Buch
Zustand: Gut. 344 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Minimal lesions. Otherwise in good condition. Dedication of the author in ballpoint pen and a felt-tip pen and pencil entry on endpaper. - Content: One of the most pleasurably memorable experiences of my life was the delivery of the Sather Classical Lectures in April, May, and June of 1973. Everything conspired to en-joyment: the physical surroundings, the climate, the friendly hospitality of colleagues, and by no means least the large, faithful audience that displayed its interest by many questions. Those questions were both critically helpful and of such a kind as to show that reflections on the problems I was discussing prompted my listeners to see analogies not only in other cul-tures and periods, but, very emphatically, also in their own. I very greatly profited from and enjoyed all such discussions; if I have been careful to avoid analogies (even the now very populär analogy with Mannerism) that is due to lack of knowledge and confidence, not to lack of interest and Stimulus. I have taken the opportunity, in preparing the lectures for the printer, to make some changes in format; in particular, I have greatly extended the ränge of quotation, in the belief that most of these writers are more talked of than read. I have trans-lated all quotations into a prose that is designed to help with understanding the Latin or Greek rather than to be read for its own sake; this I did in the hope of making the subject as acces-sible as possible to students of other disciplines. Footnotes have been kept to a bare minimum: they are less designed to acknowl-edge debts than to give the reader Information. Some debts are acknowledged in the Select Bibliography; but that is inadequate for my constant indebtedness to great books, like those, for in-stance, of Friedlaender, Eduard Norden, Ronald Syme, A. D. Leeman, or George Kennedy. Those (and others) are works that pass into the bloodstream of anyone who studies this period. The main intention of the Select Bibliography is to make it easy to trace works mentioned briefly in the notes; but I have also added in an admittedly random fashion works that I am conscious helped me, in one way or another, to reach a point of view. Study of the period has been greatly helped by scholars who have published surveys of the scholarly work done in vari-ous Helds; I have tried to include most of these also. However, I have only been able to notice work published later than 1972 in a very restricted and random way. My warm thanks must go to colleagues and friends in the Classics Department at Berkeley. Especially I thank Bill Anderson, who was chairman when I was there and who constantly helped me, with unfailing kindness. Those who have spent time at Berkeley will instantly understand the warmth of my grati-tude to Kendrick and Betty Pritchett for their generous hospi-tality and for their constant thoughtful anticipation of diflicul-ties that strangers in Berkeley might encounter. I acknowledge, too, the skilled and experienced help which I was most gen-erously given by Bennett Price, who was my research assistant during my stay in Berkeley. His interest in, and knowledge of, rhetorical theory were invaluable to me. I am also greatly in-debted to my old friend and colleague John Simon, who helped me in many ways and not least in correcting the proofs.
