‎THE TWO WORLDS OF THE POET New Perspectives on Vergil‎

‎Very light shelfwear to book and DJ else fine. ; 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

‎HORACE AND HIS LYRIC POETRY‎

‎Book has light shelfwear. Scholar's name to ffep (Philippa Goold née Forder). Dustjacket has chipping with small tears. DJ is browned. ; Horace is viewed as the poet of the Odes and Epodes -- the incomparable genius of the lyric form, and a sympathetic and engaging character. Like most Roman poets, Horace was not inventive in subject-matter -- rather it is the manner of his writing, his mastery of form, rhythm and cadence that have charmed and captivated his readers for centuries. This is the aspect of Horace that is studied here, with much grace and insight, with profound and liberal scholarship, and with a readily communicated affection. ; 192 pages‎

‎OVID SURVEYED An Abridgement for the General Reader of 'ovid Recalled'‎

‎Spine creased and a little discolored. Rubbing to wraps. Sticker stains to front wrap. 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

From the library of George M Foster.This study analyzes the impact of Spanish rule on Indian peasant identity in the late colonial period by investigating three areas of social behavior. Based on the criminal trial records and related documents from the regions of central Mexico and Oaxaca it attempts to discover how peasants conceived of their role under Spanish rule how they behaved under various kinds of street and how they felt about their Spanish overlords. In examining the character of village uprisings typical relationships between killers and the people they killed and the drinking patterns of the late colonial period the author finds no warrant for the familiar picture of sullen depredation and despair. Landed persants of colonial Mexico drank moderately on the whole and mostly on ritual occasions; they killed for personal and not political reasons. Only when new Spanish encroachments threatened their lands and livelihoods did their grievances flare up in rebellion and these occasions were numerous but brief. The author bolsters his conclusions with illuminating comparisons with other peasant societies.George McClelland Foster Jr was born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 and died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus.

‎FIGURES OF THOUGHT IN ROMAN POETRY‎

‎Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (Robert Brown). Hard bump to lower edge of front board. Tiny sticker damage to ffep. Else book is VG. DJ has chipping and tears. DJ is somewhat tatty and a bit soiled to rear panel. ; 312 pages; It has long been assumed that the language of Roman poetry was constructed under the dictates of elaborately defined rules of rhetoric, and its content determined according to the system of comparable classifications called invention. This belief has persisted in spite of the difficulty of fitting the works of Catullus, Horace, Virgil, Propertius, and Tibullus into such a rigid scheme. In this book Gordon Williams demonstrates that, although Ovid and his successors did indeed assimilate their poetry to the rhetorical rules devised for prose, the earlier poets employed a quite different method. Williams sees this method as falling into either a metaphorical or metonymic mode, both of which permitted the poet "to say one thing and mean another." Delicate and often startling transitions of thought could be grasped-though not necessarily on first reading-by readers "assumed by the poet to have a special access to the poet's process of thought." This access presupposed similarities of "education, social position, and sympathetic understanding." Through close analyses of many poems, Williams shows how poets in the fifty years before Horace's death exploited metaphor, metonymy, and a third device that he calls thematic anticipation to evoke subtle associations of thought. In doing so he elucidates problems of Latin poems that have been generally misunderstood almost since they day they were written.‎
