VIRGIL'S AUGUSTAN EPIC
Cambridge University Press. 1989. Hardcover. Very Good in Good dust jacket. Minor shelfwear to book. DJ has some edgewear with chipping and small tears to spine ends and corners. Sticker damage to bottom corner of front wrap. R. E. Fantham's notes in pen and pencil to rear DJ flap.; An examination of the main characters in the Aeneid - Aeneas himself Dido and Turnus - in the light of Virgil's contemporary Augustan political and literary ideology. The characters and the plot and incident of the epic are seen as embodying and exemplifying first the ancient ideals of kingship and concord and second the Roman self-identification as at once 'Italian' and 'Trojan' and finally as reflecting the literary self-evaluation of the Augustan age. In the literary area Virgil's relations with contemporary Roman elegy with early Greek lyric and most important with Homer are studied and reevaluated. Virgilian scholars and students of Augustan literature in general will find this book of interest to them.; 296 pages . 0521353580 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Farrell, Joseph
VERGIL'S GEORGICS AND THE TRADITIONS OF ANCIENT EPIC; The Art of Allusion in Literary History
Oxford University Press. 1991. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham on ffep. Else book is fine. DJ has very light shelfwear with 1 tiny chip to one corner.; In this important and original new book Joseph Farrell argues that there is a detailed and extensive program of literary allusion in Vergil's Georgics moving basically from Hesiod and Aratus in the first book to Lucretius in the middle two to Homer in the fourth. This program involves what he calls "analytic" allusion namely a reconstruction or interpretation of the texts alluded to; and he contends the direction of the allusion moving from Hesiod and perhaps Alexandrian poetics toward Homer and heroic epic helps to clarify the development of Vergil's poetic career which moves from the Callimacheanism of the Eclogues to the full-fledged epic of the Aeneid. Applying to the Georgics the full range of recent scholarly methodology Farrell's pathbreaking book will be of great interest to all scholars and students of Vergil classical literature and literary allusion.; 416 pages . 0195067061 .

Thomas, Richard Felstead
READING VIRGIL AND HIS TEXTS; Studies in Intertextuality
University of Michigan Press. 2000. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1 corner bumped. Minor shelfwear. Light pencil marginalia to a couple of pages. DJ has some minor creasing.; There has long been vital interest in the ways that texts affect each other--through translation imitation parody and other forms of emulation and subversion. Throughout the last two millennia the Virgilian text has created its own intertextual heritage persisting in the works of Eliot Frost Lowell and Heaney. Richard F. Thomas's new volume demonstrates that such control and manipulation of the inherited tradition is to be found with great intensity in the very author who in turn created his own complex tradition. The articles and notes included in this volume have been selected for their diachronic aspect in addition to the synchronic status they had in their original context. Dealing with the intricate ways in which Virgil and in the introductory chapter his predecessor Catullus manipulated and appropriated their inherited Greek and Roman literary tradition this book presents a coherent profile through these detailed studies of the mechanics of one of the most dynamic periods in the literary history of any culture. Richard Thomas--one of the most important voices in Latin literary studies today--shows little anxiety about objections to authorial intentionality. Throughout there is a working assumption that intertextual connections can be established and further that functions and purposes even intended ones may be inferred from those connections. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Greek and Latin literature but will also be of great value to students of medieval Renaissance and early modern vernacular literatures most of whose poets see themselves as closely connected to Virgil.; 360 pages . 0472108972 .

Conte, Gian Biagio
THE HIDDEN AUTHOR; An Interpretation of Petronius's Satyricon
University of California Press. 1997. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Paperclip indent to first 2 pages. Else book is fine. DJ has very minor shelfwear.; The Satyricon of Petronius a comic novel written in the first century A. D. is famous today primarily for its amazing banquet tale "Trimalchio's Feast." But this episode is only one part of the larger picture of life during Nero's rule presented in the work. In this accessible discussion of Petronius's masterful use of parody Gian Biagio Conte offers an interpretation of the Satyricon as a whole. He combines the scholarly precision of close reading with a significant original theoretical model. At the heart of his interpretation Conte reveals the technique of the "hidden author" that Petronius employs at the expense of his characters in particular the teller of the story Enclopius. By remaining hidden outside the narrative Petronius invites the reader to smile at the folies de grandeur that occur in a culture of scholars and declaimers. Yet as Conte shows behind the parody and inexhaustible humor of the Satyricon lies an unexpectedly serious lament. For those familiar with the Satyricon as well as for new readers Conte's book will be a reliable enjoyable guide to the wonders the Satyricon contains.; Sather Classical Lectures 60; 224 pages . 0520207157 .

MYTH AND POETRY IN LUCRETIUS
Cambridge University Press. 1994. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Very minor shelfwear to corners. Else book is fine. DJ has tears to base of spine and 1 corner. Some minor shelfwear to DJ.; Lucretius' De Rerum Natura is a philosophical epic devoted to the exposition of Epicurean philosophy. Since the system was materialistic and highly critical of myth and poetry Lucretius' use of mythological language and imagery is surprising. Dr. Gale considers the poem against the background of earlier and contemporary views of myth and suggests that Lucretius was well aware of the tension between his two roles as poet and philosopher and attempted to resolve it by developing a bold and innovative theory of myth and poetry.; Cambridge Classical Studies; 276 pages . 0521451353 .

Institute of Classical Studies. 2012. Softcover. Fine. Institute of Classical Studies Bulletin Supplement 113; 250 pages; Electra is a unique complex and fascinating Greek tragic heroine who became a source of inspiration for countless playwrights artists musicians and filmmakers. The daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra she famously supported her brother’s quest to avenge their father’s murder even at the cost of matricide. Her passion for justice and her desire for vengeance have echoed down the centuries to the modern era. Enshrined as the mourner of Greek tragedy par excellence Electra has enjoyed a long and rich reception history. Electra ancient and modern examines the treatment of Electra by all three ancient tragedians Aeschylus Sophocles and Euripides and their dialogue with the mythical tradition that preceded them. The focus then shifts forward in time to case studies of her reception in the eighteenth nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gradually Electra’s dark desires re-emerge over the course of these three centuries until her passionate cries for vengeance are heard once again. Through its detailed analysis of Electra this book also provides a helpful introduction to the study of Classical Reception its ambitions and methods. . 1905670370 .

Minor shelfwear to DJ.; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries; 124 pages; Nothing is known of the Greek poet Rufinus other than that he was the author of a collection of thirty-nine epigrams. In fact he is such an insubstantial figure that his date has been placed at various points within nearly half a millennium. Professor Page here presents a text of Rufinus' poems and a concise commentary on them. In his introduction he considers the criteria by which a date may be established and finds evidence in favour of the fourth century AD. . 0521217679 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Peirano, Irene
THE RHETORIC OF THE ROMAN FAKE; Latin Pseudepigrapha in Context
Cambridge University Press. 2012. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Light bump to lower edge of front board else book is fine. DJ has light creasing to edges.; Previous scholarship on classical pseudepigrapha has generally aimed at proving issues of attribution and dating of individual works with little or no attention paid to the texts as literary artefacts. Instead this book looks at Latin fakes as sophisticated products of a literary culture in which collaborative practices of supplementation recasting and role-play were the absolute cornerstones of rhetorical education and literary practice. Texts such as the Catalepton the Consolatio ad Liviam and the Panegyricus Messallae thus illuminate the strategies whereby Imperial audiences received and interrogated canonical texts and are here explored as key moments in the Imperial reception of Augustan authors such as Virgil Ovid and Tibullus. The study of the rhetoric of these creative supplements irreverently mingling truth and fiction reveals much not only about the neighbouring concepts of fiction authenticity and reality but also about the tacit assumptions by which the latter are employed in literary criticism.; 322 pages . 1107000734 .

SIGNS OF ORALITY; The Oral Tradition and Its Influence in the Greek and Roman World
Brill. 1999. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Faint dust-soiling/foxing to top of textblock else fine. Dustjacket has minor edgewear and rubbing.; The essays in this volume present new insights into the far-reaching influence of an early oral culture on subsequent development after the spread of literacy. At the outset revisionist essays on the Homeric epics examine such questions as historical memory Homer's audience s descriptive strategies ring-composition and the status of orality as a constitutive feature of the epics. These are followed by virtually unprecedented studies of the orality of later written literature including Greek oratory Virgilian epic Pliny's Panegyricus and story-telling in late Greek writers. Included as well are two discussions of Athenian vase-painting: annular scene-composition in the black-figure tradition and the implications of kalos-inscriptions. An introduction by leading oral theorist John Miles Foley situates all the essays at the leading edge of oral theoretical development.; Mnemosyne. Bibliotheca Classica Batava. Supplementum; 264 pages . 9004112731 . Brill hardcover
