Book Synopsis Munere mortis by : Eftychia Bathrellou
Download or read book Munere mortis written by Eftychia Bathrellou and published by Cambridge Philological Society. This book was released on 2022-10-31 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colin Austin (1941–2010), Professor of Greek at Cambridge and distinguished editor of poetic texts, was renowned for the precision and brilliance of his scholarship. This collection of studies, offered by some of his pupils, aims to honor his memory. The papers combine philology and textual criticism with a strong interest in setting the works under examination in their literary and cultural context. Individual contributions are devoted to the establishment of the text of the comic poet Menander and the epigrammatist Posidippus of Pella, while one chapter offers a new critical edition of and the first detailed commentary on a number of erotic epigrams. Other essays explore poetic, performative and narratological features in Socratic works of Plato and Xenophon. The volume also includes an analysis of the trope of pathetic fallacy in the bucolic poem Epitaph for Bion and a study of the concept of ‘frigidity’ in ancient literary criticism.
Download or read book Carpe Diem written by Robert A. Rohland and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carpe diem – 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die!' – is a prominent motif throughout ancient literature and beyond. This is the first book-length examination of its significance and demonstrates that close analysis can make a key contribution to a question that is central to literary studies in and beyond Classics: how can poetry give us the almost magical impression that something is happening here and now? In attempting an answer, Robert Rohland gives equal attention to Greek and Latin texts, as he offers new interpretations of well-known poems from Horace and tackles understudied epigrams. Pairing close readings of ancient texts along with interpretations of other forms of cultural production such as gems, cups, calendars, monuments, and Roman wine labels, this interdisciplinary study transforms our understanding of the motif of carpe diem.

Book Synopsis Earthly Immortalities by : Peter Moore
Download or read book Earthly Immortalities written by Peter Moore and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2019-06-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thought-provoking book, Peter Moore examines the often overlooked issues concerning human mortality, the fragile ways in which the dead can be said to “live on” in earthly terms: through their children, their work, the memories of others, their possessions, and even their bodies. Such earthly immortalities raise a host of fascinating questions about our attitudes toward life, and toward the world we leave behind us when we die. To what extent does the meaning we find in our lives depend upon the assumption there will always be a new generation to continue the human adventure? What would it be like if science were able to extend life indefinitely, and is this something already enshrined in the doctrine of reincarnation? Can we solve our anxieties about mortality by learning that life is worth living precisely because we do not live forever? In a generous and eloquent account, these and more are the questions Earthly Immortalities seeks to answer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Los Angeles Times Favorite Book and a Washington Post Best of 2008: “A book worthy of Keats—full of feeling and drama and those fleeting moments we call genius.”—Ted Genoways, Washington Post Book World John Keats’s famous epitaph—”Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water”—helped cement his reputation as the archetype of the genius cut off before his time. In this close narrative study, Stanley Plumly meditates on the chances for poetic immortality, an idea that finds its purest expression in Keats. Incisive in its observations and beautifully written, Posthumous Keats is an ode to an unsuspecting young poet—a man who, against the odds of his culture and critics, managed to achieve the unthinkable: the elevation of the lyric poem to sublime and tragic status.
Book Synopsis Impossible Desire and the Limits of Knowledge in Renaissance Poetry by : Wendy Beth Hyman
Download or read book Impossible Desire and the Limits of Knowledge in Renaissance Poetry written by Wendy Beth Hyman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Impossible Desire and the Limits of Knowledge in Renaissance Poetry examines the limits of embodiment, knowledge, and representation at a disregarded nexus: the erotic carpe diem poem in early modern England. These macabre seductions offer no compliments or promises, but instead focus on the lovers' anticipated decline, and—quite stunningly given the Reformation context—humanity's relegation not to a Christian afterlife but to a Marvellian 'desert of vast Eternity.' In this way, a poetic trope whose classical form was an expression of pragmatic Epicureanism became, during the religious upheaval of the Reformation, an unlikely but effective vehicle for articulating religious doubt. Its ambitions were thus largely philosophical, and came to incorporate investigations into the nature of matter, time, and poetic representation. Renaissance seduction poets invited their auditors to participate in a dangerous intellectual game, one whose primary interest was expanding the limits of knowledge. The book theorizes how Renaissance lyric's own fragile relationship to materiality and time, and its self-conscious relationship to making, positioned it to grapple with these 'impossible' metaphysical and representational problems. Although attentive to poetics, the book also challenges the commonplace view that the erotic invitation is exclusively a lyrical mode. Carpe diem's revival in post-Reformation Europe portends its radicalization, as debates between man and maid are dramatized in disputes between abstractions like chastity and material facts like death. Offered here is thus a theoretical reconsideration of the generic parameters and aspirations of the carpe diem trope, wherein questions about embodiment and knowledge are also investigations into the potentialities of literary form.

Book Synopsis Leviathan's Glass by : Deborah Barnett
Download or read book Leviathan's Glass written by Deborah Barnett and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equal armed cross is a symbol as old as mankind, predating the modern cross by millennia. It represents the crossing point between body and spirit. For the true adept there is another crossing line which bisects the two. The true light of gnosis is represented by this line. At this point reality and dreams blend and sit not altogether comfortably together. What seems mundane, what could be ordinary can be transformed into the truly magical at the point of crossing The Abyss between the Great Sea and the place wherein true wisdom dwells. The experience differs for every adept and this book is not intended to be a definitive work on crossing The Abyss. Rather it is designed to open up those centres receptive to the primeval forces which of necessity need to be released, tamed and then banished. Love is the law, love under will. Where the three forces meet then either chaos ensues or order is created from chaos.
