Latin Epic and Didactic Poetry: Genre, Tradition and Individuality
ISBN: 9780954384562 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The epic was a daunting genre for Latin poets and audiences alike, with poets well aware that they were part of a tradition in which innovation had to be carefully balanced with the elements laid down by their Greek forbears. These eleven papers, from a conference held in Maynooth in 2000, examine the ways in which Latin authors used the genres of epic and didactic, the reasons for the blurred distinction or margins between the two, and the historical and political context of specific poems. Supported throughout with numerous extracts in Latin and English translation, the contributions...

Myth and Poetry in Lucretius
ISBN: 9780521036801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lucretius' De Rerum Natura is a philosophical epic, devoted to the exposition of Epicurean philosophy. Since the system was materialistic, and highly critical of myth and poetry, Lucretius' use of mythological language and imagery is surprising. Dr. Gale considers the poem against the background of earlier and contemporary views of myth, and suggests that Lucretius was well aware of the tension between his two roles as poet and philosopher, and attempted to resolve it by developing a bold and innovative theory of myth and poetry.

ISBN: 9780199260355 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book gathers together some of the most important and influential scholarly articles of the last sixty to seventy years (three of which are translated into English here for the first time) on the Roman poet Lucretius. Lucretius' philosophical epic, the De Rerum Natura or On the Nature of the Universe (c.55 BC), seeks to convince its reader of the validity of the rationalist theories of the Hellenistic thinker Epicurus. The articles collected in this volume explore Lucretius' poetic and argumentative technique from a variety of perspectives, and also consider the poem in relation to its...

Virgil on the Nature of Things: The Georgics, Lucretius and the Didactic Tradition
ISBN: 9780521781114 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Virgil's agricultural poem, the Georgics, forms part of a long tradition of didactic epic going back to the archaic poet Hesiod. This book explores the relationship between the Georgics and earlier works in the didactic tradition, particularly Lucretius' De Rerum Natura ("On the Nature of Things"). It is the first comprehensive study of Virgil's use of Lucretian themes, imagery, ideas and language; it also proposes a new reading of the poem as a whole, as a confrontation between the Epicurean philosophy of Lucretius and the opposing world views of his predecessors.

Lucretious & Didactic Epic
ISBN: 9781853995576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The "De Rerum Natura" of Lucretius (?97-55 BC) is at first sight something of an oddity: a scientific treatise dealing with atomic physics, human biology and the nature of the cosmos, it is at the same time a poem of great power and intensity, one of the most important and influential literary works of its era. This book seeks to resolve the apparent contradiction by locating Lucretius' poem in the context of a very ancient tradition of didactic (or 'teaching') epic. It explores some of the ways in which Lucretius, in this attempt to convince the reader of the truth of his philosophical...

Conington's Virgil: Georgics
ISBN: 9781904675228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. John Conington's three-volume edition of The Works of Virgil, begun in 1852, has long been unavailable except in rare second-hand sets. The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its context. Well into the twentieth century Conington's Virgil remained the sine qua non for school and undergraduate students and their teachers; Conington's commentary is remarkably close and uncompromising in its engagement with the detail of Virgil's Latin, as well as its literary sensitivity; it still has much to offer the modern reader....
