‎AUTHOR AND AUDIENCE IN LATIN LITERATURE‎

‎2 corners lightly bumped. Else minor shelfwear to book. DJ has small tears and chippin to spine ends and upper corners. ; 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

‎THE APEIRON OF ANAXIMANDER A Study in the Origin and Function of Metaphysical Ideas‎

‎Former owner's name to ffep. Very light bump to top of spine. DJ has 1 small closed tear to top edge. Minor shelfwear to DJ. ; This study is founded upon an examination of technical problems of textual exegesis and testimony surrounding Axaximander's Apeiron. Includes discussion of controversial ideas within classical scholarship, the author's further purpose is to analyse the 'key idea' of the first Greek philosopher in terms of the function which it performed in his cosmological scheme and of the evolution of early Greek thought from the stage of mythical notions and beliefs to that of distinctly philosophical inquiry. Dr. Seligman offers a new interpretation of the main phases of Hesiod's Theogony, and an illuminating account of the relation between on the one hand abstract and metaphysical and on the other concrete, representational thinking. ; 181 pages‎

‎SINGERS, HEROES, AND GODS IN THE ODYSSEY‎

‎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

‎BRITISH CLASSICS OUTSIDE ENGLAND The Academy and Beyond‎

‎Stamp to foreedges of pages "review copy". 1 corner bumped. Very minor shelfwear to DJ. ; The essays in this informative book explore the impact of British classics--the study of Greco-Roman antiquity, with an emphasis on the classical Latin and Greek languages--beyond the borders of England itself, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries: inside the academy as specialized scholarship and teaching, outside the academy as a mode of social and cultural formation. Not only did British classics permeate England; they brought English values to Scotland, Wales, and America as well. Far into the twentieth century, to learn classics "the Oxbridge way" was to cloak oneself in the mantle of a gentleman even when the "gentleman" was a woman. ; 230 pages‎

‎WRITTEN TEXTS AND THE RISE OF LITERATE CULTURE IN ANCIENT GREECE‎

‎Book is fine. DJ has small chip to top of spine and light shelfwear. ; The landmark developments of Greek culture and the critical works of Greek thought and literature were accompanied by an explosive growth in the use of written texts from the sixth through the fourth centuries B. C. E. The creation of the "classical" and the perennial use of Greece by later European civilizations as a source of knowledge and inspiration would not have taken place without the textual innovations of the classical period. This book considers how writing, reading, and disseminating texts led to new ways of thinking and new forms of expression and behavior. ; 272 pages‎

Chapters on the major plays analyse their techniques of construction and characterization, suggesting both the strengths and the limitations of Menander's comic tradition. An introductory chapter places the tradition of New Comedy in the history of drama and also draws modern parrallels, making it useful for students of drama aswell as classicists. ; Signed by Author‎

‎THE RHETORIC OF THE ROMAN FAKE Latin Pseudepigrapha in Context‎

‎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
