Book Synopsis Latin Epic and Didactic Poetry by : Monica Gale
Download or read book Latin Epic and Didactic Poetry written by Monica Gale and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2004-12-31 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it possible for a poet to find his own individual voice, when he is writing in a tradition so venerable and so constrained by convention as Roman epic? How do poets working in related genres - particularly didactic - conceptualize their relationship to the main epic tradition? The eleven essays in this volume, by leading scholars in the field of Roman poetry and its post-Classical receptions, consider some of the strategies which writers from Lucretius onwards have employed in negotiating their relationship with their literary forebears, and staking out a place for their own work within a tradition stretching back to Hesiod and Homer.
Book Synopsis Didactic Poetry of Greece, Rome and Beyond by : Lilah Grace Canevaro
Download or read book Didactic Poetry of Greece, Rome and Beyond written by Lilah Grace Canevaro and published by Classical Press of Wales. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here a team of established scholars offers new perspectives on poetic texts of wisdom, learning and teaching related to the great line of Greek and Latin poems descended from Hesiod. In previous scholarship, a drive to classify Greek and Latin didactic poetry has engaged with the near-total absence in ancient literary criticism of explicit discussion of didactic as a discrete genre. The present volume approaches didactic poetry from different perspectives: the diachronic, mapping the development of didactic through changing social and political landscapes (from Homer and Hesiod to Neo-Latin didactic); and the comparative, setting the Graeco-Roman tradition against a wider backdrop (including ancient near-eastern and contemporary African traditions). The issues raised include knowledge in its relation to power; the cognitive strategies of the didactic text; ethics and poetics; the interplay of obscurity and clarity, playfulness and solemnity; the authority of the teacher.

Book Synopsis Manilius and His Intellectual Background by : Katharina Volk
Download or read book Manilius and His Intellectual Background written by Katharina Volk and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first English-language monograph on Marcus Manilius, a Roman poet of the first century AD, whose Astronomica is our earliest extant comprehensive treatment of astrology. Katharina Volk brings Manilius and his world alive for modern readers by exploring the manifold intellectual traditions that have gone into shaping the Astronomica: ancient astronomy and cosmology, the history and practice of astrology, the historical and political situation at the poem's composition, the poetic and generic conventions that inform it, and the philosophical underpinnings of Manilius' world-view. What emerges is a panoroma of the cultural imagination of the Early Empire, a fascinating picture of the ways in which educated Greeks and Romans were accustomed to think and speak about the cosmos and man's place in it.

Book Synopsis The Hunt for Knowledge by : Lisa A. Whitlatch
Download or read book The Hunt for Knowledge written by Lisa A. Whitlatch and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation explores the use of hunting in five didactic poems as a means to characterize their attitudes towards the human ability to acquire true understanding. Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, Vergil's Georgics, Ovid's Ars Amatoria, Grattius' Cynegetica and Nemesianus' Cynegetica--didactic poems written in Latin from the first century BCE to the third century CE--respond to questions of human perception and knowledge in different ways, but they all use the hunt to represent the human search. Lucretius' De Rerum Natura uses hunting as a metaphor for the reader's actions, and parallels himself, his philosophical forefather Epicurus, and the reader to dogs hunting out proofs and ataraxia, "freedom from care, " the goal or prey of the Epicurean hunt. According to Lucretius, this hunt has the potential to be successful: humankind can obtain its ultimate goal of ataraxia if it follows Epicureanism. Vergil's Georgics is less optimistic about the ability of humankind to be successful in their hunt for knowledge. Farmers, the protagonists of the Georgics, are presented as knowing how to hunt and can follow the tracks of Justice, but there is no indication that they obtain it. The poem closes with the myth of Aristaeus, which displays the deceitful nature of prey (Proteus) to humankind (Aristaeus) and presents man's imperfect methods for capturing knowledge. Ovid's Ars Amatoria, a playful didactic about seduction, similarly puts forth a pessimistic view of human knowledge via hunting metaphors. The reader's education, presented as a hunt for the beloved, ultimately backfires and his knowledge fails him, as violently allegorized in the myth of Cephalus and Procris in Book 3. Grattius' Cynegetica makes the figurative use of the hunt into the literal subject of the poem, but Grattius' hunting poem is also an exploration of knowledge and morality. It reasserts an optimistic view of knowledge while at the same correcting Lucretius' Epicurean moral and religious views. I finish by looking at Nemesianus' Cynegetica, which provides a useful contrast to the previous works since the surviving fragment turns away from metaphysical and epistemological questions in favor of practical advice and literary reflection.
Book Synopsis A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature by : Victoria Moul
Download or read book A Guide to Neo-Latin Literature written by Victoria Moul and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin was for many centuries the common literary language of Europe, and Latin literature of immense range, stylistic power and social and political significance was produced throughout Europe and beyond from the time of Petrarch (c.1400) well into the eighteenth century. This is the first available work devoted specifically to the enormous wealth and variety of neo-Latin literature, and offers both essential background to the understanding of this material and sixteen chapters by leading scholars which are devoted to individual forms. Each contributor relates a wide range of fascinating but now little-known texts to the handful of more familiar Latin works of the period, such as Thomas More's Utopia, Milton's Latin poetry and the works of Petrarch and Erasmus. All Latin is translated throughout the volume.
