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 .

‎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 .
