Gift inscription to ffep. ; Xx 216pp. Vergil has exerted a stronger grasp on the poetic imagination and critical scholarship than almost any other poet. This absorbing book a collection of essays and conversations by such leading poets and classicists as Joseph Brodsky Christine Perkell Michael C. J. Putnam and Mark Strand explores the ways in which Vergil's work has inspired readers of today. The book takes a broad look at questions of historicism: how we read a work written 2000 years ago. There are not only close readings of the Aeneid the Eclogues and Georgics but also essays dealing with such topics as Vergil's influence from the Renaissance to the present. The book concludes with two special sections: a lively conversation on translation between Robert Fagles and Sarah Spence and a 'virtual' roundtable discussion in which Spence has woven together the responses of poets and critics to Vergil's poetry. ; 216 pages .

Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2011. Hardcover. 1107004535 . light shelfwear with faint bumping to book and DJ. ; 294 pages; Prudentius is one of the major Latin poets of antiquity. A Christian living and writing in Spain in the late fourth and early fifth centuries he was thoroughly imbued with the whole tradition of Latin poetry. The Hamartigenia is a didactic poem exploring the origins of evil and how it operates in the world. It is full of echoes and reworkings of earlier poems by Lucretius Virgil and others but is also a serious contribution to this important theological issue which was much discussed in Church circles of the day. This is a major new study of the Hamartigenia in the context of Prudentius' work as a whole and is striking for being as seriously interested in its theological as in its literary contribution. .

London: Thames & Hudson. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 050005102X . Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; The first kings of the Achaemenid Persian empire Cyrus the Great and Darius sought to devise for their capital cities new styles in monumental architecture and sculpture to express their imperial status and mastery of the known world. With no local tradition to guide designers a homogeneous style was created from the example of the many new subjects--Ionian Greeks Lydians Mesopotamians and Egyptians. This book traces these sources and explores the way that traditional Achaemenid motifs if not styles also permeated the empire. The Achaemenid Persian experiment was unique in antiquity and it was successful for as long as the empire lasted. Even after Alexander the Great brought about its downfall it continued to influence the arts from Greece to India. This is a record of the brilliant flowering of an artificial yet unified construct unmatched in the art of the Old World. ; 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall; 255 pages . Thames & Hudson hardcover
