THE GREEK AND ROMAN CRITICS
University of Toronto Press. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1965. Hardcover. Minor Shelfwear to book. Light browning to DJ. Plastic is lifting off DJ. Small tear to back corner near spine. Minor edgewear to DJ. ; During the thousand years which separate Homer from Plotinus the Greeks and Romans not only created two great literatures and most of our literary genres; they also developed theories of literature and methods of criticism. These though very different from our own have nevertheless greatly influenced modern thinking especially during the early centuries of our modern literatures. Poets like Pindar Aristophanes and Horace philosophers like Plato aristotle and Philodemus orators like Cicero and Quintilian literary scholars like Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Longinus all these have left us records of their various points of view. In this book Professor Grube who is a recognized authority in this field gives us a clear full and reliable analysis of the ancient critical texts and traces the birth and developments of critical thinking thoughout the classical centuries. ; 372 pages .

CHAUCER'S TROILUS AND CRISEYDE AND THE KNIGHT'S TALE Fictions Used

Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket. ; 0.55 x 8.5 x 5.59 Inches; 126 pages; This book examines "Troilus and Criseyde" and "The Knight's Tale" as poems which work the same plot to contrasting tragic and joyous endings but for the same purpose of exploring the folly of electing the temporal world over the eternal. It demonstrates that the tragedy of "Troilus and Criseyde" is a consequence of the folly of relying on Fortune and temporal bliss and works through the pattern of a similar dependence in "The Knight's Tale." It then develops the portrayal of the protagonists of the poems as Fortune's Fools through a scrutiny of courtship as game of play of "caritas" and "cupiditas" contrasted with the implications of pity mercy grace and love as used in temporal contexts in the poem but defined theologically elsewhere in Chaucer and of the limitations of knighthood and chivalry as defined by the world of the poems. .

Meier clearly shows that Caesar early on established himself as a man whose unique drive self-confidence and detachment would bring him into continual conflict with established institutions. What were the political and social forces that shaped and challenged this extraordinary individual And how did this larger-than-life leader truly affect the fate of the Roman republic and the course of history Internationally renowned historian Christian Meier explores these questions in the most authoritative and accessible account ot Julius Caesar's life career and legacy. .

Prone to violence including rape assault and extortion the poet was employed first at domestic personal service and subsequently at policework of various sorts protecting the established order during a period of massive social upset. Chaucer's Jobs shows that the servile and disciplinary nature of the daily work Chaucer did was repeated in his poetry which by turns flatters his aristocratic betters and deals out discipline to malcontent others. Carlson contends that it was this social and political quality of Chaucer's writings rathen than artistic merit that made him the "Father of English Poetry." . Palgrave Macmillan hardcover

Light Bumping to bottom of spine. ; Ancient Society and History; 1.68 x 8.76 x 8.78 Inches; 632 pages; Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. But in Constantine and the Bishops historian H. A. Drake offers a fresh and more nuanced understanding of Constantine's rule and especially of his relations with Christians. Constantine Drake suggests was looking not only for a god in whom to believe but also a policy he could adopt. Uncovering the political motivations behind Constantine's policies Drake shows how those policies were constructed to ensure the stability of the empire and fulfill Constantine's imperial duty in securing the favor of heaven. Despite the emperor's conversion to Christianity Drake concludes Rome remained a world filled with gods and with men seeking to depose rivals from power. A book for students and scholars of ancient history and religion Constantine and the Bishops shows how Christian belief motivated and gave shape to imperial rule. .

AESCHINES AND ATHENIAN POLITICS
Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1995. Hardcover. 0195082850 . 0.88 x 9.4 x 6.34 Inches; 248 pages; Filling a major gap in scholarship this is the first full-length study of the Athenian politician Aeschines. Along with Isocrates Aeschines was one of the most prominent Athenian politicians who advocated friendly ties with the Macedonian king Philip II. Though overshadowed by his famous rival Demosthenes Aeschines played a key role in the decisive events that marked the rise of Macedonian power in Greece and formed the transition from the Classical to the Hellenistic period. Three long speeches by Aeschines all delivered in court battles with his opponent Demosthenes have been preserved and provide us with valuable information about Athenian politics during a major turning point in Greek history.

THE VISION OF CHRISTINE DE PIZAN Translated from the French.
D. S. Brewer. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2005. Hardcover. 1843840588 . A small puncture mark at the lower back joint. Ex-library copy with usual stamps and pocket though I believe this was never in circulation. ; The Library of Medieval Women; 0.94 x 8.43 x 5.59 Inches; 199 pages; Christine de Pizan also seen as de Pisan 1364�1430 was a writer and analyst of the medieval era who strongly challenged the clerical misogyny and stereotypes that were prevalent in the male-dominated realm of the arts. De Pizan completed forty-one pieces during her thirty-year career 1399�1429. She earned her accolade as Europe�s first professional woman writer Redfern 74. Her success stems from a wide range of innovative writing and rhetorical techniques that critically challenged renowned male writers such as Jean de Meun who to Pizan�s dismay incorporated misogynist beliefs within their literary works. In recent decades de Pizan's work has been returned to prominence by the efforts of scholars such as Charity Cannon Willard and Earl Jeffrey Richards. Certain scholars have argued that she should be seen as an early feminist who efficiently used language to convey that women could play an important role within society although this characterisation has been challenged by other critics who claim either that it is an anachronistic use of the word or that her beliefs were not progressive enough to merit such a designation Richards 1-2. .

HADRIAN AND THE CITIES OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE
Princeton University Press. Very Good in Fine dust jacket. 2000. Hardcover. 0691048894 . Remainder mark to bottom of textblock else Fine. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 243 pages; Cities throughout the Roman Empire flourished during the reign of Hadrian A. D. 117-138 a phenomenon that not only strengthened and legitimized Roman dominion over its possessions but also revealed Hadrian as a masterful negotiator of power relationships. In this comprehensive investigation into the vibrant urban life that existed under Hadrian's rule Mary T. Boatwright focuses on the emperor's direct interactions with Rome's cities exploring the many benefactions for which he was celebrated on coins and in literary works and inscriptions. Although such evidence is often as imprecise as it is laudatory its collective analysis undertaken for the first time together with all other related material reveals that over 130 cities received at least one benefaction directly from Hadrian. The benefactions mediated by members of the empire's municipal elite touched all aspects of urban life they included imperial patronage of temples and hero tombs engineering projects promotion of athletic and cultural competitions settlement of boundary disputes and remission of taxes. .

Unwrapped in Plastic. ; Publications of the Netherlands Institute at Athens; 0.5 x 9.25 x 6 Inches; 195 pages; The period when the tyrants dominated Athens is a very intriguing one. The historiographical evidence is of a late date and often of a puzzling nature. Connections between historiography and the archaeological evidence are not unproblematic. Is the traditional interpretation of the Peisistratids as sponsors of the arts sufficiently documented in our sources What was the nature of the resistance they met with What did the Athenian army look like in the second half of the sixth century What was the level of institutional organisation of the Athenian state in this period How does the tyranny compare to anthropological theory These are the questions addressed in this volume by a group of Dutch archaeologists and ancient historians. .
