Gift inscription from author to R. E. Fantham. Pencil marginalia and underlining to a few pages. A couple of corrections done in ink. ; 304 pages; The philosophers of the Roman world were asking questions whose answers had practical effects on people's lives in antiquity, and which still influence our thinking to this day. In spite of being neglected in the modern era, this important age of philosophical thought is now undergoing a revival of interest. Mark Morford's lively survey makes these recent scholarly developments accessible to a wide audience, examining the writings and ideas of both famous and lesser known figures - from Cato the Censor in 155 BCE to Marcus Aurelius in 180 CE. Based around extensive and fully translated quotations from the philosophical texts of the era, full consideration is given throughout to historical, political and cultural context. ; Signed by Author

DJ is price-clipped. ; The Satyricon of Petronius and the Metamorphoses (or Golden Ass) of Apuleius are the only novels written at Rome before A. D. 200 to have survived. The genre is the comic romance, the literature of relaxation in the ancient world. In this book the author defines the genre and sets it in the context of other forms of fiction then being written, demonstrating that both Petronius and Apuleius introduced important innovations into the traditional comic romance. He then goes on to provide a critical analysis of the Satyricon, with a separate chapter on Trimalchio’s feast, the central and most richly comic episode of the book. The Golden Ass is similarly studied, again with special analysis of its centrepiece, the story of Cupid and Psyche. The final chapter assesses the later influence of the two novels on the main stream of European picaresque fiction. ; 0.87 x 8.86 x 5.79 Inches; 286 pages

The rise of Episcopal power came in a period in which drastic political changes produced long and significant conflicts both within and outside the Church. This book examines these problems in depth, looking at bishops' varied roles in both causing and resolving these disputes, including those internal to the church, those which began within the church but had major effects on wider society, and those of a secular nature. ; 280 pages
Light bump to lower edge of front board else book is fine. DJ has light creasing to edges. ; Previous scholarship on classical pseudepigrapha has generally aimed at proving issues of attribution and dating of individual works, with little or no attention paid to the texts as literary artefacts. Instead, this book looks at Latin fakes as sophisticated products of a literary culture in which collaborative practices of supplementation, recasting and role-play were the absolute cornerstones of rhetorical education and literary practice. Texts such as the Catalepton, the Consolatio ad Liviam and the Panegyricus Messallae thus illuminate the strategies whereby Imperial audiences received and interrogated canonical texts and are here explored as key moments in the Imperial reception of Augustan authors such as Virgil, Ovid and Tibullus. The study of the rhetoric of these creative supplements irreverently mingling truth and fiction reveals much not only about the neighbouring concepts of fiction, authenticity, and reality, but also about the tacit assumptions by which the latter are employed in literary criticism. ; 322 pages
