Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
In making accessible through sound texts and scholarly translations some of the more important monuments of Greek criticism Professor Roberts has done a pioneer service for English-speaking students which might almost be compared with the more sensational labors of the explorers of Egyptian tombs. He has discovered for large numbers of readers books which would have continued as unknown as the lost plays of Menander. If a scholar of taste and ability will for the general good submit himself patiently and without evasion to the pitfalls laid for the translator by a technical and highly specialized vocabulary, he deserves infinite commendation for his courage, his candor, and, in the event of success, for his scholarship. Such reward Professor Roberts has earned before in his translations of Longinus, Dionysius, and Demetrius, and in fuller measure he earns it again for this last product of his zealous interest in Greek rhetoric. In the present volume he has given us a careful text based upon Usener's, and he has made what is apparently the first translation that has ever been produced in English. This is really the "feature" of the edition, and it deserves great praise. It is fluent, readable, and a quick and accurate guide to the interpretation of the Greek text. The annotation is more illustrative than exegetical. A valuable glossary of rhetorical terms has been added which will be of much service for the study of other documents in the same field. In the Introduction and also in the annotation Professor Roberts has been at pains, as he says, "to suggest some of the many points at which Dionysius' principles and precepts are applicable to the modern languages and literatures." This confession of purpose it is fair to keep in mind in passing judgment upon the work as a whole.... --Classical Philology, Volume 5
Imitating Authors
Author: Colin BurrowPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192575155
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 533
Book Description
Imitating Authors is a major study of the theory and practice of imitatio (the imitation of one author by another) from antiquity to the present day. It extends from early Greek texts right up to recent fictions about clones and artificial humans, and illuminates both the theory and practice of imitation. At its centre lie the imitating authors of the English Renaissance, including Ben Jonson and the most imitated imitator of them all, John Milton. Imitating Authors argues that imitation was not simply a matter of borrowing words, or of alluding to an earlier author. Imitators learnt practices from earlier writers. They imitated the structures and forms of earlier writing in ways that enabled them to create a new style which itself could be imitated. That made imitation an engine of literary change. Imitating Authors also shows how the metaphors used by theorists to explain this complex practice fed into works which were themselves imitations, and how those metaphors have come to influence present-day anxieties about imitation human beings and artificial forms of intelligence. It explores relationships between imitation and authorial style, its fraught connections with plagiarism, and how emerging ideas of genius and intellectual property changed how imitation was practised. In refreshing and jargon-free prose Burrow explains not just what imitation was in the past, but how it influences the present, and what it could be in the future. Imitating Authors includes detailed discussion of Plato, Roman rhetorical theory, Virgil, Lucretius, Petrarch, Cervantes, Ben Jonson, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth, Mary Shelley, and Kazuo Ishiguro.

The Consolation of Boethius as Poetic Liturgy
Author: Stephen BlackwoodPublisher: Oxford Early Christian Studies
ISBN: 0198718314
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages, literature was read with the ear as much as with the eye: silent reading was the exception; audible reading, the norm. This highly original book shows that Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy--one of the most widely-read texts in Western history--aims to affect the listener through the designs of its rhythmic sound. Stephen Blackwood argues that the Consolation's metres are arranged in patterns that have a therapeutic and liturgical purpose: as a bodily mediation of the text's consolation, these rhythmic patterns enable the listener to discern the eternal in the motion of time. The Consolation of Boethius as Poetic Liturgy vividly explores how in this acoustic encounter with the text philosophy becomes a lived reality, and reading a kind of prayer.
