Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly acclaimed book was, when it was first published in 1969, the first complete book in English devoted to the Georgics of Virgil, of which Mr Wilkinson provides a comprehensive survey. With careful scholarship and shrewd verbal and stylistic analysis combined with sober common sense, he deals with Virgil's early life, the conception of the poem and its composition and structure. He also examines the poem's intellectual ancestry, studies its literary, philosophic, political and agricultural aspects and finally deals with its fortunes from classical times to the present day. Prose translations of quoted passages make this book accessible to readers other than students of classics.
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 Vergil's Georgics and the Traditions of Ancient Epic by : Joseph Farrell
Download or read book Vergil's Georgics and the Traditions of Ancient Epic written by Joseph Farrell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important and original new book, Joseph Farrell argues that there is a detailed and extensive program of literary allusion in Vergil's Georgics, moving basically from Hesiod and Aratus in the first book, to Lucretius in the middle two, to Homer in the fourth. This program involves what he calls "analytic" allusion, namely a reconstruction or interpretation of the texts alluded to; and, he contends, the direction of the allusion, moving from Hesiod (and perhaps Alexandrian poetics) toward Homer and heroic epic, helps to clarify the development of Vergil's poetic career, which moves from the Callimacheanism of the Eclogues to the full-fledged epic of the Aeneid. Applying to the Georgics the full range of recent scholarly methodology, Farrell's pathbreaking book will be of great interest to all scholars and students of Vergil, classical literature, and literary allusion.

Book Synopsis Patterns of Redemption in Virgil's Georgics by : Llewelyn Morgan
Download or read book Patterns of Redemption in Virgil's Georgics written by Llewelyn Morgan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of this book's first publication in 1999, orthodoxy interpreted the Georgics as a statement of profound ambivalence towards Octavian and his claim to be Rome's saviour after the catastrophe of the civil wars. This book takes issue with the model of the subtly subversive poet. It argues that in the turbulent political circumstances which obtained at the time of the poem's composition, Virgil's preoccupation with violent conflict has a highly optimistic import. Octavian's brutal conduct in the civil wars is subjected to a searching analysis, but is ultimately vindicated, refigured as a paradoxically constructive violence analogous to blood sacrifice or Romulus' fratricide of Remus. The vindication of Octavian also has strictly literary implications for Virgil. The close of the poem sees Virgil asserting his mastery of the Homeric mode of poetry and the providential world-view it was thought to embody.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Hesiod by : Alexander Loney
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Hesiod written by Alexander Loney and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together 29 junior and senior scholars to discuss aspects of Hesiod's poetry and its milieu and to explore questions of reception over two and half millennia from shortly after the poems' conception to Twitter hashtags. Rather than an exhaustive study of Hesiodic themes, the Handbook is conceived as a guide through terrain, some familiar, other less charted, examining both Hesiodic craft and later engagements with Hesiod's stories of the gods and moralizing proscriptions of just human behavior. The volume opens with the "Hesiodic Question," to address questions of authorship, historicity, and the nature of composition of Hesiod's two major poems, the Theogony and Works and Days. Subsequent chapters on the archaeology and economic history of archaic Boiotia, Indo-European poetics, and Hesiodic style offer a critical picture of the sorts of questions that have been asked rather than an attempt to resolve debate. Other chapters discuss Hesiod's particular rendering of the supernatural and the performative nature of the Works and Days, as well as competing diachronic and synchronic temporalities and varying portrayals of female in the two poems. The rich story of reception ranges from Solon to comic books. These chapters continue to explore the nature of Hesiod's poetics, as different writers through time single out new aspects of his art less evident to earlier readers. Long before the advent of Christianity, classical writers leveled their criticism at Hesiod's version of polytheism. The relative importance of Hesiod's two major poems across time also tells us a tale of the age receiving the poems. In the past two centuries, artists and writers have come to embrace the Hesiodic stories for themselves for the insight they offer of the human condition but even as old allegory looks quaint to modern eyes new forms of allegory take form.

Download or read book The Georgics written by Virgil and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgics is the production of Virgil's mid-to late-thirties. He began writing it between 38 and 36 B.C. and read the finished poem to Octavian in 29 B.C. when the Emperor had just returned from his successful eastern campaign. Though peace and good husbandry are celebrated in the poem, the pressure of events affected Virgil, and much of the matter of The Georgics bears oblique reference to the immediate-and recurrent-theme of war and civil strife. In this new translation of a classic poem which has marked English poetry deeply by its example, Robert Wells has chosen a plain, carefully-paced and resonant language. He respects the matter of the poem, its actual content, and Virgil's more-than-literary understanding of his theme, and the poem has particular authority in Well's English because of his familiarity with Virgil's landscape and the rural disciplines that inform Virgil's poem. In his introduction, Wells attempts a revaluation of the poem and describes its perennial power. -- Front cover book flap.
