DJ has minor edgewear.; An examination of the main characters in the Aeneid - Aeneas himself Dido and Turnus - in the light of Virgil's contemporary Augustan political and literary ideology. The characters and the plot and incident of the epic are seen as embodying and exemplifying first the ancient ideals of kingship and concord and second the Roman self-identification as at once 'Italian' and 'Trojan' and finally as reflecting the literary self-evaluation of the Augustan age. In the literary area Virgil's relations with contemporary Roman elegy with early Greek lyric and most important with Homer are studied and reevaluated. Virgilian scholars and students of Augustan literature in general will find this book of interest to them.; 296 pages . 1989. 0521353580 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

DJ has 1 small tear with very minor chipping.; Machon was a writer of Comedies who lived and worked in Alexandria in the middle of the third century B. C. All of his work that survives is preserved in the Deipnosophistae of Athenaeus who besides two fragments of Comedies of no great importance quotes also 462 verses from a collection of anecdotes which Machon called Xpeiai. These anecdotes are written in the iambic verse of Comedy. They are concerned with the doings and sayings of courtesans parasites and musicians sometimes in relation to persons of historical importance. They are often scabrous but also not infrequently amusing; and they are of considerable interest both as documents of social history and as a type of literature which though popular in antiquity has hardly survived. The Xpeiai which present many problems of reading and interpretation have never before been separately edited. Recent editors of Athenaeus have improved the text; but to find commentaries it is necessary to go back to Casaubon's edition of Athenaeus published in 1600 and to Schweighauser's published in 1801-7.; Cambridge Classical Texts and Commentaries 1; 172 pages . 1965. 0521056314 .

DJ has light edgewear with a bit of creasing.; The angry emotions and the problems they presented were an ancient Greek preoccupation from Homer to late antiquity. From the first lines of the Iliad to the church fathers of the fourth century A. D. the control or elimination of rage was an obsessive concern. From the Greek world it passed to the Romans. Drawing on a wide range of ancient texts and on recent work in anthropology and psychology Restraining Rage explains the rise and persistence of this concern. W. V. Harris shows that the discourse of anger-control was of crucial importance in several different spheres in politics--both republican and monarchical--in the family and in the slave economy. He suggests that it played a special role in maintaining male domination over women. He explores the working out of these themes in Attic tragedy in the great Greek historians in Aristotle and the Hellenistic philosophers and in many other kinds of texts. From the time of Plato onward educated Greeks developed a strong conscious interest in their own psychic health. Emotional control was part of this. Harris offers a new theory to explain this interest and a history of the anger-therapy that derived from it. He ends by suggesting some contemporary lessons that can be drawn from the Greek and Roman experience.; 480 pages . 2002. 0674006186 . Harvard University Press hardcover

Large tear to DJ repaired with cellotape with a few tears with some loss.; Cambridge Classical Studies; 200 pages; Although Ovid is currently enjoying a new wave of popularity most critics withhold from his poetry the close word-by-word readings that are necessary for a thorough understanding of it. Ovid twice treated the myth of Persephone and Hinds's book is at first a historical inquiry--the most extensive yet done--into the double transformation in Metamorphosis 5 and Fasti 4 of the rape of Persephone one of the great Graeco-Roman myths. The study continues as a critical exploration of Ovid's self-conscious delight in language and in writing manifested in these twin narratives providing a feast for students of both Latin poetry and narratives in general. . 1987. 052133506X .

Light rubbing and faint soiling to DJ.; This is the first book to describe the intimate relationship between Latin literature and the politics of ancient Rome. Until now most scholars have viewed classical Latin literature as a product of aesthetic concerns. Thomas Habinek shows however that literature was also a cultural practice that emerged from and intervened in the political and social struggles at the heart of the Roman world. Habinek considers major works by such authors as Cato Cicero Horace Ovid and Seneca. He shows that from its beginnings in the late third century b. C. To its eclipse by Christian literature six hundred years later classical literature served the evolving interests of Roman and more particularly aristocratic power. It fostered a prestige dialect for example; it appropriated the cultural resources of dominated and colonized communities; and it helped to defuse potentially explosive challenges to prevailing values and authority. Literature also drew upon and enhanced other forms of social authority such as patriarchy religious ritual cultural identity and the aristocratic procedure of self-scrutiny or existimatio. Habinek's analysis of the relationship between language and power in classical Rome breaks from the long Romantic tradition of viewing Roman authors as world-weary figures aloof from mundane political concerns--a view he shows that usually reflects how scholars have seen themselves. The Politics of Latin Literature will stimulate new interest in the historical context of Latin literature and help to integrate classical studies into ongoing debates about the sociology of writing.; 248 pages . 1998. 0691068275 .

DJ has very minor shelfwear.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 281 pages; This book is a response to the literary pleasures and scholarly problems of reading the texts of Apuleius most famous for his novel Metamorphoses or Golden Ass. Living in second-century North Africa Apuleius was more than an author of fiction; he was a consummate orator and professional intellectual Platonist philosopher extraordinary stylist relentless self-promoter and versatile author of a remarkably diverse body of work much of which is lost to us. This book is written for those able to read Apuleius in Latin and Apuleian works are accordingly quoted without translation although where they exist suitable translations have been indicated. In this book Dr Harrison has provided a literary handbook to all the works of Apuleius as well as the Metamorphoses and has set his works against their intellectual background: not only Apuleius' career as a performing intellectual a sophist in second-century Roman North Africa but also the larger contemporary framework of the Greek Second Sophistic. While focusing primarily on the texts as literature and literary-historical the book also deals with Apuleius' works of didactic philosophy and his consequent connection with Middle Platonism. . 2000. 0198140533 .

DJ has creasing and 1 tear repaired with clear tape along upper edge.; 2 x 10 x 8 Inches; 340 pages; Roman epic lays firm claim to being Western civilization's prime literary form. Roman Epic draws together 14 critically and methodologically distinct essays focusing on particular epicists their reaction to influence on and rewriting of each other. The book examines the formation and transformation of Roman epic from its beginnings in the third century B. C. Saturnian poets Livius and Naevius to the Renaissance Latin epic of Petrarch and Vida. What results is the revelation of Roman epic not only as Rome's highest poetic genre but as a self-consciously intertextual primarily political form. The Roman epicist's creative exploitation of his predecessors is not restricted to stylistic similarities and generic codes but often encompasses more important levels of social moral and political meaning. In the Roman tradition the epic form shows an impetus to reform the celebratory values implicit in the form itself admitting a plurality of interactive often critical narrative voices. This book reveals how the epic developed and critically considers the generic and literary tradition to which the texts belong. It demonstrates epic's critical significance for the foundational culture of the Western world. . 1993. 0415042305 . Routledge hardcover

Fantham.; A comprehensive survey of Roman theatrical production this book examines all aspects of Roman performance practice and provides fresh insights on the comedies of Plautus and Terence. Following an introductory chapter on the experience of Roman comedy from the perspective of Roman actors and the Roman audience addressing among other things the economic concerns of putting on a play in the Roman republic subsequent chapters provide detailed studies of troupe size and the implications for role assignment masks stage action music and improvisation in the plays of Plautus and Terence. Marshall argues that Roman comedy was raw comedy much more rough-and-ready than its Hellenistic precursors but still fully conscious of its literary past. The consequences of this lead to fresh conclusions concerning the dramatic structure of Roman comedy and a clearer understanding of the relationship between the plays-as-text and the role of improvisation during performance.; 336 pages . 2006. 0521861616 .
