THE GREEK AND ROMAN CRITICS
University of Toronto Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1965. Hardcover. Plastic is lifting in places off DJ. Edgewear to DJ with chipping and a few tears. Author's signature to titlepage with gift inscription to ffep. Minor Shelfwear to book. ; During the thousand years which separate Homer from Plotinus the Greeks and Romans not only created two great literatures and most of our literary genres; they also developed theories of literature and methods of criticism. These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view. In this book Professor Grube who is a recognized authority in this field gives us a clear full and reliable analysis of the ancient critical texts and traces the birth and developments of critical thinking thoughout the classical centuries. ; 372 pages; Signed by Author .

Cicero; David Stockton
THIRTY-FIVE LETTERS OF CICERO Selected and Edited with Introductions and Notes
Oxford University Press. Very Good. 1988. Softcover. 0199120056 . Former owner's name to titlepage. Light shelfwear. ; These letters have been selected to show Cicero in his mature years from 65 to 44 B. C. They have not been chosen to illustrate details of social life and manners though such details inevitably occur in them : the main emphasis is political and the linking commentary that precedes each letter is designed to set it against the political background. The commentary is intended to supply not merely assist with the translation of the Latin and understanding of the syntax but more particularly the indispensable background of social and historical information without which the study of Cicero�s letters would be largely wasted labor. The introduction too while sketching the career of Cicero also clarifies the political background of the period. In general this edition will serve not merely as an introduction to Cicero�s letters but as giving some substance and immediacy to the study of the history of the late Republic. The text is that of the Oxford edition but care has been taken to produce a �clean� text and occasionally different readings have been admitted from those printed in the Oxford text though these are generally noted and justified in the commentary. There are two appendices on the Roman calendar and on Roman money an index of proper names and of subject-matter and a select vocabulary. David Stockton 1925-2012 attended the Emanuel School and in 1943 was conscripted into the Royal Navy and worked on Japanese codes at Bletchley Park. A colleague at Brasenose observed that this experience may have honed his formidable skills at solving crosswords a devotion to which was shared by Inspector Morse author Colin Dexter. After the war Stockton won an open scholarship to read Classics at Magdalen College and went onto become a Fellow and Tutor at Brasenose College. His wide-ranging body of work includes what is widely regarded as the leading study on Cicero published in the 20th century.; 241 pages . Oxford University Press paperback

DJ has faint creasing along top edge. ; A fiercely independent thinker colorful storyteller and spirited teacher David Grene devoted his life to two things: farming which he began as a boy in Ireland and continued into old age; and classics which he taught for several decades that culminated in his translating and editing with Richmond Lattimore of The Complete Greek Tragedies. In this charming memoir which he wrote during the years leading up to his death in 2002 at the age of eighty-nine Grene weaves together these interests to tell a quirky and absorbing story of the sometimes turbulent and always interesting life he split between the University of Chicago�where he helped found the Committee on Social Thought�and the farm he kept back in Ireland. Charting the path that took him from Europe to Chicago in 1937 and encompassing his sixty-five-year career at the university Grene�s book draws readers into the heady and invigorating climate of his time there. And it is elegantly balanced with reflections stemming from his work on the farm where he hunted plowed and regularly traveled on horseback to bring his cows home for milking. Grene�s form and humor are quite his own and his brilliant storytelling will enthrall anyone interested in the classics rural Ireland or twentieth-century intellectual history especially as it pertains to the University of Chicago. ; 184 pages .

Jenkyns Richard Ed.
THE LEGACY OF ROME A New Appraisal
Oxford University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0198219172 . Book is fine. DJ has scratches along top edge. ; If the grandeur that was Rome has long since vanished the impact of the Eternal City can still be felt in virtually every corner of Western culture. Students of speech and rhetoric to this day study the works of Cicero for guidance. We find Roman Law setting the model for legal systems from the twelfth century to the present. And Latin itself far from being a "dead language" lives on not only in the Romance languages but also in English vocabulary and grammar. Rhetoric language law--these are just a small part of the great Roman influence that has lasted throughout the centuries. The Legacy of Rome has long been considered the standard introduction to the achievements of the Roman world. Now in a completely new edition this classic work brings together the latest scholarship in the field from some of the world's leading classical scholars. Unlike the previous version which focused on such narrow topics as commerce and administration the new edition broadens the spectrum of influence showing the impact for example of Roman literature art politics law and language on western civilization. Jasper Griffin for instance looks to the works of Shakespeare Milton Keats and Wordsworth among others to trace the lasting influence of the great Roman poet Virgil on the development of poetic forms such as the pastoral epitomized by Virgil's Eclogues and the epic poem exemplified by the Aeneid. A. T. Grafton shows how Renaissance intellectuals such as Machiavelli and Guicciardini looked to Rome's past for political enlightenment and found models of military strategy in the works of Tacitus and Livy. Editor Richard Jenkyns dispels the misconception of the Romans as purely imitative of the Greeks; he points out such uniquely Roman concepts as jurisprudence and citizenship and architecture based on the round arch and the vault as evidence of Roman innovativeness. Other contributors--George A. Kennedy Robert Feenstra and Nicholas Purcell--discuss the importance of the study of Roman rhetoric in preparing speakers for public life the lasting influence of the Justinian code on Western legal development and the impact on future civilizations of the romanticized notion of an imperial Rome and its magical ruins. ; 518 pages .

Lacey W. K.
THE FAMILY IN CLASSICAL GREECE
Cornell University Press. Near Fine. 1984. Softcover. 0801492742 . Very Minor shelfwear. ; Aspects of Greek and Roman Life; 342 pages; In this well-researched and coherent introduction to family life in classical Greece Mr Lacey explains the structure of the family the social and economic pressures that affected it and the complicated legal measures that were devised to regulate and protect it. Even though the family has always been a fundamental institution in Greek society this is the first study in English devoted to it. This book deals in detail with the family in the archaic and classical ages -- the great era of the city-states. It was during this period that a close and complex relationship existed between the family and the city-state. Each city-state was in fact the sum total of the households contained in it and each household resembled a miniature kingdom with its own gods and lands and the head of the house exercised almost royal powers over his children. So powerful and close-knit was the family group that it was regarded by politicians and philosophers including Plato and Aristotle as damaging to their ideals of personal detachment and public service and even as a menace to the unity of the state. Mr Lacey supports his views of family life by quoting and discussing relevant writings of the Greek philosophers and by citing contemporary literature especially the comedies. He analyzes also the valuable evidence supplied by inscriptions vase paintings sculpture terracottas and coins many of which are presented in black-and-white photographs. From ancient times until today the most pervasive force in Greek life has been the family. This study of its influence in classical Greece makes possible a better understanding of greek history literature and art. . Cornell University Press paperback

THE ORIGINS OF RHETORIC IN ANCIENT GREECE
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Near Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0801840554 . Pencilling to rear endpaper else fine. ; Is it fair to judge early Greek rhetoric by the standards of Plato and Aristotle This text argues that it is not and yet this is the path taken by current scholarship on the subject. Arguing against this view this work sees early Greek rhetoric as largely unsystematic efforts to explore more by means than by precept all aspects of discourse. Replacing these early text by such treatises as the "Rhetoric" of Aristotle Cole explains can only be understood as part of a gradual process as artistic prose came to be disseminated in written texts and so available in a form that for the first time be analyzed evaluated and closely imitated. ; Ancient Society and History; 191 pages .

LUCRETIUS: DE RERUM NATURA Book III
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1971. Hardcover. 0521081424 . Very light to book else fine. DJ has minor shelfwear with 1 small tear and light edgewear. DJ is price-clipped. ; Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics; 272 pages; The De Rerum Natura of Lucretius is a sustained and impassioned protest against religious superstition and irrationality. The poem takes the form of a detailed exposition of Epicurean physical theory - an extreme materialism designed to remove and discredit popular fears of the gods death and an afterlife. Book III is generally accepted to be the finest in the whole poem; Lucretius argues there that the soul is as mortal as the body and shows that human response to the fact of mortality and death can be at once rational dignified and liberating. Professor Kenney's commentary is the first to give proper critical emphasis to the techniques and intentions of Lucretius' poetry; it can be read with profit by all students of Latin from senior school level upwards. .

Millar Fergus
THE CROWD IN ROME IN THE LATE REPUBLIC
University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0472108921 . Minor shelfwear book is fine. DJ has 3 small holes to foreedges. ; The Crowd in Rome in the Late Republic explores the consequences of a democracy in which public office could only be gained by direct election by the people. And while the Senate could indeed debate public matters advise other officeholders and make some administrative decisions it could not legislate. An officeholder who wanted to pass a law had to step out of the Senate-house and propose it to the people in the Forum. In an expansion and revision of his Thomas Spencer Jerome lectures Fergus Millar explores the development of the Roman Republic which by its final years had come to cover most of Italy. To exercise their rights voters had to come to Rome or to live in or near the city as about one third of them did and to meet in the Forum. Millar takes the period from 80 to 50 B. C. the dictatorship of Sulla to Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon and shows how crowd politics was central to the great changes that took place year after year. The volume will interest general readers as well as students of politics and Roman history. Technical terms are explained and foreign words are kept to a minimum. ; Thomas Spencer Jerome Lectures; 1.06 x 9.32 x 6.34 Inches; 256 pages . University of Michigan Press hardcover

ORAL TRADITION AND WRITTEN RECORDS IN CLASSICAL ATHENS
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine. 1992. Softcover. 0521425182 . Very minor shelfwear else Fine. ; Despite its written literature ancient Greece was in many ways an oral society. This is the first serious attempt to study the implications of this view. Dr Thomas stresses the coexistence of literacy and oral tradition in Greece and examines their character and interaction. Concentrating on the plentiful evidence from Classical Athens she shows how the use of writing developed only gradually and under the influence of the previous oral communication. Drawing on anthropological discussion the author isolates different types of Athenian oral tradition building up a picture of Athens' traditions about its past and examining why they changed and disappeared. This study provides crucial insights into the methods and achievements of the Greek historians. It also has major implications for the interpretation of ancient literacy. ; Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 321 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback

Brown Walker Press. Very Good. 2004. Paperback. 1581124279 . Minor edgewear. Scholar's name to titlepage Robert Brown. ; This comprehensive reader utilizes a step-by-step approach to help students of Latin read and understand the longest and most dramatic book of Caesar's Gallic War. Book 7 is the culmination of the conflict between Gaul led by the young Arvernian Vercingetorix and fighting for its freedom and political survival and the Romans led by Julius Caesar and fighting for hegemony and political mastery. The final battle at Alesia pitting the united might of Gaul at 339000 men against a Roman army of 40000 changed the course of Western history. This reader is ideal for Latin students of all levels who have a basic knowledge of grammar and morphology. The Latin text of all 90 chapters of Book 7 is broken down into manageable segments normally about a sentence in length. Immediately following all vocabulary is provided with several meanings of each word selected for that particular context. This is especially helpful for beginning students who are sometimes unsure which definition of a given word to select for translation. Following the vocabulary there are notes on the passage. A unique feature of this reader is that the notes are complete and cover the syntax of every construction and every word in turn. The thoroughness of this reader facilitates speed in reading increases comprehension and promotes satisfaction in reading a difficult language. The benefits of this approach will be shared by teachers and students alike. ; 396 pages . Brown Walker Press paperback
