hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Bernard Knox, "the foremost classicist of our time" (Maynard Mack), presents a collection of illuminating essays on diverse topics, united by their common defense of the classics, by their common concern that renewal and innovation go hand in hand with tradition, and by Knox's wit, humanity, and elegant prose. Backing into the Future opens with a group of essays on individual "Poets and Heroes" of antiquity (exploring such topics as Homers masterly psychological insight into the character of Achilles, the playful and startlingly obscene poetry of Catullus, and Ovid's poetry of exile). The book then spirals gracefully outward to "Men, Gods, and Cities" (including essays on the Delphic Oracle, the brief and glorious appearance of Athenian democracy in fifth-century Athens, the " quarrel" between Greek tragedy and Greek philosophy, and Caligula - an emperor who has been, Knox argues, the victim of centuries of bad press). The collection closes with reflections on "Renewals" - the survival and transformation of the classics into the present age - reflections that include critiques of Derek Walcot's brilliant narrative poem Omeros and T. E. Lawrences fascinating translation of the Odyssey, as well as thoughts on the problems of teaching the classics today. Backing into the Future encompasses the many lives of Bernard Knox - classicist, historian, literary critic, and defender of the humanities - a man who has brought the world of ancient Greece and Rome to life for the uninitiated reader and scholar.…
