› Find signed collectible books: 'Iambic Ideas: Essays on a Poetic Tradition from Archaic Greece to the Late Roman Empire'Book summary:Iambic Ideas, explores the concept of the 'iambic' as a genre. In a set of detailed studies, the contributors examine, across time, the idea of iambic through a wide variety of cultural settings--Greek, Hellenistic, Roman, and late antiquity. What emerges most clearly is that the 'iambic idea' is impossible to define in absolute terms: rather, the form of iambic keeps varying in response to a vast variety of historical contingencies. The variation is evident in such critical terms as the 'iambic tendency' in Sappho, the 'reusing of iambi' for Roman epodes, and even the instances of 'iambic absence' in comedy and other such related forms. In the end, what is most characteristic about the 'iambic' is its own inherent variability. [via]

The Poet and the Prince: Ovid and Augustan Discourseby Alessandro BarchiesiISBN 0520202236 (0-520-20223-6)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Poet and the Prince: Ovid and Augustan Discourse'Book summary:In this fresh assessment of Ovid's fascinating poem Fasti, Alessandro Barchiesi provides a new vision of the interaction between Ovid and the renowned ruler Augustus. Fasti, a poem about the holidays and feast days of the Roman calendar, was written while Ovid was in Rome and revised while he was in exile on the barbarian frontier, banished by Augustus from the cultured society of Rome. Ovid's work in exile evinces complicated motives; he addresses Augustus and begs him to lift the despised exile, but at the same time covertly critiques Augustus's "New Rome." Although recent scholarship has concentrated on the oppositions between poet and ruler revealed in Ovid's work, Barchiesi's analysis transcends the opposition of pro-Augustan or anti-Augustan readings. In a lively, vigorous narrative that relies on close textual analysis, Barchiesi underscores the important poetic choices as well as the political considerations made by Ovid in Fasti. Ultimately, his analysis leads us to a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between patrons and poets. Both scholars and general readers will find a newly meaningful and interesting Ovid in these pages. Translated with revisions from Il poeta e il principe: Ovido e il discorso Augusteo (1994).[via]More editions of The Poet and the Prince: Ovid and Augustan Discourse:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rituals in Ink: A Conference on Religion and Literary Production in Ancient Rome Held at Stanford University in February 2002'Book summary:Ancient rituals are frequently known through descriptions in highly literary texts only. Religious and ritual studies have used such texts rather uncritically as osourceso for a reconstruction of ritual action, literary critics have tended to neglect such longish and technically laden passages. Focussing on Rome, the contributors combine literary and ritual interest in a fresh reading of central passages of Latin elegy, epic and historiography, thus offering new perspectives on literary strategies and illustrating the importance of religion in Roman culture and literature. From the Contents D. Feeney: Interpreting sacrificial ritual [via]
