Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. First Edition. A firm and square hardback with sharp corners and strong joints, just showing a few very minor rubs. Hence a non-text page has a small publisher's 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book is actually in nearly new condition. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight; no pen-marks. Now offered for sale at a very sensible price. Artikel-Nr. 202087

Vivere secundum Horatium: Otto Vaenius Emblemata Horatiana by ROLAND MAYER -- 12. The poets voice: allusive dialogue in Ben Jonsons Horatian poetry by V. A. MOUL -- 13. Theme and variation: Horace in Popes correspondence by NIALL RUDD -- 14. Appropriating Horace in eighteenth-century France by RUSSELL GOULBOURNE -- 15. Horace and eighteenth-century commentary by PENELOPE WILSON -- 16. Horace and the Victorians by STEPHEN HARRISON -- 17. A late flowering of English Alcaics by JOHN TALBOT. - Throughout his work, the Roman poet Horace displays many, sometimes conflicting, faces: these include dutiful son, expert lover, gentleman farmer, man about town, outsider, poet laureate, sharp satirist and measured moraliser. This book features a wide array of essays by an international team of scholars from a number of different academic disciplines, each one shedding new light on aspects of Horaces poetry and its later reception in literature, art and scholarship from antiquity to the present day. In particular, the collection seeks to investigate the fortunes ofHorace both as a literary personality and as a uniquely varied textual corpus of enormous importance to western culture. The poems shape an author to suit his poetic aims; readers reshape that author to suit their own aesthetic, social and political needs. Studying these various versions of Horace and their interaction illuminates the author, his poetry and his readers. - L. B. T. HOUGHTON is Lecturer in Classics at the University of Glasgow.
