SIGNS OF ORALITY The Oral Tradition and Its Influence in the Greek and Roman World
Brill. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1999. Hardcover. 9004112731 . Faint dust-soiling/foxing to top of textblock else fine. Dustjacket has minor edgewear and rubbing. ; The essays in this volume present new insights into the far-reaching influence of an early oral culture on subsequent development after the spread of literacy. At the outset revisionist essays on the Homeric epics examine such questions as historical memory Homer's audience s descriptive strategies ring-composition and the status of orality as a constitutive feature of the epics. These are followed by virtually unprecedented studies of the orality of later written literature including Greek oratory Virgilian epic Pliny's Panegyricus and story-telling in late Greek writers. Included as well are two discussions of Athenian vase-painting: annular scene-composition in the black-figure tradition and the implications of kalos-inscriptions. An introduction by leading oral theorist John Miles Foley situates all the essays at the leading edge of oral theoretical development. ; Mnemosyne. Bibliotheca Classica Batava.

THE RHETORIC OF THE ROMAN FAKE Latin Pseudepigrapha in Context
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 2012. Hardcover. 1107000734 . Light bump to lower edge of front board else book is fine. DJ has light creasing to edges. ; Previous scholarship on classical pseudepigrapha has generally aimed at proving issues of attribution and dating of individual works with little or no attention paid to the texts as literary artefacts. Instead this book looks at Latin fakes as sophisticated products of a literary culture in which collaborative practices of supplementation recasting and role-play were the absolute cornerstones of rhetorical education and literary practice. Texts such as the Catalepton the Consolatio ad Liviam and the Panegyricus Messallae thus illuminate the strategies whereby Imperial audiences received and interrogated canonical texts and are here explored as key moments in the Imperial reception of Augustan authors such as Virgil Ovid and Tibullus. The study of the rhetoric of these creative supplements irreverently mingling truth and fiction reveals much not only about the neighbouring concepts of fiction authenticity and reality but also about the tacit assumptions by which the latter are employed in literary criticism. ; 322 pages .

She concentrates on how the plays are shaped by the interaction of two comic modes: the socially conservative mode of naturalism and the potentially subversive mode of farce. It is precisely this balance of the naturalistic and the farcical that allows everyone in the audience--especially those well placed in the social hierarchy--to identify both with and against the rebel to feel both the thrill of being a clever underdog and the complacency of being a securely ensconced authority figure. ; 240 pages; Signed by Author .

Woodman Tony & Jonathan Powell Eds.
AUTHOR AND AUDIENCE IN LATIN LITERATURE
Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0521383072 . Former owner's name to ffep else Book is fine. Very Minor shelfwear to DJ ; The relationship between the author and his audience has received much critical attention from scholars in non-classical disciplines yet the nature of much ancient literature and of its 'publication' meant that audiences in ancient times were more immediate to their authors than in the modern world. This book contains essays by distinguished scholars on the various means by which Latin authors communicated effectively with their audiences. The authors and works covered are Cicero Catullus Lucretius Propertius Horace's Odes Virgil's Aeneid Ovid's Metamorphoses Senecan tragedy Persius Pliny's letters Tacitus' Annals and medieval love lyric. Contributors have provided detailed analyses of particular passages in order to throw light on the many different ways in which authors catered for their audiences by fulfilling manipulating and thwarting their expectations; and in an epilogue the editors have drawn together the issues raised by these contributions and have attempted to place them in an appropriate critical context. ; 292 pages .

Segal Charles
SINGERS HEROES AND GODS IN THE ODYSSEY
Cornell University Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1994. Softcover. 0801487269 . Tiny black dot to front wrap else fine. ; One of the special charms of the Odyssey according to Charles Segal is the way it transports readers to fascinating places. Yet despite the appeal of its narrative the Odyssey is fully understood only when its style design and mythical patterns are taken into account as well. Bringing a new richness to interpretation of this epic Segal looks closely at key forms of social and personal organization which Odysseus encounters in his voyages. Segal also considers such topics as the relationship between bard and audience the implications of the Odyssey's self-consciousness about its own poetics and Homer's treatment of the nature of poetry. ; Myth and Poetics; 0.88 x 9.35 x 6.28 Inches; 244 pages .
