Nell'ultimo scorcio del secolo XIX, Pater inventa un particolare sentimento dell'antico come falsificazione anticipata - palinsesto del moderno. Quasi teatralmente scenario, sullo sfondo del quale l'artista viene visto muovere le sue ombre. Come nei Ritratti immaginari e in Mario Epicureo, anche nei saggi che andarono poi a tornare la raccolta editorialmente denominata Studi greci, egli impegna la sua grande competenza di studioso e di filologo, nonché il suo alto magistero stilistico, in una rivisitazione e revisione del mondo classico in funzione del moderno e delle sue forme. La sua scrittura evocativa, introspettiva, lavora a estrarre narrazione dalla figura mitica, così come dal gruppo scultoreo, facendo di quello che egli chiama studio una forma anticipatrice del romanzo moderno. Inedita per l'Italia la prestigiosa raccolta che presentiamo racchiude saggi dedicati alla poesia e alla mitologia greca da una parte e, dall'altra, alla storia della scultura e dell'architettura greca. II volume, corredato da illustrazioni tratte da materiale iconografico contemporaneo a Pater, comprende i seguenti saggi: Studio di Dionisio; Le Baccanti; Il mito di Demetra e Persefone; Ippolito velato; I primordi della scultura greca; I marmi di Egina; L'età dei vincitori atletici. [...] l'intero mondo, nero e grigio, della scultura antica giunta fino a noi, avrebbe bisogno di essere ritradotto in oro e avorio, se volessimo sentire l'eccitazione che sembra abbiano provato i greci alla presenza di tali oggetti. Walter Pater (Londra 1839-Oxford 1894) saggista e narratore inglese. I frequenti contatti con i preraffaelliti gli diedero modo di approfondire il suo interesse per l'arte e la letteratura. Tra le sue opere oltre ai già citati Mario l'Epicureo (1885) e Ritratti immaginari (1887), ricordiamo: Apprezzamenti (1889), Platone e il platonismo (1893), Il fanciullo nella casa (1894). La Conclusione dei suoi Studi sul Rinascimento (1873) divenne una sorta di manifesto del nuovo edonismo anti-vittoriano, e la sua prosa elegante influenzò un intera generazione di intellettuali. In questi saggi scritti in un arco di tempo di vent'anni, tra il 1875 e il 1894, e apparsi postumi con la denominazione di "Studi greci", Walter Pater (1839-1894) impegna la sua competenza di studioso e di filologo in una rivisitazione del mondo classico in funzione del moderno e delle sue forme. La raccolta che qui presentiamo racchiude saggi dedicati alla poesia e alla mitologia greca da una parte, e alla storia della scultura e dell'architettura greca dall'altra. Il volume è corredato da splendide illustrazioni tratte dal materiale iconografico contemporaneo a Pater.

Light edgewear to wraps. Spine a bit creased. ; This lavishly illustrated catalogue coincides with a major international exhibition celebrating images of Cleopatra. It explores how she was depicted during her own era, in works ranging from coins to life-size sculpture. Exciting new discoveries are featured--including seven Egyptian-style statues believed to represent Cleopatra, and two portraits probably commissioned while she was living in Rome with Julius Caesar. The book also examines interpretations of Cleopatra from the Renaissance to modern times, as seen in paintings, ceramics, jewelry, plays, operas, and film. In addition, recent archaeological finds from Alexandria (Cleopatra's capital) and from Rome illustrate aspects of life in Cleopatra's day. ; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; 384 pages
Review of book tipped in. Dustjacket has faint creasing; 0.85 x 9.32 x 6.32 Inches; 240 pages; Theseus is celebrated as the greatest of Athenian heroes. This work explores what he meant to the Athenians at the height of their city-state in the fifth century B. C. Assembling material that has been scattered in scholarly works, Henry Walker examines the evidence for the development of themyth and cult of Theseus in the archaic age. He then looks to major works of classical literature in which Theseus figures, exploring the contradictions between the archaic, primitive side of his character and his refurbished image as the patron of democracy. His ambiguous nature as outsider, flouting accepted standards of behavior, while at the same time being a hero-king and a representative of higher ideals, is analyzed through his representations in the work of Bacchylides, Euripides, and Sophocles. This is the only work of scholarship that examines the literary representation ofTheseus so thoroughly. It brings to life a literary character whose virtues, flaws, and contradictions belong in no less a degree to his creators, the people of Athens.
