THE POLITICS OF PEARL Court Poetry in the Age of Richard II
D. S. Brewer. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0859915999 . Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. 'Write-off' has been stamped to top of textblock. Book appears unread. Very light shelfwear. ; 0.63 x 9.21 x 6.14 Inches; 264 pages; This is an entirely new and original reading of 'Pearl' placing the anonymous masterpiece in the context of the Cheshire coterie that flourished at the court of Richard II during the 1390s. The brilliance of its poetic construction has long been acknowledged but here 'Pearl' is also shown to engage with the social religious and political events of the late fourteenth century. The poem's defense of infant baptism is seen as countering Lollard criticism of the sacraments its retelling of the Parable of the Vineyard as offering scriptural support to the aims of the Statute of Labourers. The poem's dazzling representation of aristocratic magnificence - jewelled crowns gem-embroidered gowns livery badges civic processions and monumental architecture - studied in this context relates to the spectacular royal culture of one of England's most ambitious monarchs. The courtly elegy offered consolation after the death of Anne of Bohemia while its vision of a royal child-bride figured in the intense national debate over the king's prospective marriage to the six-year-old Isabelle of France. Richard II's fall from power brought to an end not simply Cheshire privilege but also a poetic tradition that produced some of the finest works of English literature most notably 'Pearl' and 'Gawain and the Green Knight'. .

Very light shelfwear to heel of spine else Fine. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 1.11 x 8.74 x 5.7 Inches; 424 pages; The era of Diocletan and Constantine is a significant period for the Roman empire with far-reaching administrative changes that established the structure of government for three hundred years - a time when the Christian church passed from persecution to imperial favour. It is also a complex period of co-operation and rivalry between a number of co-emperors the result of Diocletian's experiment of government by four rulers the tetrarchs. This book examines imperial government at this crucial but often neglected period of transition through a study of the the pronouncement that the emperors and their officials produced drawing together material from a wide variety of sources: the law codes Christian authors inscritpions and papyri. The study covers the format composition and promulgation of documents and includes chronological catalogues of imperial letters and edicts as well as extended discussions of the Gregorian and Hermogenian Codes and the ambitious Prices Edict. Much of this has had little detailed coverage in English before. There is also a chapter that elucidates the relative powers of the members of the imperial college. Finally Dr Corcoran assesses how effectively the machinery of government really matched the ambitions of the emperors. . Oxford University Press hardcover

POLITICS AND SCRIPT Aspects of Authority and Freedom in the Development of Graeco-Latin Script from the Sixth Century B. C. to the Twentieth Century A. D.

Dustjacket has edgewear with minor chipping and a few tears some repaired with adhesive tape. ; The Lyell lectures; 361 pages; The central argument of Stanley Morison's work is that the development of script inscriptional calligraphic or typographical has been the result of changes in religious or political environment of friction between church and state and of the schism between Eastern and Western Christendom. Morison begins with an example of alphabetic forms on a 6th century BC gravestone from Melos and proceeds through commentary on a notable collection of more than 180 illustrated specimens to trace the career of the Graeco-Roman alphabet up to its use in newspaper typefaces of the 1950s. He also seeks to show that the most widely used printers' typefaces of the twentieth century owe more to their Greek than to their Roman antecedents. . Oxford Clarendon Press hardcover

Staples Ariadne
FROM GOOD GODDESS TO VESTAL VIRGINS Sex and Category in Roman Religion
Routledge. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1998. Hardcover. 0415132339 . Very minor edgewear to top corners of DJ else Fine. ; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures such as Agrippina and Livia their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions. . Routledge hardcover

Cambridge University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1994. Hardcover. 0521401356 . Publisher's remainder mark to bottom of textblock small black dot. Small tear to cloth at base of spine ~1 cm. ; 1.06 x 9.33 x 6.26 Inches; 287 pages; This book provides a detailed analysis of the conventions and techniques of performance characteristic of the Greek theatre of Menander and the subsequent Roman theatre of Plautus and Terence. Drawing on literary and archaeological sources and on scientific treatises David Wiles identifies the mask as crucial to the actor's art and shows how sophisticated the art of the mask-maker became. He also examines the other main elements which the audience learned to decode: costume voice movement etc. In order to identify features that were unique to Hellenistic theatre he contrasts Greek New Comedy with other traditions of masked comedy and shows how different Roman conventions of performance rest upon different underlying assumptions about religion marriage and class. David Wiles offers theatre historians and classicists a radical new approach to reading play texts. His book will also be useful to archaeologists seeking to understand what masks mean and how Greek and Roman theatres were used. . Cambridge University Press hardcover

DITHYRAMB TRAGEDY AND COMEDY
Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1997. Hardcover. 0198142277 . Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Minor bump to top corner. ; Sandpiper reprint of 1927 edition. ; Oxford University Press Academic Monograph Reprints; 346 pages; One of the major scholars of the 1920s and 30s concerned with the origins of Greek drama Sir Arthur Pickard-Cambridge focused in particular on the evidence derived from archaeological finds and papyri. He describes this history of the earliest stages of Greek drama as "a dispassionate attempt to ascertain historical truth or probability by methods as logical as the subject permits. "The study begins by bringing together what was known of the dithyramb and argues against Aristotle's statement that tragedy originated from the leaders of the dithyramb and against the theory put forward by Sir William Ridgeway that it originated in performances at the tombs of dead heroes. .

CHANGES IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Essays in the Ordinary
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0691036012 . Dustjacket and book have minor shelfwear and rubbing. ; 1.25 x 9.75 x 6.75 Inches; 416 pages; Written by one of the foremost historians of the Roman Empire this collection of both new and previously published essays forms a colorful picture of daily life in the Mediterranean world between A.D. 50 and 450. Here for example the author applies statistical analysis to broad groups of people on matters ranging from justice through medicine to language. In so doing he is able to substantiate general statements about routines in ordinary people's behavior and to detect within these routines the very changes that constitute history. Such analysis also shows how this era benefits from the same historiographical approaches that have so successfully elucidated sociocultural phenomena in other periods. Drawing from statistical analysis and many other historical approaches these essays on popular mores in the Roman Empire cover such topics as language and art acculturation thought and religion sex and gender cruelty and slavery and aspects of class and power relations. The author introduces the collection with several essays on historical method as it pertains to the richness of documentation and variety to be found in the region and period chosen. .
