Dustjacket is protected in mylar.; Includes cd-rom; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 316 pages; While the sculpted Ionic frieze of the Parthenon with its galloping horsemen and classically portrayed gods is reproduced in every art history text and has been much studied by scholars no single book has yet been devoted to all its myriad aspects. This study by classical archaeologist and art historian Jenifer Neils breaks new ground by considering all aspects of this complex and controversial monument. Although the frieze has been studied for over two hundred years most scholarship has sought an overall interpretation of the iconography rather than focusing on the sculpture's visual language essential for a full understanding of the narrative. Neils' study not only decodes the language of the frieze but also analyzes its conception and design style and content as well as its impact on later art. Unusual for its wide-ranging approach to the frieze this book also brings ethical reasoning to bear on the issue of its possible repatriation as part of the on-going Elgin Marble debate. As one of the foremost examples of the high classical style and the finest expression of mid-fifth century Athenian ideology the Parthenon frieze is without doubt one of the major monuments of western civilization and as such deserves to be understood in all its dimensions. The accompanying CD-ROM contains a virtual reality Macromedia Director movie of the complete frieze based on the plaster casts in the Skulpturhalle in Basel Switzerland. Developed by Rachel Rosenzweig of the Department of Greek and Roman Art of the Cleveland Museum of Art the casts are arranged in conformity with Neils' reconstruction and enable the user to view them in succession as if walking around the Parthenon. The CD-ROM requires a computer running either MAC OS 8.01 or later or Windows 95 or later. . 0521641616 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

DJ has light shelfwear.; The twenty-eight essays in this handbook represent the best current thinking in the study of Latin language and literature in the Middle Ages.

Their studies vividly illustrate the field's complexities on a wide range of topics including canonicity literary styles and genres and the materiality of manuscript culture.

200239883Princeton University Press. 2002. Hardcover. Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Ex-library copy with usual stamps call numbers and pocket.; By "literary criticism" we usually mean a self-conscious act involving the technical and aesthetic appraisal by individuals of autonomous works of art. Aristotle and Plato come to mind. The word "social" does not. Yet as this book shows it should--if that is we wish to understand where literary criticism as we think of it today came from. Andrew Ford offers a new understanding of the development of criticism demonstrating that its roots stretch back long before the sophists to public commentary on the performance of songs and poems in the preliterary era of ancient Greece. He pinpoints when and how later in the Greek tradition than is usually assumed poetry was studied as a discipline with its own principles and methods. The Origins of Criticism complements the usual history-of-ideas approach to the topic precisely by treating criticism as a social as well as a theoretical activity. With unprecedented and penetrating detail Ford considers varying scholarly interpretations of the key texts discussed. Examining Greek discussions of poetry from the late sixth century B. C. Through the rise of poetics in the late fourth he asks when we first can recognize anything like the modern notions of literature as imaginative writing and of literary criticism as a special knowledge of such writing. Serving as a monumental preface to Aristotle's Poetics this book allows readers to discern the emergence within the manifold activities that might be called criticism of the historically specific discourse on poetry that has shaped subsequent Western approaches to literature.; 356 pages . 0691074852 .

Minor bump at top of spine.; Studies on Themes and Motifs in Literature; 0.75 x 9 x 6 Inches; 228 pages; Both the alliterative Gest Hystoriale of the Destruction of Troy c. 1400 and the Laud Troy Book c. 1400 a metrical romance deal with the lives and feats of chivalric heroes and place special emphasis on the psychological effects of love. This book is a study of the motifs in John Clerk's and the Laud-poet's narratives and of their characterization of the Trojan War's principal actors. Both writers used the same source but their preferences for motifs and their attitudes toward the persons involved were often quite different. Thirteen illustrations mainly from medieval Guido manuscripts serve as a stimulus to those who want to know more about the medieval understanding of the Trojan War. . 1433100126 .

Front DJ flap creased. 1 very tiny chip to DJ.; Latin and especially Greek texts of the imperial period contain a wealth of references to 'India'. Professor Parker offers a survey of such texts read against a wide range of other sources both archaeological and documentary. He emphasises the social processes whereby the notion of India gained its exotic features including the role of the Persian empire and of Alexander's expedition. Three kinds of social context receive special attention: the trade in luxury commodities; the political discourse of empire and its limits; and India's status as a place of special knowledge embodied in 'naked philosophers'. Roman ideas about India ranged from the specific and concrete to the wildly fantastic and the book attempts to account for such variety. It ends by considering the afterlife of such ideas into late antiquity and beyond.; Greek Culture in the Roman World; 374 pages . 0521858348 . Cambridge University Press hardcover
