The Closure of Space in Roman Poetics: Empire's Inward Turn
ISBN: 9781107079267 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This ambitious book investigates a major yet underexplored nexus of themes in Roman cultural history: the evolving tropes of enclosure, retreat and compressed space within expanding, potentially borderless empire. In Roman writers' exploration of real and symbolic enclosures - caves, corners, villas, bathhouses, the 'prison' of the human body itself - we see the aesthetic, philosophical and political intersecting in fascinating ways, as the machine of empire is recast in tighter and tighter shapes. Victoria Rimell brings ideas and methods from literary theory, cultural studies and philosophy...

Petronius and the Anatomy of Fiction
ISBN: 9780521037013 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Metaphors of the body form an important feature of Petronius' Satyricon. This book claims that the text can be read as a unified whole rather than as episodic jumble, despite its fragmentation. Presented as disturbing as well as comic, intricately structured as well as chaotic, the study asserts that the Satyricon's imagery constantly mirrors apparent paradoxes. Thus corporeality is explored as a metaphor rather than just as an index of the "low" genre of the novel.

Ovid's Lovers: Desire, Difference and the Poetic Imagination
ISBN: 9780521862196 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Central to Ovid's elegiac texts and his Metamorphoses is his preoccupation with how desiring subjects interact and seduce each other. This major study, which shifts the focus in Ovidian criticism from intertextuality to intersubjectivity, explores the relationship between self and other, and in particular that between male and female worlds, which is at the heart of Ovid's vision of poetry and the imagination. A series of close readings, focusing on both the more celebrated and less studied parts of the corpus, moves beyond the more often-asked questions of Ovid, such as whether he is 'for'...

Martial's Rome: Empire and the Ideology of Epigram
ISBN: 9780521828222 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This provocative book is a major contribution to our understanding of Martial's poetics, his vision of the relationship between art and reality, and his role in formulating modern perceptions of Rome. The study shows how on every scale from the microscopic to the cosmic, Martial displays epigram's ambition to enact the sociality of urban life, but also to make Rome rise out of epigram's architecture and gestures. Martial's distinctive aesthetic, grounded in paradox and inconsistency, ensures that the humblest, most throwaway poetic form is best poised to capture first century empire in all...
