Explorations in Latin Literature: Volume 2, Elegy, Lyric and Other Topics
Author : Denis Feeney
Publisher : Cambridge University Press
Page : 571 pages
File Size : 21,89 MB
Release : 2021-08-19
Category : History
ISBN : 1108681891
Book Description
Denis Feeney is one of the most distinguished scholars of Latin literature and Roman culture in the world of the last half-century. These two volumes conveniently collect and present afresh all his major papers, covering a wide range of topics and interests. Ancient epic is a major focus, followed by Latin lyric, historiography and elegy. Ancient literary criticism and the technology of the book are recurrent themes. Many papers address the problems of literary responses to religion and ritual, with an interdisciplinary methodology drawing on comparative anthropology and religion. The transition from Republic to Empire and the emergence of the Augustan principate form the background to the majority of the papers, and the question of how literary texts are to be read in historical context is addressed throughout. All quotations from ancient and modern languages have now been translated and Stephen Hinds has contributed a foreword.

The Communicative Perspective in the Sentence
Author : Dirk G. J. Panhuis
Publisher : John Benjamins Publishing
Page : 187 pages
File Size : 30,69 MB
Release : 1982-01-01
Category : Foreign Language Study
ISBN : 9027230102
Book Description
This monograph fills a gap in our understanding of a so-called free word order language. Thus far many observations have been made on Latin word order, particularly within the noun phrase. Yet a more systematic investigation with respect to the order of the sentence consituents was still lacking, that is, till the arrival of the current monograph The Communicative Perspective in the Sentence: A Study of Latin Word Order. This excellent research monograph on the order of the sentence consituents in a particular, typologically ambivalent language, will be welcomed by both Latinists and general linguists.

On the Most Ancient Wisdom of the Italians
Author : Giambattista Vico
Publisher : Cornell University Press
Page : 228 pages
File Size : 19,92 MB
Release : 1988
Category : Metaphysics
ISBN : 9780801412806
Book Description
On the Most Ancient Wisdom of the Italians, originally published in 1710, is widely regarded as Vico's most significant work after the New Science and the Autobiography. Subtitled "The Book of Metaphysics," it was one of three planned volumes of a larger work that was never published, and it marks Vico's transition from rhetorician to philosopher of historical knowledge. This edition incorporates translations from the Italian of a contemporary review and Vico's responses, published in 1711 and 1712. L. M. Palmer's translation helps make more accessible a treatise of vital importance for an understanding of Vico's epistemology, psychology, and philosophy of mathematics.
