Scholar's small label to half-title Hugh J. Mason. Clean text. ; Ovid was despite his faults what Macaulay called him 'a good fellow'. But he was also a wit the product of an age of refinement. More important he was an artist with conscious mastery of a great range of literary artifice; his poetry has a studied movement a grace a rich and patterned surface a music that have appealed to readers and writers with an ear for ' technique' ever since. In this 1962 volume Mr Wilkinson writes to communicate his own evident enjoyment and understanding of Ovid's fortunes. A life tells what is known of the poet and serves as a framework to the account of the poetry. This book an abridgement of Ovid Recalled is designed particularly for those who have no Latin: no special knowledge is assumed and the ample quotation is translated into heroic couplets. The result is a delightful and serviceable introduction to Ovid. ; 235 pages . Cambridge University Press paperback‎

Fantham's notes in pen and pencil to rear DJ flap. ; An examination of the main characters in the Aeneid - Aeneas himself Dido and Turnus - in the light of Virgil's contemporary Augustan political and literary ideology. The characters and the plot and incident of the epic are seen as embodying and exemplifying first the ancient ideals of kingship and concord and second the Roman self-identification as at once 'Italian' and 'Trojan' and finally as reflecting the literary self-evaluation of the Augustan age. In the literary area Virgil's relations with contemporary Roman elegy with early Greek lyric and most important with Homer are studied and reevaluated. Virgilian scholars and students of Augustan literature in general will find this book of interest to them. ; 296 pages . Cambridge University Press hardcover‎

‎THE TWO WORLDS OF THE POET New Perspectives on Vergil‎

‎Wayne State University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1992. Hardcover. 0814324509 . Very light shelfwear to book else fine. DJ has light edgewear. ; This collection of essays honors Alexander Gordon McKay one of the most respected names in Vergilian studies. Written by some of the world's leading scholars the essays offer new perspectives on the larger Vergilian world which Dr. McKay's scholarship has so richly illuminated. The Two Worlds of the Poet focuses primarily on Vergil and Augustan literature and art with several essays that expand the Vergilian theme and reflect the wide research interests of Professor McKay in such areas of classical studies as literature art architecture painting and sculpture. Vergil's world presents two faces each inseparable from the other-the world which formed the poet and the world which the poet himself created�and it is proper that a volume which commemorates a scholar whose own work has elucidated both of these worlds should address itself to each. Several essays examine the poet's modus creandi�his use of the simile; his assimilation of the language and motifs of Roman comic drama; his exploitation of the rich store of Greek Etruscan and Roman mythological legendary and historical material; and his treatment of a variety of themes which touch upon the very essence of the human condition. Other essays touch upon various aspects of Vergil's material and cultural environment enabling readers to place his created work in a broader perspective. Contributors offer new perspectives on the post-classical treatment of Vergilian themes illustrating how the reception of Vergil varied with successive generations. The volume concludes with the reflections of the senior statesman of Vergilian criticism upon the scholar's art and mission. Vergil knew that to understand the present it was essential to break out of the narrow circle of the moment and to reach into the past thereby affirming our own humanity and our place in the world and finding paths into the future. Vergil and his poetry create evocative connections that cut across time and place and culture providing a glimpse at the universal human experience. The essays in The Two Worlds of the Poet explore Vergil's own struggle to find his place in the world chronicle the pathway by which we gain entry into the world of the poet and examine how the world of the poet has influenced and enriched our world. ; Classical Studies Pedagogy Series; 548 pages .

DJ has very light shelfwear with 1 tiny chip to one corner. ; In this important and original new book Joseph Farrell argues that there is a detailed and extensive program of literary allusion in Vergil's Georgics moving basically from Hesiod and Aratus in the first book to Lucretius in the middle two to Homer in the fourth. This program involves what he calls "analytic" allusion namely a reconstruction or interpretation of the texts alluded to; and he contends the direction of the allusion moving from Hesiod and perhaps Alexandrian poetics toward Homer and heroic epic helps to clarify the development of Vergil's poetic career which moves from the Callimacheanism of the Eclogues to the full-fledged epic of the Aeneid. Applying to the Georgics the full range of recent scholarly methodology Farrell's pathbreaking book will be of great interest to all scholars and students of Vergil classical literature and literary allusion. ; 416 pages .

‎SENECA AND THE IDEA OF TRAGEDY‎

‎Oxford University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2009. Hardcover. 0195387430 . Upper corners very lightly bumped else fine. Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; As both a literary genre and a view of life tragedy has from the very beginning spurred a dialogue between poetry and philosophy. Plato famously banned tragedians from his ideal community because he believed that their representations of vicious behavior could deform minds. Aristotle set out to answer Plato's objections arguing that fiction offers a faithful image of the truth and that it promotes emotional health through the mechanism of catharsis. Aristotle's definition of tragedy actually had its greatest impact not on Greek tragedy itself but on later Latin literature beginning with the tragedies of the Roman poet and Stoic philosopher Seneca 4 BC - AD 65. Scholarship over the last fifty years however has increasingly sought to identify in Seneca's prose writings a Platonic poetics which is antagonistic toward tragedy and which might therefore explain why Seneca's plays seem so often to present the failure of Stoicism. As Gregory Staley argues in this book when Senecan tragedy fails to stage virtue we should see in this not the failure of Stoicism but a Stoic conception of tragedy as the right vehicle for imaging Seneca's familiar world of madmen and fools. Senecan tragedy enacts Aristotle's conception of the genre as a vivid image of the truth and treats tragedy as a natural venue in which to explore the human soul. Staley's reading of Seneca's plays draws on current scholarship about Stoicism as well as on the writings of Renaissance authors like Sir Philip Sidney who borrowed from Seneca the word "idea" to designate what we would now label as a "theory" of tragedy. Seneca and the Idea of Tragedy will appeal broadly to students and scholars of classics ancient philosophy and English literature. ; 200 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover‎

‎READING VIRGIL AND HIS TEXTS Studies in Intertextuality‎

‎University of Michigan Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0472108972 . 1 corner bumped. Minor shelfwear. Light pencil marginalia to a couple of pages. DJ has some minor creasing. ; There has long been vital interest in the ways that texts affect each other--through translation imitation parody and other forms of emulation and subversion. Throughout the last two millennia the Virgilian text has created its own intertextual heritage persisting in the works of Eliot Frost Lowell and Heaney. Richard F. Thomas's new volume demonstrates that such control and manipulation of the inherited tradition is to be found with great intensity in the very author who in turn created his own complex tradition. The articles and notes included in this volume have been selected for their diachronic aspect in addition to the synchronic status they had in their original context. Dealing with the intricate ways in which Virgil and in the introductory chapter his predecessor Catullus manipulated and appropriated their inherited Greek and Roman literary tradition this book presents a coherent profile through these detailed studies of the mechanics of one of the most dynamic periods in the literary history of any culture. Richard Thomas--one of the most important voices in Latin literary studies today--shows little anxiety about objections to authorial intentionality. Throughout there is a working assumption that intertextual connections can be established and further that functions and purposes even intended ones may be inferred from those connections. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Greek and Latin literature but will also be of great value to students of medieval Renaissance and early modern vernacular literatures most of whose poets see themselves as closely connected to Virgil. ; 360 pages .

In this biography Pat Southern traces the life and works of the emperor chronologically presenting idealogy and events as they occurred from Augustus' point of view including his transition from heir and successor of Julius Caesar to head of the new Principate and his development of the Roman Empire. Augustus did not have a master plan of politics and legislation but instead he had to wait and occasionally change course before he settled on a version of government that the Senate and people found acceptable. While there have been many books covering the political social and aesthetic culture of the Augustan Age this is the first book to present the life of Augustus the man. . Routledge hardcover‎
