it a fully professional force. This book looks at the structure and development of the army between the Republic and the Late Empire examining why the army has always been accorded such a prominent position in the history of the Roman Empire and whether that view is justified. The book is divided into three sections. The author first examines the major divisions of army organization - the legions the auxiliary units the fleet - and how the men were recruited. Secondly he looks at what the army did - the training tactics and strategy. Finally he considers the historical role of the army - how it fitted into Roman society of which it was only part and what influence it had economically and politically. In exploring these themes the author gives equal weight to epigraphic documentary and archaeological evidence. With tables summarizing detailed information Yann Le Bohec provides a synthesis of current knowledge of the Roman army from the first to the third century AD putting it in its context as part of the state structure of the Roman Empire. ; 9.75 x 1.25 x 6.75 Inches; 304 pages .

‎Harvard University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0674962605 . Faint foxing to textblock. Else minor shelfwear. ; Written Voices Spoken Signs is a stimulating introduction to new perspectives on Homer and other traditional epics. Taking advantage of recent research on language and social exchange the nine essays in this volume focus on performance and audience reception of oral poetry. These innovative essays by leading scholars of Homer oral poetics and epic invite us to rethink some key concepts for an understanding of traditional epic poetry. Egbert Bakker examines the epic performer's use of time and tense in recounting a past that is alive. Tackling the question of full-length performance of the monumental Iliad Andrew Ford considers the extent to which the work was perceived as a coherent whole in the archaic age. John Miles Foley addresses questions about spoken signs and the process of reference in epic discourse and Ahuvia Kahane studies rhythm as a semantic factor in the Homeric performance. Richard Martin suggests a new range of performance functions for the Homeric simile. And Gregory Nagy establishes the importance of one feature of epic language the ellipsis. These six essays centered on Homer engage with fundamental issues that are addressed by three essays primarily concerned with medieval epic: those by Franz Bäuml on the concept of fact; by Wulf Oesterreicher on types of orality; and by Ursula Schaefer on written and spoken media. In their Introduction the editors highlight the underlying approach and viewpoints of this collaborative volume. ; Center for Hellenic Studies Colloquia; 320 pages .

Topics included are nineteenth-century historiography and the interest in linguistics. The second section sheds new light on the culture of archaic Greece offering a coherent assessment of literary and visual representations. Taking mythical narrative as a form of oral storytelling it shows the emergence of the Amazon motif and its meaning in the world of epic.

‎THE IDEA OF EPIC‎

‎University of California Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520068149 . Faint foxing to textblock else book is fine. DJ spine sunned and discolored. Dustjacket is protected in plastick sleeve. ; Eidos; 0.75 x 8.75 x 6 Inches; 200 pages; The idea of epic is elusive. The classical tradition of epic poetry emerged from the heroic poetry of one tribe of one people the Ionian Greeks. The fame of the Iliad and Odyssey inspired emulators and created a genre which remained in high favor throughout the classical epoch and was revived in the Renaissance. Modern literature however has neglected it and the word "epic" no longer connotes a literary form. J. B. Hainsworth explores the development of the epic genre the causes of its success in classical literature and the reasons for the failure of the genre after its triumphs in the Renaissance. The idea of epic Hainsworth argues is composite. As the offspring of a tradition of heroic poetry it is a narrative of historical or fictional events. However the Homeric epics try to make sense of events by relating them to some theme for example heroism and explaining them in terms of a metaphysical idea such as destiny or the will of God. In the literary epic of the classical period the narrative element divided into historical and mythological forms; authors exploited national political and romantic themes. Hainsworth examines the way in which these ideas intersect in classical criticism and in Hellenistic and Roman epic. Hainsworth demonstrates that after its first flowering the epic became an artificial literary form justified by the authority of the Homeric poems. When the poetic form was abandoned the idea of epic dissolved leaving as its ghost the expression in other forms of the metaphysical ideas of the Greek and Roman epics. .
