‎University of Toronto Press Scholarly Publishing Division. Very Good. 1996. Softcover. 0802079415 . Faint creasing to spine. Light shelfwear. Scholar's name to half-title Robert Brown. ; In this volume William S. Anderson sets Plautus who wrote Rome's earliest surviving poetry in his rightful place among the Greek and Roman writers of what we know as New Comedy fourth to second centuries. Anderson begins by defining major innovations that Plautus made on inherited Greek New Comedy Menander Philemon and Diphilus transforming it from romantic domestic drama to a celebration of rollicking family anarchy. He shows how Plautus diminished the traditional importance of love and replaced it with a new major theme: 'heroic badness' especially embodied in the rogue slave ancestor of the impudent servant valet or maid. Anderson then examines the unique verbal texture of Plautus' drama and demonstrates his revolt against realism his drive to have his characters defy everyday circumstances and pit their intrepid linguistic wit against social order their Roman extravagant impudence against Greek self-control. Finally Anderson explores the special form of metatheatre that we admire in Plautus by which he undermines the assumptions of his Greek models' and replaces them with a new confident Roman comedy. ; Robson Classical Lectures; 194 pages .

Hittite is one of the earliest attested Indo-European languages although marked differences in its structure and phonology have led some philologists to argue that it should be classified as a sister language to the Indo-European languages rather than a daughter language. ; William Dwight Whitney Linguistic Series; 192 pages .

‎THE ORIGINS OF CRITICISM Literary Culture and Poetic Theory in Classical Greece‎

‎Princeton University Press. Very Good in Near Fine dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0691074852 . Light spotting to boards. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; By "literary criticism" we usually mean a self-conscious act involving the technical and aesthetic appraisal by individuals of autonomous works of art. Aristotle and Plato come to mind. The word "social" does not. Yet as this book shows it should--if that is we wish to understand where literary criticism as we think of it today came from. Andrew Ford offers a new understanding of the development of criticism demonstrating that its roots stretch back long before the sophists to public commentary on the performance of songs and poems in the preliterary era of ancient Greece. He pinpoints when and how later in the Greek tradition than is usually assumed poetry was studied as a discipline with its own principles and methods. The Origins of Criticism complements the usual history-of-ideas approach to the topic precisely by treating criticism as a social as well as a theoretical activity. With unprecedented and penetrating detail Ford considers varying scholarly interpretations of the key texts discussed. Examining Greek discussions of poetry from the late sixth century B. C. Through the rise of poetics in the late fourth he asks when we first can recognize anything like the modern notions of literature as imaginative writing and of literary criticism as a special knowledge of such writing. Serving as a monumental preface to Aristotle's Poetics this book allows readers to discern the emergence within the manifold activities that might be called criticism of the historically specific discourse on poetry that has shaped subsequent Western approaches to literature. ; 356 pages .

‎THE IDEA OF EPIC‎

‎University of California Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0520068149 . Faint foxing to textblock else book is fine. DJ spine sunned and discolored. Dustjacket is protected in plastick sleeve. ; Eidos; 0.75 x 8.75 x 6 Inches; 200 pages; The idea of epic is elusive. The classical tradition of epic poetry emerged from the heroic poetry of one tribe of one people the Ionian Greeks. The fame of the Iliad and Odyssey inspired emulators and created a genre which remained in high favor throughout the classical epoch and was revived in the Renaissance. Modern literature however has neglected it and the word "epic" no longer connotes a literary form. J. B. Hainsworth explores the development of the epic genre the causes of its success in classical literature and the reasons for the failure of the genre after its triumphs in the Renaissance. The idea of epic Hainsworth argues is composite. As the offspring of a tradition of heroic poetry it is a narrative of historical or fictional events. However the Homeric epics try to make sense of events by relating them to some theme for example heroism and explaining them in terms of a metaphysical idea such as destiny or the will of God. In the literary epic of the classical period the narrative element divided into historical and mythological forms; authors exploited national political and romantic themes. Hainsworth examines the way in which these ideas intersect in classical criticism and in Hellenistic and Roman epic. Hainsworth demonstrates that after its first flowering the epic became an artificial literary form justified by the authority of the Homeric poems. When the poetic form was abandoned the idea of epic dissolved leaving as its ghost the expression in other forms of the metaphysical ideas of the Greek and Roman epics. .
