Book Synopsis The Virgilian Tradition by : Craig Kallendorf
Download or read book The Virgilian Tradition written by Craig Kallendorf and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection approach the reception of the Roman poet Virgil in early modern Europe from the perspective of two areas at the center of current scholarly work in the humanities: book history and the history of reading. The first group of essays uses Virgil's place in post-classical culture to raise questions of broad scholarly interest: How, exactly, does modern reception theory challenge traditional notions of literary practice and value? How do the marginal comments of early readers provide insight into their character and mind? How does rhetoric help shape literary criticism? The second group of essays begins from the premise that the material form in which early modern readers encountered this most important of Latin poets played a key role in how they understood what they read. Thus title pages and illustrations help shape interpretation, with the results of that interpretation in turn becoming the comments that early modern readers regularly entered into the margins of their books. The volume concludes with four more specialized studies that show how these larger issues play out in specific neo-Latin works of the early modern period.
Book Synopsis The Virgilian Tradition II by : Craig Kallendorf
Download or read book The Virgilian Tradition II written by Craig Kallendorf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Virgilian Tradition II brings together thirteen essays by historian Craig Kallendorf. The essays present a distinctive approach to the reception of the canonical classical author Virgil, that is focused around the early printed books through which that author was read and interpreted within early modern culture. Using the prefaces, dedicatory letters, and commentaries that accompanied the early modern editions of Virgil’s Eclogues, Georgics, Aeneid, and Appendix Virgiliana, they demonstrate how this paratextual material was used by early readers to develop a more nuanced interpretation of Virgil’s writings than twentieth-century scholars believed they were capable of. The approach developed throughout this volume shows how the emerging field of book history can enrich our understanding of the reception of Greek and Latin authors. This book will appeal to scholars and students of early modern history, as well as those interested in book history and cultural history. (CS 1103).

Book Synopsis Virgil on the Nature of Things by : Monica R. Gale
Download or read book Virgil on the Nature of Things written by Monica R. Gale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgics has for many years been a source of fierce controversy among scholars of Latin literature. Is the work optimistic or pessimistic, pro- or anti-Augustan? Should we read it as a eulogy or a bitter critique of Rome and her imperial ambitions? This book suggests that the ambiguity of the poem is the product of a complex and thorough-going engagement with earlier writers in the didactic tradition: Hesiod, Aratus and - above all - Lucretius. Drawing on both traditional, philological approaches to allusion, and modern theories of intertextuality, it shows how the world-views of the earlier poets are subjected to scrutiny and brought into conflict with each other. Detailed consideration of verbal parallels and of Lucretian themes, imagery and structural patterns in the Georgics forms the basis for a reading of Virgil's poem as an extended meditation on the relations between the individual and society, the gods and the natural environment.

Book Synopsis The Medieval Classic by : Justin A. Haynes
Download or read book The Medieval Classic written by Justin A. Haynes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Medieval Classic considers how ancient and medieval commentaries on the Aeneid by Servius, Fulgentius, Bernard Silvestris, and others can give us new insights into four twelfth-century Latin epics -- the Ylias by Joseph of Exeter, the Alexandreis by Walter of Châtillon, the Anticlaudianus by Alan of Lille, and the Architrenius by John of Hauville. Justin Haynes argues that the most profound connections between medieval epic and the Aeneid have been overlooked because ancient and medieval interpretations, as preserved by the commentary tradition, were often radically different from modern ones. By explaining how to interpret the Aeneid, these commentaries directly influenced the way in which medieval authors were inspired by the poem. At the same time, these commentaries allow us a greater awareness of the generic expectations held by medieval readers. Because two of the medieval epics considered here are allegorical narratives, this book offers new perspectives on the importance of commentaries in the development of allegorical literature. Thus, The Medieval Classic contributes to our understanding of ancient and medieval perceptions of the Aeneid while exploring the importance of commentaries in shaping poetic composition, imitation, and the history of allegorical literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study contributes to a dialogue about the scope and meaning of pastoral, arguing for a more socially and aesthetically complex awareness of its significance. The study is text-based rather than thesis-driven, dealing mainly with Renaissance works by Spenser, Milton, and Shakespeare, but grounds itself in Virgil and concludes with pastoral's transmuted afterlife in Wordsworth and Samuel Beckett"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis Claudian and the Roman Epic Tradition by : Catherine Ware
Download or read book Claudian and the Roman Epic Tradition written by Catherine Ware and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-24 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical importance of Claudian as writer of panegyric and propaganda for the court of Honorius is well established but his poetry has been comparatively neglected: only recently has his work been the subject of modern literary criticism. Taking as its starting point Claudian's claim to be the heir to Virgil, this book examines his poetry as part of the Roman epic tradition. Discussing first what we understand by epic and its relevance for late antiquity, Catherine Ware argues that, like Virgil and later Roman epic poets, Claudian analyses his contemporary world in terms of classical epic. Engaging intertextually with his literary predecessors, Claudian updates concepts such as furor and concordia, redefining Romanitas to exclude the increasingly hostile east, depicting enemies of the west as new Giants and showing how the government of Honorius and his chief minister, Stilicho, have brought about a true golden age for the west.

Book Synopsis Virgil in the Renaissance by : David Scott Wilson-Okamura
Download or read book Virgil in the Renaissance written by David Scott Wilson-Okamura and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disciplines of classical scholarship were established in their modern form between 1300 and 1600, and Virgil was a test case for many of them. This book is concerned with what became of Virgil in this period, how he was understood, and how his poems were recycled. What did readers assume about Virgil in the long decades between Dante and Sidney, Petrarch and Spenser, Boccaccio and Ariosto? Which commentators had the most influence? What story, if any, was Virgil's Eclogues supposed to tell? What was the status of his Georgics? Which parts of his epic attracted the most imitators? Building on specialized scholarship of the last hundred years, this book provides a panoramic synthesis of what scholars and poets from across Europe believed they could know about Virgil's life and poetry.

Book Synopsis Virgilian Identities in the French Renaissance by : Phillip John Usher
Download or read book Virgilian Identities in the French Renaissance written by Phillip John Usher and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2012 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Virgil's works, principally the Bucolics, the Georgics, and above all the Aeneid, were frequently read, translated and rewritten by authors of the French Renaissance. The contributors to this volume show how readers and writers entered into a dialogue with the texts, using them to grapple with such difficult questions as authorial, political and communitarian identities. It is demonstrated how Virgil's works are more than Ancient models to be imitated. They reveal themselves, instead, to be part of a vibrant moment of exchange central to the definition of literature at the time."--Back cover.
