Taschenbuch / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 283 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Sehr guter Allgemeinzustand, nur Einband minimal berieben / Very good overall condition, only cover minimally worn. - With the exception of a poem on the unscripted death of a lion in the Colosseum, Book II of Statius Siluae is largely domestic in theme. It reflects the more private side of Roman culture, its pleasures, houses, gardens, friendships, and personal losses; it concludes with a provocative tribute to the poet Lucan. Despite its variety, the book is carefully constructed as a unit, and Carole Newlands puts the book into its context in the history of Greek and Roman poetry. This commentary takes into account the important work done on the text of the Siluae in the past two decades as well as the new perspectives brought to bear on Flavian culture by historians and archaeologists. Carole Newlands explores Statius use of the short poem as a playful engagement with literary tradition that also reflects changing ideas of Roman cultural identity. /CONTENTS Preface Introduction 1 Life 2 The character of the Siluae 3 Title/titles i Siluae ii tituli 4 Themes of book 2 i Overview ii Lament and consolation iii Art and nature: the villa and garden 5 The structure of book 2 6 Patrons and patronage i Patronage in the Flavian age ii Recitation iii The patrons of book 2 7.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. With the exception of a poem on the unscripted death of a lion in the Colosseum, Book II of Statius' Silvae is largely domestic in theme. It reflects the more private side of Roman culture, its pleasures, houses, gardens, friendships, and personal losses; it concludes with a provocative tribute to the poet Lucan. Despite its variety, the book is carefully constructed as a unit, and this edition, which is suitable for use with advanced students, puts the book into its context in the history of Greek and Roman poetry. The commentary takes into account the important work done on the text of the Silvae in the past two decades as well as the new perspectives brought to bear on Flavian culture by historians and archaeologists. It explores Statius' use of the short poem as a playful engagement with literary tradition that also reflects changing ideas of Roman cultural identity. Introduction and commentary designed for advanced students. Written for the most part after the success of the Thebaid, the Silvae present a dialogue between the life of court politics and that of cultured withdrawal, delicately and allusively exploring the competing values of courtly service and private life.
