TIBULLUS A Hellenistic Poet at Rome
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1979. Softcover. 0521224136 . Light foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Upper corners lightly bumped. Dustjacket spine is sunned. ; 264 pages; Tibullus was one of the leading poets of Augustan Rome. Professor Cairns examines in detail aspects of Tibullus' poetic craftsmanship - his learning his interest in the meanings of words his use of suspense and deception his control of the structures of his elegies - and demonstrates the original qualities of Tibullus' verse. This examination is carried out by relating Tibullus' work at all points to the Hellenistic poetic tradition and the literary genres and conventions it developed. This book will be of particular interest to students of Latin and Hellenistic Greek literature and as all Greek is translated it should also be useful to students of comparative literature. .

Kaster Robert A.
GUARDIANS OF LANGUAGE The Grammarian and Society in Late Antiquity
Berkeley CA U.S.A.: University of California Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. Hardcover. 0520055357 . Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Foxing to textblock. DJ lightly sunned. ; What did it mean to be a professional teacher in the prestigious "liberal schools"�the schools of grammar and rhetoric�in late antiquity How can we account for the abiding prestige of these schools which remained substantially unchanged in their methods and standing despite the political and religious changes that had taken place around them The grammarian was a pivotal figure in the lives of the educated upper classes of late antiquity. Introducing his students to correct language and to the literature esteemed by long tradition he began the education that confirmed his students' standing in a narrowly defined elite. His profession thus contributed to the social as well as cultural continuity of the Empire. The grammarian received honor�and criticism; the profession gave the grammarian a firm sense of cultural authority but also placed him in a position of genteel subordination within the elite. Robert A. Kaster provides the first thorough study of the place and function of these important but ambiguous figures. He also gives a detailed prosopography of the grammarians and of the other "teachers of letters" below the level of rhetoric from the middle of the third through the middle of the sixth century which will provide a valuable research tool for other students of late-antique education. ; 524 pages .

Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; This is a book about Virgil's Aeneid especially the second half of the poem are explores in some detail Virgil's use of Homer's Iliad. The author's main purpose is to try to re-establish the value and importance of books VII-XII of the Aeneid which he argues far from constituting a falling off from the more familiar earlier books Aeneid VII-XII presents a continuous epic narrative of sustained power planned and executed on the largest scale and offering a structural unity which matches that of its great model. His secondary purpose is to try to give the modern reader an impression of what Homer's Iliad meant to the implied reader of the Aeneid and to Virgil himself. Throughout Gransden places emphasis on the text as a piece of continuous narrative finding that the experience of reading VII-XII modifies the reader's sense of books I-VI. ; 232 pages .

VIRGIL AENEID 7 A Commentary
Brill. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 9004108424 . Gift inscription from author to ffep. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; This commentary began in 1967 but most of the period from 1971 to 1996 was spent on work that was in some sense an essential preliminary to a detailed study of "Aeneid 7". The work aims to serve as a guide to work on Virgilian language grammar syntax and style. Approaches to the text have been where possible taken into account with sympathy but without jargon. Virgil's sources in verse and prose have been studied with special care and the commentary presents a coherent approach to Virgil's view of Italian religion antiques and topography. Unusually full indexing is intended to further the book's use as a guide to many aspects of Augustan poet idiom. ; Mnemosyne Supplements; 567 pages; Signed by Author . Brill hardcover

VIRGIL'S AUGUSTAN EPIC
Cambridge University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1989. Hardcover. 0521353580 . Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ has minor edgewear. ; 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 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1965. First Edition. Hardcover. 0521056314 . Very light shelfwear to book. DJ is price-clipped. DJ has 1 small tear with very minor chipping. ; Machon was a writer of Comedies who lived and worked in Alexandria in the middle of the third century B. C. All of his work that survives is preserved in the Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus who besides two fragments of Comedies of no great importance quotes also 462 verses from a collection of anecdotes which Machon called Xpeiai. These anecdotes are written in the iambic verse of Comedy. They are concerned with the doings and sayings of courtesans parasites and musicians sometimes in relation to persons of historical importance. They are often scabrous but also not infrequently amusing; and they are of considerable interest both as documents of social history and as a type of literature which though popular in antiquity has hardly survived. The Xpeiai which present many problems of reading and interpretation have never before been separately edited. Recent editors of Athenaeus have improved the text; but to find commentaries it is necessary to go back to Casaubon's edition of Athenaeus published in 1600 and to Schweighauser's published in 1801-7. ; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 1; 172 pages .

NERO
Belknap Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2003. Hardcover. 0674011929 . Pencil marginalia to a few pages else book is fine. DJ is price-clipped with light edgewear. ; The Roman emperor Nero is remembered by history as the vain and immoral monster who fiddled while Rome burned. Edward Champlin reinterprets Nero's enormities on their own terms as the self-conscious performances of an imperial actor with a formidable grasp of Roman history and mythology and a canny sense of his audience. Nero murdered his younger brother and rival to the throne probably at his mother's prompting. He then murdered his mother with whom he may have slept. He killed his pregnant wife in a fit of rage then castrated and married a young freedman because he resembled her. He mounted the public stage to act a hero driven mad or a woman giving birth and raced a ten-horse chariot in the Olympic games. He probably instigated the burning of Rome for which he then ordered the spectacular punishment of Christians many of whom were burned as human torches to light up his gardens at night. Without seeking to rehabilitate the historical monster Champlin renders Nero more vividly intelligible by illuminating the motives behind his theatrical gestures and revealing the artist who thought of himself as a heroic figure. Nero is a brilliant reconception of a historical account that extends back to Tacitus Suetonius and Cassius Dio. The effortless style and artful construction of the book will engage any reader drawn to its intrinsically fascinating subject. ; 1.12 x 9.48 x 6.5 Inches; 360 pages . Belknap Press hardcover

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 indirizz� 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'et� flavia. La Tebaide � stata negli ultimi decenni oggetto di un ricco dibattito focalizzato sulla complessit� ideologica e letteraria dell'opera. Sull'onda degli studi sulla lingua inquieta del racconto epico la scelta dell'autore � 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 � 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 polarit� non risolte: attraverso gli strumenti retorici della negazione dell'enallage dell'uso allusivo di alcuni lessemi Stazio veicola un potenziale di ambiguit� stilistica che riflette il disordine di un cosmo non pacificato. La prospettiva filologica sulla quale � 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 .
