Book Synopsis Fairytale in the Ancient World by : Graham Anderson
Download or read book Fairytale in the Ancient World written by Graham Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, the first modern study of the ancient fairytale, Graham Anderson asks whether the familiar children's fairytale of today existed in the ancient world. He examines texts from the classical period and finds many stories which resemble those we know today, including: * a Jewish Egyptian Cinderella * a Snow White whose enemy is the goddess Artemis * a Pied Piper at Troy. He puts forward many previously unsuspected candidates as classical variants of the modern fairytale and argues that the degree of violence and cruelty in the ancient tales means they must have been meant for adults.
Book Synopsis Metamorphosis of Language in Apuleius by : Ellen D. Finkelpearl
Download or read book Metamorphosis of Language in Apuleius written by Ellen D. Finkelpearl and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book differs from previous studies in its scope, its insistence on a variety of approaches, its emphasis on the importance of genre, and its argument that the place of the literary tradition progresses through the book. This is the first attempt to link Apuleius' allusive practices with a consideration of the emergence of the novel and the consequent tensions in generic form. The chapters on Charite, the Phaedraesque stepmother, and Isis represent experimental new directions for the interpretation of Apuleius and literary influence.

Book Synopsis Fiction as History by : Glen Warren Bowersock
Download or read book Fiction as History written by Glen Warren Bowersock and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using pagan fiction produced in Greek and Latin during the early Christian era, G. W. Bowersock investigates the complex relationship between "historical" and "fictional" truths. This relationship preoccupied writers of the second century, a time when apparent fictions about both past and present were proliferating at an astonishing rate and history was being invented all over again. With force and eloquence, Bowersock illuminates social attitudes of this period and persuasively argues that its fiction was influenced by the emerging Christian Gospel narratives. Enthralling in its breadth and enhanced by two erudite appendices, this is a book that will be warmly welcomed by historians and interpreters of literature.

Book Synopsis Bakhtin in Contexts by : Amy Mandelker
Download or read book Bakhtin in Contexts written by Amy Mandelker and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1995-11-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Russian critic M. M. Bakhtin has recently become a major figure in contemporary theory beyond his traditional influence in Slavic literary studies. Bakhtin in Contexts explores the revolutionary impact Bakhtin's ideas have carried in contemporary discussion of language, art, culture, and social science in recent years. The contributors represent a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, epitomizing the views of Russian and American specialists in those fields Bakhtin often referred to as "the human sciences." The diversity of perspective and flexibility of approach make this a unique contribution to Bakhtin studies and to the ongoing dialogue between Western and Russian theorists.
Book Synopsis Anthology of Ancient Greek Popular Literature by : William Hansen
Download or read book Anthology of Ancient Greek Popular Literature written by William Hansen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1998-04-22 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all readers in ancient Greece whiled away the hours with Homer, Plato, or Sophocles - at least, not always. Many enjoyed light reading, such as can be found in the pages of this lively anthology. Various types of popular writing - novels, short stories, books of jokes or fables, fortune-telling handbooks - trace their origins to the ancient Mediterranean. In fact, some of this literature was so successful that it remained in circulation for centuries, even into the Middle Ages. Translated into other languages, these works were the best sellers of their time and remain enjoyable reading today. They are also fascinating social documents that reveal much about the daily lives, humor, loves, anxieties, fantasies, values, and beliefs of ordinary men and women.
Book Synopsis The Bakhtin Circle and Ancient Narrative by : Robert Bracht Branham
Download or read book The Bakhtin Circle and Ancient Narrative written by Robert Bracht Branham and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2005 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin (1895-1975) has become a name to conjure with. We know this because he is now one of those thinkers everyone already knows-without necessarily having to read much of him! Doesn't everyone now know how polyphony functions, what carnival means, why language is dialogic but the novel more so, how chronotopes make possible any concrete artistic cognition and that utterances give rise to genres that last thousands of years, always the same but not the same? Like Marx and Freud in the twentieth century, or Plotinus and Plato in the fourth, a familiarity with Bakhtin's thinking is so commonly assumed, at least in the Humanities, as to be taken for granted. He is no longer an author but a field of study in his own right. As Craig Brandist (of the Bakhtin Centre at Sheffield University) reports: the works of the [Bakhtin] Circle are still appearing in Russian and English, and are already large in number...There are now several thousand works about the Bakhtin Circle.The freedom given to contributors to address any text or topic under the general rubric of The Bakhtin Circle and Ancient Narrative has produced a remarkable variety of essays ranging widely over different periods, genres, and cultures. While most of the contributors chose to explore Bakhtin's theory of genre or to take issue with his account of one genre, Greek romance, the remaining contributions defy such convenient categories. What all the essays share with one another (and those collected in Bakhtin and the Classics) is the attempt to engage Bakhtin as a reader and thinker.
