‎WIT AND THE WRITING OF HISTORY The Rhetoric of Historiography in Imperial Rome‎

‎Madison WI U.S.A.: University of Wisconsin Press. Very Good. 1988. Softcover. 0299118045 . Minor curling of wraps along foreedges. Light shelfwear. ; Wit has many uses in political discourse�to entertain to underscore or unmask to hinder or enhance insight. Wit and the Writing of History focuses on how this potential is realized in the historiography of the earlier Principate. Preeminently in Tacitus to a lesser degree in Suetonius and Dio Cassius wit is a vehicle for political understanding and judgment of the historical account. As part of Roman political life hostile anecdotal or epigrammatic wit was deeply embedded in the sources used by historians and is reflected in the rhetoric of their narratives. Some anecdotes may in fact have been mere jests later taken as fact hence the frequent problem of credulity. But what is historically false can be politically true. Not only were political jokes a weapon for making some fair points against the Principate; ancient rhetorical theory recognized that wit in general arises from a violation of normal expected ways of thinking. What is �funny� is thus disturbing in a serious way as well as amusing and in the hands of Tacitus wit becomes scalpel as well as sword. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 182 pages .

‎Francis Cairns Publications Ltd. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1984. Hardcover. 0905205162 . Very light shelfwear to book and DJ. ; The main aims of this commentary are to elucidate Sallust's narrative and to clarify his historiographical principles and methods. Such topics as the chronology and topography of the war Numidian customs and their royal family Sallust's sources the conditions of political life in contemporary Rome and Sallust's personal views are therefore given ample treatment. Textual linguistic and literary problems are discussed in so far as they relate to historical and historiographical understanding of Sallust's account. Sallust was indebted to Greek and Roman predecessors as the commentary indicates. But he also set a new fashion in Roman historiography as much by his sense of the realities of Roman public life as by the manner of his writing � a style which was later adopted and developed by Tacitus the great historian of imperial Rome. ; ARCA Classical and Medieval Texts Papers and Monographs 13; 276 pages .

‎PRINCES AND POLITICAL CULTURES The New Tiberian Senatorial Decrees‎

‎University of Michigan Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2002. Hardcover. 0472112309 . Book is fine. DJ protected in mylar. ; 208 pages; In 29 B. C. Augustus celebrated a triple triumph flanked by his nephew Marcellus and his stepson Tiberius. This event is the first attested example of the systematic promotion of young men as potential imperial successors. This practice enabled Augustus to establish the rule not of one man but of a dynastic house with a collective identity. This study built around the senate's funeral honors for Germanicus the Tabula Siarensis and its proceedings against his alleged murderer the senatus consultum de Cn. Pisone patre examines Augustus's transformation of the Roman state to a dynastic monarchy. Covering the period from the reign of Augustus to Claudius's installation Rowe demonstrates how dynastic monarchy turned citizens into subjects. Stepping back from personalities and politics to consider institutions and the values underpinning them Rowe examines six key constituencies of the new order: the Roman senate the equestrian order the urban plebs colonies Greek cities and the legions. Focusing on each group's deliberative and expressive institutions he paints a coherent picture of early imperial culture revealing the transition from formal to informal decision making and individual ascendancy over collective institutions. Rowe uses these findings to explain ostensible loyalism and the uniformity of imperial ideology. Texts translations and discussions of the major inscriptions of the period�both Greek and Latin�are provided. . University of Michigan Press hardcover‎

‎THE DRAMA OF IDEAS Platonic Provocations in Theater and Philosophy‎

‎Oxford University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2010. Hardcover. 0199730326 . Most philosophy has rejected the theater denouncing it as a place of illusion or moral decay; the theater in turn has rejected philosophy insisting that drama deals in actions not ideas. Challenging both views The Drama of Ideas shows that theater and philosophy have been crucially intertwined from the start. Plato is the presiding genius of this alternative history. The Drama of Ideas presents Plato not only as a theorist of drama but also as a dramatist himself one who developed a dialogue-based dramaturgy that differs markedly from the standard Aristotelian view of theater. Puchner discovers scores of dramatic adaptations of Platonic dialogues the most immediate proof of Plato's hitherto unrecognized influence on theater history. Drawing on these adaptations Puchner shows that Plato was central to modern drama as well with figures such as Wilde Shaw Pirandello Brecht and Stoppard using Plato to create a new drama of ideas. Puchner then considers complementary developments in philosophy offering a theatrical history of philosophy that includes Kierkegaard Nietzsche Burke Sartre Camus and Deleuze. These philosophers proceed with constant reference to theater using theatrical terms concepts and even dramatic techniques in their writings. The Drama of Ideas mobilizes this double history of philosophical theater and theatrical philosophy to subject current habits of thought to critical scrutiny. In dialogue with contemporary thinkers such as Martha Nussbaum Iris Murdoch and Alain Badiou Puchner formulates the contours of a "dramatic Platonism." This new Platonism does not seek to return to an idealist theory of forms but it does point beyond the reigning philosophies of the body of materialism and of cultural relativism. ; 254 pages .
