Edizioni ETS. Very Good. 2012. Softcover. 8846732316 . Light edgewear to wraps. Minor shelfwear. Else fine. ; Il passaggio dalla Repubblica all'Impero continuamente si ripropone come questione cruciale negli studi su Roma antica e continuamente richiede rimeditazioni revisioni ritorni sia per l'arricchirsi della documentazione sia soprattutto per il continuo mutare delle prospettive da cui gli studiosi guardano a una fase della storia che tanto intensamente li sollecita anche attraverso molteplici suggestioni derivate dall'esperienza del presente. I capitoli di questo libro scritti da specialisti di aspetti diversi della civilt� antica - letteratura filosofia storia diritto - si riconducono ciascuno su linee proprie a quel grande tema considerandolo prevalentemente sul piano della storia intellettuale: la diversit� delle situazioni e I processi di transizione nelle istituzioni politiche giuridiche e sociali e nel costume sono osservati attraverso lo sguardo di autori antichi che esplicitamente ne parlano o che ne sono in vario modo condizionati nella loro opera. Il coinvolgimento dell'attivit� intellettuale e letteraria nella situazione della comunit� - il nesso tra letteratura e civitas - � la prospettiva problematica su cui � organizzato il volume. Ed � la prospettiva dominante nelle ricerche di Emanuele Narducci l'insigne studioso della letteratura di Roma antica alla cui memoria quest'opera � dedicata.

With a genesis in discussion panels mounted in the UK in 1996 and the US in 1997 the volume continues recent international dialogue on the genre and future of commentaries. ; Mnemosyne Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 464 pages .

STATIUS' THEBAID AND THE POETICS OF CIVIL WAR
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2007. Hardcover. 052186741X . Very light shelfwear else fine. ; This study focuses on ways in which Statius' epic Thebaid a poem about the civil war between Oedipus' sons Eteocles and Polynices reflects the theme of internal discord in its narrative strategies. At the same time that Statius reworks the Homeric and Virgilian epic traditions he engages with Hellenistic poetic ideals as exemplified by Callimachus and the Roman Callimachean poets especially Ovid. The result is a tension between the impulse towards the generic expectations of warfare and the desire for delay and postponement of such conflict. Ultimately Statius adheres to the mythic paradigm of the mutual fratricide but he continues to employ competing strategies that call attention to the fictive nature of any project of closure and conciliation. In the process the poem offers a new mode of epic closure that emphasises individual means of resolution. ; 214 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover
