Book The Oxford Handbook of the Second Sophistic

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Second Sophistic written by Daniel S. Richter and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 777 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative newcomer to the Anglophone field of classics, and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation. This Handbook offers a diversity of scholarly voices that attempt to define the state of this developing field. Included are chapters that offer practical guidance on the wide range of valuable textual materials that survive, many of which are useful or even core to inquiries of particularly current interest (e.g., gender studies, cultural history of the body, sociology of literary culture, history of education and intellectualism, history of religion, political theory, history of medicine, cultural linguistics, intersection of the classical traditions and early Christianity).

Book The Influence of the Second Sophistic on the Style of the Sermons of Saint Basil the Great

Download or read book The Influence of the Second Sophistic on the Style of the Sermons of Saint Basil the Great written by James Marshall Campbell A. M. and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since M. Puech proposed the question of the indebtedness of patristic eloquence to the contemporary sophistic in the Revue de synthèse historique for June 1901, three dissertations have been published bearing directly on phases of that ample problem. M. Méridier has studied the influence of the Second Sophistic upon St. Gregory of Nyssa; Guignet has studied St. Gregory of Nazianzus in his contacts with the contemporary rhetoric; Father Ameringer, out of the vast bulk of St. John Chrysostom, has traced the sophistic influence on the style of the panegyrical sermons of that orator. The following study aims to furnish such a paragraph in answer to M. Puech’s question as will result from a careful study of the style of the 46 sermons of St. Basil that are found in the Benedictine edition.

Book Beyond the Second Sophistic

    Book Details:
  • Author : Tim Whitmarsh
  • Publisher : University of California Press
  • Release : 2020-05-05
  • ISBN : 0520344588
  • Pages : 292 pages

Download or read book Beyond the Second Sophistic written by Tim Whitmarsh and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “Second Sophistic” traditionally refers to a period at the height of the Roman Empire’s power that witnessed a flourishing of Greek rhetoric and oratory, and since the 19th century it has often been viewed as a defense of Hellenic civilization against the domination of Rome. This book proposes a very different model. Covering popular fiction, poetry and Greco-Jewish material, it argues for a rich, dynamic, and diverse culture, which cannot be reduced to a simple model of continuity. Shining new light on a series of playful, imaginative texts that are left out of the traditional accounts of Greek literature, Whitmarsh models a more adventurous, exploratory approach to later Greek culture. Beyond the Second Sophistic offers not only a new way of looking at Greek literature from 300 BCE onwards, but also a challenge to the Eurocentric, aristocratic constructions placed on the Greek heritage. Accessible and lively, it will appeal to students and scholars of Greek literature and culture, Hellenistic Judaism, world literature, and cultural theory.

Book The Second Sophistic

    Book Details:
  • Author : Graham Anderson
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 1993-09-16
  • ISBN : 0203974050
  • Pages : 318 pages

Download or read book The Second Sophistic written by Graham Anderson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1993-09-16 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sophism was the single most important movement in second century literature: prose of that period came to be written as entertainment rather than confined to historical subjects. Graham Anderson shows how the Greek sophists' skills in public speaking enabled them to perform effectively across a variety of activities. As he presents the sophists' roles as civic celebrities side-by-side with their roles as transmitters of Hellenic culture and literary artists, a co-ordinated view of the Second Sophistic as a complex phenomenon emerges.
