‎SUR LYCOPHRON‎

‎De l'œuvre de Lycophron, l'un des sept poètes de la "Pléiade alexandrine", seul l'Alexandra, poème tragique, nous est parvenu intégralement. Conçu comme un discours énigmatique rapportant une prophétie de Cassandre, le poème déroule un tissu d'énigmes qui, au cours des siècles, a fasciné des lecteurs comme Virgile, Stace, Eustathe, cependant qu'il s'attirait la critique de certains autres comme Lucien de Samosate ou Clément d’Alexandrie. L'obscurité de ce discours prophétique, tantôt glorifié, tantôt honni, a valu au poète le qualificatif de "Mallarmé de l'antiquité". Le présent volume offre au lecteur le résultat de plusieurs années de recherche et réunit un ensemble de réflexions menées sur l'oeuvre de Lycophron. Il donne ainsi des clefs pour la compréhension de ce texte complexe, mais également pour en apprécier la poésie. ; Recherches Et Rencontres Vol. 29; 170 pages‎

‎AUTHOR AND AUDIENCE IN LATIN LITERATURE‎

‎Former owner's name to ffep else Book is fine. Very Minor shelfwear to DJ ; 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
