Jonson, Horace and the Classical Tradition
ISBN: 9781316501641 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The influence of the Roman poet Horace on Ben Jonson has often been acknowledged, but never fully explored.

The new reading of Jonson's classicism that emerges is one founded not upon static imitation, but rather a lively dialogue between competing models - an allusive mode that extends into the...
