ISBN: 9780199231249 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The literature and art of Augustan Rome are often thought of as the product of an age of high classicism, characterized by maturity, balance, and harmony.

The volume includes chapters by some of the leading experts in the Augustan period as well as a number of younger scholars. It will be of interest to all students of...

Lucretius' didactic poem De rerum natura ('On the Nature of Things') is an impassioned and visionary presentation of the materialist philosophy of Epicurus, and one of the most powerful poetic texts of antiquity.

The Epic Successors of Virgil: A Study in the Dynamics of a Tradition
ISBN: 9780521425629 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book is a critically sophisticated introduction to the epic tradition of the early Roman empire, specifically the epic poems of Ovid, Lucan, Statius, Valerius Flaccus, and Silius Italicus. It explores the use that they all make of the great Augustan epic of Virgil, the Aeneid. Instead of being feeble imitations of the great classic (a common critical viewpoint), these poems are shown to be dynamic works that use the Virgilian model creatively to reflect the moral and political issues of their own day. All Latin is translated.

Augustan Poetry and the Irrational
ISBN: 9780198724728 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The establishment of the Augustan regime presents itself as the assertion of order and rationality in the political, ideological, and artistic spheres, after the disorder and madness of the civil wars of the late Republic. But the classical, Apollonian poetry of the Augustan period is fascinated by the irrational in both the public and private spheres. There is a vivid memory of the political and military furor that destroyed the Republic, and also an anxiety that furor may resurface, that the repressed may return. Epic and elegy are both obsessed with erotic madness: Dido...

Virgil's Aeneid: Cosmos and Imperium
ISBN: 9780198146919 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Romans saw an analogy between the ordered workings of the natural universe and the proper functioning of their own expanding empire, between orbis and urbs. Philip Hardie's new work explores Virgil's poetic and mythic transformation of this imperialist ideology with reference to such traditions as the poet/cosmologer, the use of allegory to extract natural-philosophical truths from mythology and poetry, poetic hyperbole, and the "universal expression."

Central are the personifications of Fama in Virgil and Ovid and the rich progeny spawned by them, but the book focuses on a wide range...
