201038903Cambridge University Press. 2010. Hardcover. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Gift inscription from author to Carolyn Dewald on ffep. Includes letter and postcard from author tipped in. Lower corners bumped.; 324 pages; Thucydides Pericles and the Idea of Athens in the Peloponnesian War is the first comprehensive study of Thucydides' presentation of Pericles' radical redefinition of the city of Athens during the Peloponnesian War. Martha Taylor argues that Thucydides subtly critiques Pericles' vision of Athens as a city divorced from the territory of Attica and focused instead on the sea and the empire. Thucydides shows that Pericles' reconceputalization of the city led the Athenians both to Melos and to Sicily. Toward the end of his work Thucydides demonstrates that flexible thinking about the city exacerbated the Athenians' civil war. Providing a thorough critique and analysis of Thucydides' neglected book 8 Taylor shows that Thucydides praises political compromise centered around the traditional city in Attica. In doing so he implicitly censures both Pericles and the Athenian imperial project itself.; Signed by Author . 0521765935 . Cambridge University Press hardcover

18136879Seguin Avignon 1813. 2 vols. in 1. 12mo. text in Italian; contemporary tree calf sides with elaborate gilt frame border back elaborately tooled in gilt with two red leather labels marbled edges patterned endpapers skilfully rebacked with original backstrip laid down corners of upper board bruised else a remarkably bright crisp copy. With separate half-titles to each book and the early nineteenth century trade ticket of Berard & Mondon 'French Spanish Italian Books etc' of New York. French issue of the major work of Alessandro Tassoni Modena 1565-1635. First published in 1614 this mock-heroic poem which translates loosely as 'the captured bucket' uses the theft of a well-bucket to satirise petty warfare between the towns of Modena and Bologna. The satire belongs to the same category as the ancient 'Battle of the Frogs and Mice' de Vega's 'Gatomaquia' Boileau's 'Lutrin' and Pope's 'Rape of the Lock'. 'The poem is pervaded by an exuberant satirical and often brilliant humour. There are passages in which the humour is sustained and cumulative and others in which an apparent seriousness finds its climate in a sudden hilarious absurdity' Wilkins 'Italian Literature' pp. 298-9. THIS EDITION IS RARE. Seguin, Avignon, hardcover
2012005079New York: Thames & Hudson Inc. 2012. First Edition First Printing. . Very Fine/Near Fine. In the early 1930s the legendary American surrealist Joseph Cornell engaged in one of his favorite pastimes of wandering through the bookstalls of lower Manhattan searching for old books photos and other ephemera to use in his artmaking found and bought the "Journal d' Agriculture Practique" Vol. 21 1911 a voluminous handbook of advice for French farmers. Over time Cornell altered and reinvented many of the Journal's pages transforming it into a mult-faceted work of art by inserting collages photomontages and drawings crossing out words in the text and making French puns with others. Hand-colored engravings cutouts and lift-ups pull the reader from one page to the next. The Journal was discovered in his studio after his death in 1972 and is now in the Philadelphia Musuem of Art. Its fragility has made it one of the least known of Cornell's major works. This boxed two-volume set represents a unique effort -- sixty of the most extraordinary pages from the Journal have been re-created in virtual facsimile with handmade details. They are included in a hardbound volume in company with a DVD of the entire Journal including pop-up commentaries as well as a softcover volume of illustrated essays on the Journal and Cornell's art -- all held in a specially designed box reminiscent of Cornell's boxed assemblages. The boxed set contains: Hardcover facsimile; 60 pages 68 color illustrations. Softcover book of essays 96 pages 35 illustrations; DVD of the entire work. Review copy with publisher's news release laid-in. The paper-covered foamboard box 8 x 11 x 2 inches with blue cardboard dividers shows only a single almost invisible one-inch closed tear/crack along the fold between the box's front lid and spine o/w no tears chipping or creasing to the box or any of its contents which are clean and unmarked tight and square. A very unique collectable Cornell item. Sorry we cannot accept orders on this set from outside the U.S. <br/> <br/> Thames & Hudson, Inc. hardcover

199329611Oxford University Press. 1993. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing/dustsoiling to top of textblock. DJ spine sunned.; 168 pages; This book opens a neglected chapter in the reception of Athenian drama especially comedy and gives center stage to a particularly attractive and entertaining series of vase-paintings which have generally been regarded as marginal curiosities. These are the so-called "phylax vases" nearly all painted in Greek cities of South Italy in the period 400 to 360 B. C. Until now they have been taken to reflect a sort of local folk-theater but Taplin argues that most if not all reflect Athenian comedy of the sort represented by Aristophanes. His bold thesis brings up questions about the relation of tragedy as well as comedy to vase painting the cultural climate of the Greek cities in Italy and the extent to which Athenians were aware of drama as a potential "export." It also enriches appreciation of many key aspects of Aristophanic comedy. The book has assembled 47 photographs of vase-paintings many printed here for the first time outside specialist publications not readily accessible. . 019814797X . Oxford University Press hardcover
