WOMEN IN THE ANCIENT WORLD The Arethusa Papers

1984 — Creasing to spine. Light Edgewear to wraps. Scholar's blindstamp and name to ffep (Robert Brown). ; One of the reasons for the study of the Greek and Roman classics is their perpetual relevance. In no other area can this position be more clearly defended than in the investigation of the feminine condition, for it was here that basic attitudes derogatory to the sex were molded by legal and social systems, by philosophers and poets, and by the thinking of men long since gone. Women in the Ancient World brings together essays that examine philosophy, social history, literature, and art, and that extend from the early Greek period through the Roman Empire. Their wide range of critical perspectives throws new light on the personal, political, socio-economic, and cultural position of women; 377 pages

WILD JUSTICE A Study of Euripides' Hecuba

1995 — Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. Minor Shelfwear. Review of book by Marsh McCall tipped in (signed by Mccall to Philippa Goold). ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 283 pages; Euripides' Hecuba is is dominated by the vengence which Hecuba takes on the faithless Polymestor, and explores in a complex and profound manner the potential of revenge as a subject for tragedy. The sacrifice of Polyxena is in counterpoint to the revenge action; the whole is set in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of Troy. The combination of plots creates one of Eruipides' most effective dramas, full of pathos, suspense, and excitement. This, the first book-length study of the play in English, argues that it has been greatly undervalued by critics who have failed to appreciate the power of its rhetoric, the subtlety of its characterization, and the beauty of its choral odes. The book also examines and seeks to explain the powerful influence of Hecuba in the Renaissance, and compares the play with English revenge tragedy of the 16th and 17th century.

WILAMOWITZ UND KEIN ENDE Wissenschaftsgeschichtliches Kolloquium, Fondation Hardt, 9. Bis 13. September 2002. William M. Calder III Zum 70. Geburtstag Von Freunden Und Schülern.

2003 — Gift inscription to W. J. Slater from Calder III to titlepage. Very minor shelfwear. Light wear to back upper corner. ; Die Festschrift vereinigt die Vorträge amerikanischer und deutscher Wissenschaftler, die anläßlich des 70. Geburtstags William M. Calders III (Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois) im September 2002 auf einem Kolloquium in der Fondation Hardt (Vandœuvres/Genf) gehalten wurden. Zu Ehren des Jubilars, der sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten um die Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Altertumskunde international anerkannte Verdienste erworben hat, war dieses Kolloquium dem großen deutschen Gräzisten Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848-1931) gewidmet. Die Vielfalt wissenschaftsgeschichtlicher Fragestellungen spiegelt sich in den Beiträgen wider: Während sich die einen mit Wilamowitz' Forschungen über antike Schriftsteller, wie Sophokles, Aristophanes, Seneca und die Autoren des griechischen Romans, und mit seiner Arbeit über unterschiedlichste Bereiche antiker Kultur, etwa die Astrologie, das griechisch-römische Drama und die attische Demokratie, beschäftigen, erhellt ein anderer, welche allgemeine Bedeutung für die Kultur und Bildung des 19. Jahrhunderts Wilamowitz dem Griechischen zumaß. Weitere Studien sind hingegen von biographischem und historischem Interesse und gelten z. B. Seiner Haltung zu Meinungsfreiheit und politischer Zensur. Nicht zuletzt werden in diesem Band wichtige Originaldokumente erstmals ediert, so der umfängliche Briefwechsel zwischen Wilamowitz und dem Altertumswissenschaftler Franz Boll. ; Spudasmata Band 92; 324 pages; Signed by One Author
