The Ancient Lives of Virgil: Literary and Historical Studies
ISBN: 9781910589618 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Ancient Lives of the poet Virgil, written in prose (and sometimes in verse), have long enjoyed great, though controversial, influence. Modern critics have often been scornful of these Lives, for trying to construct biography of the poet from allegorical reading of his verse. Yet some elements of the Lives are trusted, and quietly adopted as canonical, most notably the dating of Virgil's death. Some vignettes in the Lives have been cherished for their image of an emotive poet, as when Virgil, by evoking in verse the premature death of Augustus' nephew Marcellus, caused the young man's...

Conington's Virgil: Aeneid VII - IX
ISBN: 9781904675259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 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....

Lucretius and the Early Modern
ISBN: 9780198713845 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The rediscovery in the fifteenth century of Lucretius' De rerum natura was a challenge to received ideas. The poem offered a vision of the creation of the universe, the origins and goals of human life, and the formation of the state, all without reference to divine intervention. It has been hailed in Stephen Greenblatt's best-selling book, The Swerve, as the poem that invented modernity. But how modern did early modern readers want to become?
