Sites of Rome

Rome was a building site for much of its history, a city continually reshaped and reconstituted in line with political and cultural change. In later times, the conjunction of ruins and rebuilding lent the cityscape a particularly fascinating character, much exploited by artists and writers. This layering and changing of vistas also finds expression in the literary tradition, from classical times right up to the twenty-first-century. This collection of essays offers glimpses, sideways glances and unexpected angles that open up Rome in its widest possible sense, and explores how the visible components of Rome - the hills, the Tiber, the temples, the Forums, the Colosseum, the statues and monuments - operate as, or become, the sites/sights of Rome.The analyses are informed by contemporary critical thinking and draw on ancient historical narrative, Roman poetry, Renaissance literature and cartography, art of the Grand Tour era, Russian and Soviet interpretations, and twentieth-century cinema.

A substantial portion of Michael Longley's work is inspired by the literatures of ancient Greece and Rome which he studied at university. He said that these classically-inspired poems were 'at the core of my efforts'. In this volume Longley explains in an interview what his classical education meant to him and what it did for him—inter alia, it instilled a command of syntax which 'enabled virtuosic display', and revealed a 'mythology which explains us to ourselves and helps us to make sense of our predicaments'.The volume is written by classicists, trained in the discipline in which Longley was trained. In ten survey chapters Maureen Alden (who, in the course of a forty-year friendship with the poet often suggested passages which might interest and inspire him) provides comprehensive and classically-focused coverage of the classical references and allusions in Longley's oeuvre, his use of the ancient texts—'spiritual echo chambers'—for his own poetic purposes, and the role of the classically-inspired poems in the structure of each collection. In specialist chapters David Larmour explores the Ovidian versions of The Ghost Orchid; Paul Allen Miller discusses Longley's early poem 'Cornelia', a version of 'Propertius's great death ode' 4.11, and his later versions of the same poem; and Seth Schein examines how Longley achieves his freeze-framing technique and how his elegies can achieve an emotional power even greater than that of the original in the Iliad. The survey chapters are illustrated by a table detailing all the 'classical' poems with exact references, dates, and summary notes. A timeline indicates key events of the poet's life together with an outline of the political events on which ancient texts, especially Homer, allowed him to comment obliquely. Michael Longley read and approved the entire text except that which concerns his last collection which is to appear in 2027.

Arena of Satire
Juvenal's Search for Rome

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
In this first comprehensive reading of Juvenal's satires in more than fifty years, David H. J. Larmour deftly revises and sharpens our understanding of the second-century Roman writer who stands as the archetype for all later practitioners of the satirist's art.The enduring attraction of Juvenal's satires is twofold: they not only introduce the character of the ""angry satirist"" but also offer vivid descriptions of everyday life in Rome at the height of the Empire. In Larmour's interpretation, these two elements are inextricably linked. The Arena of Satire presents the satirist as flaneur traversing the streets of Rome in search of its authentic core - those distinctly Roman virtues that have disappeared amid the corruption of the age. What the vengeful, punishing satirist does to his victims, as Larmour shows, echoes what the Roman state did to outcasts and criminals in the arena of the Colosseum.The fact that the arena was the most prominent building in the city and is mentioned frequently by Juvenal makes it an ideal lens through which to examine the spectacular and punishing characteristics of Roman satire. And the fact that Juvenal undertakes his search for the uncorrupted, authentic Rome within the very buildings and landmarks that make up the actual, corrupt Rome of his day gives his sixteen satires their uniquely paradoxical and contradictory nature. Larmour's exploration of ""the arena of satire"" guides us through Juvenal's search for the true Rome, winding from one poem to the next. He combines close readings of passages from individual satires with discussions of Juvenal's representation of Roman space and topography, the nature of the ""arena"" experience, and the network of connections among the satirist, the gladiator, and the editor - or producer - of Colosseum entertainments. The Arena of Satire also offers a new definition of ""Juvenalian satire"" as a particular form arising from the intersection of the body and the urban landscape - a form whose defining features survive in the works of several later satirists, from Jonathan Swift and Evelyn Waugh to contemporary writers such as Russian novelist Victor Pelevin and Irish dramatist Martin McDonagh.

Russian Literature and the Classics attempts to fill a gap. To date there has been no book-length, systematic study of the impact of antiquity on Russian literature and culture. While by no means claiming to offer a comprehensive approach, the authors focus on various aspects of the influence which the Classics have had on Russian literature at particularly significant junctures - the beginning of the nineteenth century; the age of the great Russian realist novel; the "Silver Age"; Stalin''s terror; the "Thaw" after 1956; and the period just before the collapse of Soviet society. In their introductory essay the editors offer an overview of the Classical Tradition. In it, they provide an insight into the contrasting ways in which that tradition manifested itself in the literatures of Western Europe and of Russia.
