The Passions in Play
Thyestes and the Dynamics of Senecan Drama
AvAlessandro Schiesaro
Häftad, Engelska, 2007
824 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This monograph is devoted to the most important of Seneca's tragedies, Thyestes, which has had a notable influence on Western drama from Shakespeare to Antonin Artaud. Thyestes emerges as the mastertext of 'Silver' Latin poetry, and as an original reflection on the nature of theatre comparable to Euripides' Bacchae. The book analyses the complex structure of the play, its main themes, the relationship between Seneca's vibrant style and his obsession with dark issues of revenge and regression. Substantial discussion of other plays - especially Trojan Women, Oedipus and Medea - permits a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seneca's poetics and its pivotal role in post-Virgilian literature. Topics explored include the relationship between Seneca's plays and his theory of the emotions, the connection between poetic inspiration and the Underworld, and Seneca's treatment of time, which, in a perspective informed by psychoanalysis, is seen as a central preoccupation of Senecan tragedy.
The Roman Cultural Revolution

This book places culture centre-stage in the investigation of the transformation of Rome from Republic to Empire. It is the first book to attempt to understand the so-called Roman Revolution as a cultural phenomenon. Instead of regarding cultural changes as dependent on political developments, the essays consider literary, artistic, and political changes as manifestations of a basic transformation of Roman culture. In Part I the international group of contributors discusses the changes in the cultural systems under the topics of authority, gender and sexuality, status and space in the city of Rome, and in Part II through specific texts and artifacts as they refract social, political, and economic changes. The essays draw on the latest methods in literary and cultural work to present a holistic approach to the Augustan Cultural Revolution.

The Roman statesman, philosopher and playwright Lucius Annaeus Seneca dramatically influenced the progression of Western thought. His works have had an unparalleled impact on the development of ethical theory, shaping a code of behavior for dealing with tyranny in his own age that endures today. This Companion thoroughly examines the complete Senecan corpus, with special emphasis on the aspects of his writings that have challenged interpretation. The authors place Seneca in the context of the ancient world and trace his impressive legacy in literature, art, religion, and politics from Neronian Rome to the early modern period. Through critical discussion of the recent proliferation of Senecan studies, this volume compellingly illustrates how the perception of Seneca and his particular type of Stoicism has evolved over time. It provides a comprehensive overview that will benefit students and scholars in classics, comparative literature, history, philosophy and political theory, as well as general readers.

Latin Hexameter Poetry and its Reception
Essays in Honour of Philip Hardie

Earlier versions of most of the papers included in this volume were delivered at a conference held in 2022 to honour Philip Hardie on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Seven chapters are concerned with Virgil, the author on whom Professor Hardie has worked most. Alessandro Barchiesi discusses the influence of Lycophron on the Aeneid, Sergio Casali the passing of time in books 8–10 of the Aeneid, Joseph Farrell the ethnicity of Iopas, Elena Giusti Dido, George Kazantzidis Sophocles and the Georgics, Stephen Oakley Ascanius’ education, and Gail Trimble Virgil and Catullus. In other chapters, Stephen Hinds writes about Ausonius, Aaron Kachuck about Horace, and Alessandro Schiesaro about Ovid, and Ingo Gildenhard discusses the broad topic of epic justice. The reception of Latin poetry, another subject to which Professor Hardie has devoted much energy, is the subject of other papers: Maya Feile Tomes writes about the reception of Ovid’s poetry from exile in the Latin literature of South America, Stephen Harrison about Thomas Campion’s De pulverea coniuratione, Yasmin Haskell about Lucretius and the Jesuits, and Helen Lovatt about the reception of the Aeneid in the works of Ursula Le Guin.
