Gutes Exemplar. - Englisch und Latein. - Thomas Vincent (May 1634 - 15 October 1678) was an English Puritan minister and author. After passing through Westminster School, and Felsted grammar school in Essex, he entered as a student at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1648, matriculated 27 February 1651, and graduated B.A. 16 March 1652, M.A. 1 June 1654, when he was chosen catechist. Leaving the university, he became chaplain to Robert Sidney, 2nd Earl of Leicester. In 1656 he was incorporated at Cambridge. He was soon put into the sequestered rectory of St. Mary Magdalene, Milk Street, London (he was probably ordained by the sixth London classis), and held it till the Uniformity Act of 1662 ejected him. He retired to Hoxton, where he preached privately, and at the same time assisted Thomas Doolittle in his school at Bunhill Fields. During 1665, the year of the Great Plague of London, he constantly preached in parish churches. … (wiki; engl.) // About 150 Latin plays written by Englishmen in the Renaissance survive today, mainly from the hundred years from 1550-1650 which witnessed the greatest and most flourishing period of drama in England. Although the vernacular drama of the age has been intensively studied, the sizeable corpus of Latin plays that exists alongside it has remained almost unknown. Yet there are many points of contact between the popular and learned drama (as for that matter between works in English and the considerable body of literature in Latin). Lyly and Peele assisted with the production of Latin plays at Oxford, and not only they but other "University Wits," such as Greene, Nashe and Marlowe, would have had the chance to see University plays acted whilst, at a formative stage in their lives, they were at University. Both Queen Elizabeth and King James were patrons of the Latin drama, and paid ceremonial visits to the Universities when plays were performed in their honour in a sumptuous and splendid fashion. Other aristocrats and men of fashion and learning in attendance on the monarch, like the Earl of Leicester and Sir Philip Sidney, were also present on certain of these occasions. … (Vorwort) ISBN 9783487078687

New. Unwrapped in plastic; 255 pages; Since the eighteenth century, classical scholars have generally agreed that the Greek playwright Aristophanes did not as a matter of course write "political" plays. Yet, according to an anonymous Life of Aristophanes, when Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse wanted to know about the government of Athens, Plato sent him a copy of Aristophanes' Clouds. In this boldly revisionist work, Michael Vickers convincingly argues that in his earlier plays, Aristophanes in fact commented on the day-to-day political concerns of Athenians. Vickers reads the first six of Aristophanes' eleven extant plays in a way that reveals the principal characters to be based in large part on Pericles and his ward Alcibiades. According to Vickers, the plays of Aristophanes--far from being nonpolitical--actually allow us to gauge the reaction of the Athenian public to the events that followed Pericles' death in 429 B.C., to the struggle for the political succession, and to the problems presented by Alcibiades' emergence as one of the most powerful figures in the state. This view of Aristophanes reaffirms the central role of allegory in his work and challenges all students of ancient Greece to rethink long-held assumptions about this important playwright.
