CYNTHIA A Companion to the Text of Propertius
Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2007. Hardcover. 0199228701 . Bump to base of spine. Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. DJ has light shelfwear. ; Propertius is a poet of the Augustan period a successor of the great Hellenistic elegiac poets Callimachus and Philitas and a precursor of Ovid. His account of his fictionalized affair with his beloved alter ego Cynthia is the purest expression of the spirit of love elegy setting them as a pair against war epic and apparently Augustus himself. This is an author read by virtually all students of Classical Latin. Cynthia provides a lucid attempt to understand and correct the many difficulties in the transmitted text. It consists of a commentary on the whole corpus together with a prose translation including alternative versions of ambiguous phrasing. In its clear exposition of technical problems the book will serve as an introduction to Latin textual criticism in the modern age and to elegiac poetic style. ; 650 pages .

The past ten years have seen a resurgence of interest in Martial's writings. But contemporary readers are in particular need of assistance when approaching these epigrams and until now there has been no modern commentary dedicated to Book II. This new commentary carefully illuminates the allusions to people places things and cultural practices of late first-century Rome that pervade Martial's poetry. It analyzes the epigrammatist's poems as literary creations treating such topics as the structure of the individual poems and of the book as a whole and the influence of earlier texts on Martial's language and themes. ; 320 pages .

DJ spine a bit sunned and discolored. ; In this age of the sound bite what sort of author could be more relevant than a master of the epigram Martial the most influential epigrammatist of classical antiquity was just such a virtuoso of the form but despite his pertinence to today�s culture his work has been largely neglected in contemporary scholarship. Arguing that Martial is a major author who deserves more sustained attention William Fitzgerald provides an insightful tour of his works shedding new and much-needed light on the Roman poet�s world�and how it might speak to our own. Writing in the late first century CE�when the epigram was firmly embedded in the social life of the Roman elite�Martial published his poems in a series of books that were widely read and enjoyed. Exploring what it means to read such a collection of epigrams Fitzgerald examines the paradoxical relationship between the self-enclosed epigram and the book of poems that is more than the sum of its parts. And he goes on to show how Martial by imagining these books being displayed in shops and shipped across the empire to admiring readers prophetically behaved like a modern author. Chock-full of epigrams itself�in both Latin and English versions�Fitzgerald�s study will delight classicists literary scholars and anyone who appreciates an ingenious witticism. ; 248 pages .

Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0195088158 . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is fine.

The discovery of his library at Herculaneum and the editing and gradual publication of the material has reawakened interest in the philosophical and historical importance of his work. Philodemus presents us with a poetic theory of interest in itself and several of his treatises provide us with instances of how poetry was seen as providing moral paradigms and guidance. These essays explore the many facets of Philodemus's work and the relationship between them offering a critical survey of recent trends and developments in scholarship on Philodemus in particular and Hellenistic literary theory in general. ; 336 pages .

APULEIUS' METAMORPHOSES A Study in Roman Fiction
Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2014. Hardcover. 0198706839 . Light bumping to base of spine else book and DJ are fine. ; This volume reveals how Apuleius' Metamorphoses -- the only fully extant Roman novel and a classic of world literature -- works as a piece of literature exploring its poetics and the way in which questions of production and reception are reflected in its text. Providing a roughly linear reading of key passages the volume develops an original idea of Apuleius as an ambitious writer led by the literary tradition rhetoric and Platonism and argues that he created what we could call a seriocomic 'philosophical novel' avant la lettre. The author focuses in particular on the ways in which Apuleius drew attention to his achievement and introduced the Greek ass story to Roman literature. Thus the volume also sheds new light on the forms and the literary and intellectual potential of the genre of the ancient novel. ; 208 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover

A LATIN LOVER IN ANCIENT ROME Readings in Propertius and His Genre
Ohio State University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 081420399X . Scholar's name to ffep Robert Brown. Else book is fine. ; Over the centuries Latin love elegy has inspired love poetry in the West from Petrarch to Pound. A Latin Lover in Ancient Rome: Readings in Propertius and His Genre offers a critical reevaluation of the Latin elegiac poet Propertius situating him within the social and political milieu of first-century BCE Rome. W. R. Johnson�s study is centered on close readings of the poems in Propertius� four books that emphasize both his celebration of erotic freedom as a manifestation of the sovereignty of the individual and his insistence on the value of this freedom especially when it is threatened by autocratic ideology. Many recent titles on Propertius have tended to minimize or ignore this aspect of the poet�s work concentrating instead on neo-formalism or Lacanian psychology. Johnson restores Propertius� erotic creed and his politics to the core of his poetics and his career. He offers a vivid picture of the sociopolitical and erotic world of the late Roman Republic and the early years of the Empire which hatched Latin love elegy and allowed it to flourish. This study aims to redirect attention to the pleasures and energies Propertius provides that later generations of poets and readers discovered in and through him. ; 176 pages .
