Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Latin hexameter poetry results in part from my efforts in recent years to arouse greater interest among my students in the perfection of Vergilian meter, in part from a growing conviction that new and valuable criteria might be developed to define more clearly the metrical procedures not only of Vergil but of other hexameter poets as well. My investigations into the frequencies of the metrical schemata (or "patterns," the term I prefer) and the manner in which they are used took at first the form of charts and percentage tables, and these I have translated, I hope, in such a way that my findings will be meaningful and of value to teachers and students of Latin poetry on all academic levels. -- Preface.

Download or read book A Companion to the Study of Virgil written by Nicholas Horsfall and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Companion to the Study of Virgil" is not yet another introduction to Virgil's poetry, nor is it the thinking man's version of the bibliographies in ANRW. The editor and three outside contributors offer a guide both to the key problems and to the most intelligent discussions. They do not offer 'solutions' to all the difficulties, but are not frightened to admit that "this" we do not know, that "that" is a mess, and that "there" more work is to be done. The book is aimed at graduate students and university teachers. Many of the issues are difficult and artificial simplifications seem to offer no advantages. Apart from ample discussion of the poems and the main issues they raise, the book offers chapters on the life of Virgil (Horsfall), his style (Horsfall), his influence on later Latin epic (W.R. Barnes), on Latin life and culture (Horsfall), and on his MS tradition (Geymonat).

Download or read book Vergil and Elegy written by Alison Keith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 70 BCE, the Roman poet Vergil came of age during a period of literary experimentalism among Latin authors. These authors introduced new Greek verse forms and metres into the existing repertoire of Latin poetic genres and measures, foremost among them being elegy, a genre that the ancients thought originated in funeral lament, but which in classical Rome became first-person poetry about the poet-lover’s amatory vicissitudes. Despite the influence of notable elegists on Vergil’s early poetry, his critics have rarely paid attention to his engagement with the genre across his body of work. This collection is devoted to an exploration of Vergil’s multifaceted relations with elegy. Contributors shed light on Vergil’s interactions with the genre and its practitioners across classical, medieval, and early modern periods. The book investigates Vergil’s hexameter poetry in relation to contemporary Latin elegy by Gallus, Tibullus, and Propertius, and the subsequent reception of Vergil’s radical combination of epic with elegy by later Latin and Italian authors. Filling a striking gap in the scholarship, Vergil and Elegy illuminates the famous poet’s wide-ranging engagement with the genre of elegy across his oeuvre.

Download or read book The Poetic Art of Aldhelm written by Andy Orchard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-04-07 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aldhelm of Malmesbury has been described as 'the first English man of letters'. He was the first Germanic author to compose extensively in Latin metrical verse, and his Latin works were amongst the most influential in Anglo-Saxon England. Aldhelm can also be considered the best-read of Anglo-Saxon poets, in both senses of the phrase: he read most and was most read. In this first book-length study of Aldhelm's poetic art Andy Orchard traces the sources and models for Aldhelm's idiosyncratic style, as well as the nature and extent of his influence on later Anglo-Latin verse. Aldhelm's innovations in Latin verse technique are emphasized, in particular his special debt to the specific techniques of Old English vernacular verse.
