Download or read book Beyond Greek written by Denis Feeney and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History Today Best Book of the Year A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Virgil, Ovid, Cicero, Horace, and other authors of ancient Rome are so firmly established in the Western canon today that the birth of Latin literature seems inevitable. Yet, Denis Feeney boldly argues, the beginnings of Latin literature were anything but inevitable. The cultural flourishing that in time produced the Aeneid, the Metamorphoses, and other Latin classics was one of the strangest events in history. “Feeney is to be congratulated on his willingness to put Roman literary history in a big comparative context...It is a powerful testimony to the importance of Denis Feeney’s work that the old chestnuts of classical literary history—how the Romans got themselves Hellenized, and whether those jack-booted thugs felt anxiously belated or smugly domineering in their appropriation of Greek culture for their own purposes—feel fresh and urgent again.” —Emily Wilson, Times Literary Supplement “[Feeney’s] bold theme and vigorous writing render Beyond Greek of interest to anyone intrigued by the history and literature of the classical world.” —The Economist

Download or read book Greek and Latin Literature of the Roman Empire written by Albrecht Dihle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. as an organic progression. He builds on Schlegel's observation that art, customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature', but all works of cultural socio-historical significance, including Jewish and Christian literature, philosophy and science. Despite this, major authors like Seneca, Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature.

Download or read book The Invention of Literature written by Florence Dupont and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invention of literature, writes Florence Dupont, is recent, and its classical ancestry is not firm. Rather than representing solely the remains of a network of readers and writers, the odes, epics, tales, and dramas of Greece and Rome had a much more diversified background and purpose. Some works were intended to be read in groups; other works were not meant to be read at all. Resisting the traditional temptation to project current tastes and beliefs backward upon Greece and Rome. The Invention of Literature presents classical writings in all their differences. The labor of understanding a lyric or an epic as it was understood in its time requires a radical reconsideration of what reading is and what it means.
Download or read book Selected Articles on the Study of Latin and Greek written by Lamar T. Beman and published by Wren Press. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EXPLANATORY NOTE The Classical Association of the Atlantic States publishedin 1915 a forty page pamphlet entitled The Practical Value of Latin in which were given the opinions of many prominent peopIe advocating the study of Latin and Greek, with an introduction that endeavored to answer most of the more common objections to the study of the dead languages. Three copies of this pamphlet were sent to each member of the association together with a leaflet that asked for their co-operation to get the pamphlet into the hands of those who need it most, the pupils and the parents who have to face the problem whether Latin shall be elected. Lower prices were charged for the pamphlet where a larger number of copies were taken for distribution. The leaflet further stated, It is hoped that many members will purchase copies to be distributed as widely as possible. Members who are not in a position to distribute- copies themselves may wish to contribute to a fund for the distribution of copies such contributions will be most welcome. The pamphlet, on the inside of the first cover, states frankly that it is published in the hope that children and parents both may be guided to a wise choice of studies in school and college by the aid of these convictions of persons of distinction. No criticism is offered here of this organized propaganda, and this is only one small phase of the propaganda carried on by the teachers of the dead languages, but the opinion is expressed that it is seldom possible to reach a wise conclusion on any question that is a matter of public controversy by reading only one side of that case, and that this is particularly true when the ex park statement is so largely a matter of opinions that have been compiIed by interested parties. Children and parents may be, not guided to a choice, but rather given an opportunity to get for themselves the facts that will enable them to decide upon an even wiser choice of studies if they have at their disposaI a little volume that presents fully and fairly the convictions of persons of distinction on both sides of this old and long discussed question, a volume that endeavors to eliminate all bitterness, a volume in the preparation of which is no element of self interest or effort to lead the reader to the conclusian that the editor desires to create in his mind, a volume that endeavors to give so far as possible all the facts and the best of the convictions that is, opinions on both sides. Such is the general plan of the Handbook Series, in accordance with which this volume is compiled. Following the general plan of this series, the present volume endeavors to bring together the best that has been written on both sides of the old controversy over the value of the study of the Latin and Greek languages, to give bibliographical references to a wider field of the best literature of the question, and to include debaters briefs in which the whale argument on each side is presented in skeleton form......
