Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome Even in the age of Plutarch there were discerning men who rejected the popular account of the foundation of Rome, because that account appeared to them to have the air, not of a history, but of a romance or a drama. Plutarch, who was displeased at their incredulity, had nothing better to say in reply to their arguments than that chance sometimes turns poet, and produces trains of events not to be distinguished from the most elaborate plots which are constructed by art.* But though the existence of a poetical element in the early history of the Great City was detected so many ages ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lays of Ancient Rome A lay is a brief poem usually narrating some deed of daring, the exploit of one man, or the achievement of a whole nation. The word is the same as the old French lai and seems originally to have meant a song, in the period of the Middle Ages when almost all poetry was sung, or chanted, to the accompaniment of some musical instrument. We, who read these tales in print to-day, miss the splendor that attended them in olden times when there were in existence only a few books, all laboriously copied by hand, and when it was the custom for people to gather in some spacious hall, or some open street, to hear the minstrel recite his heroic stories with the utmost dramatic effectiveness of voice and gesture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: With Illustration, Original and From the Antique, Drawn on Wood As for the strength of the case made out against Macau lay's justice and reliability, controversy would fall within the Scope of a discussion of his history or his essays, rather than within that of this introduction. I cannot, however, refrain from commenting that a much more bitter partisanship than his seems to characterize the writings of his detractors, and that I know of very few instances where his facts and judgments have suffered by comparison with the revisions suggested or demanded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lays of Ancient Rome: Essays and Poems Matthew Arnold and others attacked the Lays, judging them by the irrelevant standard of the highest flights of poetry. But judged for what they are, ballads, they are masterly, and deserved the immense popularity they enjoyed with two generations of Englishmen. In those days every schoolboy knew them, and many both young and old had them by heart. From them young people learnt to take pleasure in the sound and rhythm of verse, which helped them later to enjoy other greater poets. I do not think that the oblivion into which the Lays have since fallen has been an advantage to literature.

This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome, the Armada, Ivry and the Battle of Naseby: Edited With Introduction and Notes In the narrative of Livy, who was a man of fine imagination, these stories retain much of their genuine character. Nor could even the tasteless Dionysius dis tort and mutilate them into mere prose. The poetry shines, in spite of him, through the dreary pedantry of his eleven books. It is discernible in the most tedious and in the most superficial modern works on the early times Of Rome. It enlivens the dulness of the Uni versal History, and gives a charm to the most meagre abridgments of Goldsmith. Even in the age Of Plutarch there were discerning men who rejected the popular account of the foundation of Rome, because that account appeared to them to have the air, not of a history, but of a romance or a drama. Plutarch, who was displeased at their in credulity, had nothing better to say in reply to their arguments than that chance sometimes turns poet, and produces trains of events not to be distinguished from the most elaborate plots which are constructed by art.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller A New York Times Notable Book Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, Foreign Affairs, and Kirkus Reviews Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award (Nonfiction) Shortlisted for the Cundill Prize in Historical Literature Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) A San Francisco Chronicle Holiday Gift Guide Selection A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection A sweeping, "magisterial" history of the Roman Empire from one of our foremost classicists shows why Rome remains "relevant to people many centuries later" (Atlantic). In SPQR, an instant classic, Mary Beard narrates the history of Rome "with passion and without technical jargon" and demonstrates how "a slightly shabby Iron Age village" rose to become the "undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Hailed by critics as animating "the grand sweep and the intimate details that bring the distant past vividly to life" (Economist) in a way that makes "your hair stand on end" (Christian Science Monitor) and spanning nearly a thousand years of history, this "highly informative, highly readable" (Dallas Morning News) work examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries. With its nuanced attention to class, democratic struggles, and the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come.
Book Synopsis The End of the Past by : Aldo Schiavone
Download or read book The End of the Past written by Aldo Schiavone and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS SEARCHING INTERPRETATION of past and present addresses fundamental questions about the fall of the Roman Empire. Why did ancient culture, once so strong and rich, come to an end? Was it destroyed by weaknesses inherent in its nature? Or were mistakes made that could have been avoided -- was there a point at which Greco-Roman society took a wrong turn? And in what ways is modern society different? Western history is split into two discontinuous eras, Aldo Schiavone tells us: the ancient world was fundamentally different from the modern one. He locates the essential difference in a series of economic factors: a slave-based economy, relative lack of mechanization and technology, the dominance of agriculture over urban industry. Also crucial are aspects of the ancient mentality: disdain for manual work, a preference for transcending (rather than transforming) nature, a basic belief in the permanence of limits. Schiavone's lively and provocative examination of the ancient world, "the eternal theater of history and power", offers a stimulating opportunity to view modern society in light of the experience of our forebears.
