200512188Brill. 2005. Hardcover. Near Fine in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Gift inscription to R. E. Fantham from author on ffep includes tipped-in note from author. Dust-soiling to one small area of textblock.; This book analyses the mythical and legendary narratives in Ovid's Fasti as narrative and concentrates on the neglected literary aspects of these stories. It combines traditional tools of literary criticism with more modern techniques taken especially from narratology and intertextuality. From a narratological viewpoint it covers important features such as aperture closure characterization internal narrators description space time and cinematic technique. On the intertextual level it examines the narratives' complex relationship with Virgil Livy and Ovid's own earlier works. Recent criticism on the Fasti has addressed various elements religious historical political astronomical etc. but detailed narrative study has been wanting. This book fills that gap to provide a more informed and balanced appreciation of this multifaceted poem aimed at classicists and literary critics in general for whom all the Latin is translated.; Mnemosyne: Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum; 306 pages; Signed by Author . 9004143203 .

198837326Routledge. 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear Scholar's name to ffep Bonnie Maclachlan née Ward.; 236 pages; In antiquity a considerable number of books of prophecies went under the general title of "Sibylline Oracles". Rulers as significant as Augustus consulted them in time of danger or crisis for advice and prognoses. Increasing numbers of "ex post facto" prophecies laying a particular interpretation on facts of recent history came to be attributed to one of the mysterious Sibyls. Perhaps the most famous of these is the Cumaean Sibyl who guides the hero in the sixth book of Vergil's "Aeneid" . In fact she was somewhat unusual in her similiarity to other oracular prophetesses such as the Pythia. For where the latter prophesied in response to particular inquirers one of the distinguishing characteristics of Sibyls was that they composed discursive verses for distribution to the world at large. This Professor Parke's last book which was virtually complete on his death in 1986 is an account of a subject both rarely treated in recent decades and difficult to access for all but the most expert. In its pursuit of the sometimes elusive Sibyls it ranges from Heraclitus to Eusebius from Archaic Asia Minor to Christian Rome. This book should be of interest to undergraduates postgraduates and academics of classics. . 0415003431 . Routledge hardcover
