Book excerpt: One of literature's greatest satirists, Martial earned his livelihood by excoriating the follies and vices of Roman society and its emperors, and set a pattern that satirists have admired across the ages. For the first time, readers can enjoy an English translation of these rhymes that does not sacrifice the cleverly constructed effects of Martial's short and shapely thrusts. Martial's Epigrams "bespeaks a great scholar at play" (The New York Times Book Review), makes for addictive reading, and is a perfect, if naughty, gift. Look out for a new book from Garry Wills, What the Qur'an Meant, coming fall 2017.

Book Synopsis Writing Epigrams by : Gordon L. Fain
Download or read book Writing Epigrams written by Gordon L. Fain and published by Peeters. This book was released on 2008 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every poet is deeply influenced by the verse of other poets. This influence is particularly apparent in the way poets compose their poems, which all poets learn by carefully reading the poetry of their predecessors. Though the style that poets eventually adopt may be unique and formed by their own particular genius, certain features of their poems will nevertheless reveal, at least in part, those earlier poets who have been most important to the formation of their art. This work attempts to trace the progression of style in Greek and Latin epigrams from early inscription to the poems of Martial, by characterizing features of composition that are transferable from one language to another. Such aspects of style include the syntax of sentences that begin and end the poems, the use of vocatives and address, and the structure of the poems, that is whether they proceed with or without formal elements such as antithesis, logical argument, and parallel phrasing. The results of this analysis place on much stronger footing such often held but still controversial views, that short elegy played a large role in the development of Hellenistic epigram; that the poems of Catullus in elegiacs and hendecasyllables show fundamental differences in style; and that the poet most important to the development of the way Martial wrote his poetry was not Lucillius or Nearchus but rather Catullus. These conclusions help define more clearly the affinities of style and patterns of influence that were responsible for the form of the ancient epigram.

Download or read book Epigrams written by Martial and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new commentary illuminates the allusions to people, places, things, and cultural practices of late first-century Rome that pervade Martial's poetry. It analyzes the epigrammatist's poems as literary creations, treating such topics as the structure of the individual poems and of the book as a whole, and the influence of earlier texts on Martial's language and themes. This edition thus fills an important gap and will be of interest to readers of both Martial and ancient epigram, from advanced undergraduates to scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis A Prosopography to Martial’s Epigrams by : Rosario Moreno Soldevila
Download or read book A Prosopography to Martial’s Epigrams written by Rosario Moreno Soldevila and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-02-19 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Prosopography to Martial’s Epigrams is the first dictionary of all the characters and personal names found in the work of Marcus Valerius Martialis, containing nearly 1,000 comprehensive entries. Each of them compiles and analyses all the relevant information regarding the characters themselves, as well as the literary implications of their presence in Martial’s poems. Unlike other works of this kind, the book encompasses not only real people, whose positive existence is beyond doubt, but also fictional characters invented by the poet or inherited from the cultural and literary tradition. Its entries provide the passages of the epigrams where the respective characters appear; the general category to which they belong; the full name (in the case of historical characters); onomastic information, especially about frequency, meaning, and etymology; other literary or epigraphical sources; a prosopographical sketch; a discussion of relevant manuscript variants; and a bibliography. Much attention is paid to the literary portrayal of each character and the poetic usages of their names. This reference work is a much needed tool and is intended as a stimulus for further research.
Book Synopsis Epigrams from the Greek Anthology by : Gideon Nisbet
Download or read book Epigrams from the Greek Anthology written by Gideon Nisbet and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lush Diodorus sets the lads on fire, But now another has him in his net - Timarion, the boy with wanton eyes . . . Meleager, AP 12.109 Encompassing four thousand short poems and more, the ramshackle classic we call the Greek Anthology gathers up a millennium of snapshots from ancient daily life. Its influence echoes not merely in the classic tradition of the English epigram (Pope, Dryden) but in Rudyard Kipling, Ezra Pound, Virgina Woolf, T. S. Eliot, H.D., and the poets of the First World War. Its variety is almost infinite. Victorious armies, ruined cities, and Olympic champions share space with lovers' quarrels and laments for the untimely dead - but also with jokes and riddles, art appreciation, potted biographies of authors, and scenes from country life and the workplace. This selection of more than 600 epigrams in verse is the first major translation from the Greek Anthology in nearly a century. Each of the Anthology's books of epigrams is represented here, in manuscript order, and with extensive notes on the history and myth that lie behind them.

Book Synopsis Eye Exams: A Book of Epigrams by : Richard Krause
Download or read book Eye Exams: A Book of Epigrams written by Richard Krause and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epigrams can be stabs at thought, sudden insights, or summations of a life. The fact that they don't parade in the best dress gives freedom to all types of garb; even so, occasional nakedness is exposed. Ultimately writing epigrams exposes the reader as well as the writer, and by extension all human nature -- broadening our observations of the species. The sole object is understanding.
Book Synopsis Ausonius: Epigrams by : Bloomsbury Publishing
Download or read book Ausonius: Epigrams written by Bloomsbury Publishing and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decimus Magnus Ausonius of Bordeaux, whose life spanned the greater part of the fourth century AD, was one of the most significant literary and political figures of his age. After an academic career in his native Gaul he was appointed tutor to the future emperor Gratian, a position through which he achieved great power for himself and his family. He was made consul in 379 and later lived to enjoy a ripe old age as the grand old man of Latin letters. In this modern edition of Ausonius' short poems, collected together under the general heading of epigrams, N.M. Kay gives a line-by-line commentary dealing with points of literary, linguistic, historical and other interest. The epigrams throw light on many aspects of Ausonius' life, career and attitudes as well as on fourth-century Latin literature, and will thus be of interest to students of the fourth-century western world, of Latin literature, and of the epigram form in particular. This edition includes both Latin text and translation.
