Epigrams of Martial Englished by Divers Hands offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential Roman poets, providing a selection of his sharp, satirical, and often provocative works. Martial, known for his witty and biting commentary on the social, political, and sexual norms of ancient Rome, is celebrated for his ability to encapsulate the essence of Roman life in short, concise epigrams. The book includes both original Latin texts and various English translations that showcase Martial's literary genius, offering readers a glimpse into the complexities of Roman society through humor, satire, and occasional obscenity. These epigrams reveal Martial's views on everything from the decadent lifestyles of the elite to the struggles of slaves, making his work a fascinating snapshot of the ancient world.This edition of Epigrams of Martial Englished by Divers Hands also highlights the lasting influence of his work on English literature, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries, when poets like Ben Jonson and Robert Herrick drew inspiration from his sharp wit and concise form. Featuring a rich collection of translations from various time periods, the book provides a unique insight into Martial's impact on poetic tradition, demonstrating how his themes of social criticism, flattery, and humor continue to resonate across generations. The thoughtful selection of epigrams and their accompanying translations offer both scholars and casual readers a deeper appreciation of Martial's wit and his significant place in the canon of classical literature.This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1987.

Propertius
A Critical Introduction
AvJ. P. Sullivan
Häftad, Engelska, 2010
787 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
When this book was first published in 1976, the works of Propertius were becoming increasingly fashionable. Professor Sullivan proposes what was, at the time of publication, a new view on Propertius' poetic development and his place in the social political and literary circles of the day. His was an important re-evaluation. It finally banished the picture of Propertius, put forward before his celebration in the work of Ezra Pound and Robert Lowell, as a simple romantic, apprehended dimly through poor texts and an obscure vocabulary. We are shown instead a more complex, but a more credible and interesting poet. All quotations are in both Latin and English, and the book is intended for the general literary reader as much as for the classical student.
Martial
The Unexpected Classic
AvJ. P. Sullivan
Inbunden, Engelska, 1991

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This is the first full-length study in English of the Roman poet Martial's life, poetry and politics, as well as of the survival of his fifteen books of epigrams and short poems from his death around AD 104 to the present. The subjects examined include his defence of epigram as an art form, his misogyny and obscenity, his style, wit and humour, and, not least, his imperial propaganda. The concluding part of the work examines his high reputation in the Renaissance and the later censorship and neglect of his work until comparatively recently. All the material is presented for a modern objective assessment of his achievement, without in any way disguising the unpleasant aspects of his genius, and the political and literary pressures on poets in Rome at that period.
