X., 330 Seiten / 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 Zustand / very good condition - This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career-Virgil (the rotaVergiliana), Horace and Ovid - the volume then looks at alternative and countermodels in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns is examined, from Dante to Wordsworth, and including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden and Goethe. These chapters pose the question of the continuing relevance of ancient career models as ideas of authorship change over the centuries, leading to varying engagements and disengagements with classical literary careers. The volume also considers other ways of concluding or extending a literary career, such as bookburning and figurative metempsychosis. - CONTENTS -- Introduction: Literary careers - Classical models and their receptions philip hardie and Helen -- MOORE -- SomeVirgilianunities michael c. j. putnam -- There and back again: Horace s poetic career -- STEPHEN HARRISON -- The Ovidian career model: Ovid, Gallus, Apuleius, -- Boccaccio -- ALESSANDRO BARCHIESI AND PHILIP HARDIE -- An elegist's career: from Cynthia to Cornelia -- STEPHEN HEYWORTH -- Persona and satiric career in Juvenal -- CATHERINE KEANE -- The indistinct literary careers of Cicero and Pliny the Younger roy gibson and Catherine steel -- Re-inventing Virgil s wheel: the poet and his work from Dante to Petrarch Andrew laird -- Did Shakespeare have a literary career? -- PATRICK CHENEY -- New spins on old rotas: Virgil, Ovid, Milton -- MAGGIE KILGOUR -- Bookburning and the poetic deathbed: the legacy of Virgil NITAKREVANS -- Literary afterlives: metempsychosis from Ennius to -- Jorge Luis Borges stuart gillespie -- Mirrored doubles : Andrew Marvell, the remaking ofpoetry and the poet s career nigel smith -- Dryden and the complete career Raphael lyne -- Goethe s elegiac sabbatical Joseph farrell -- Wordsworth s career prospects: peculiar language and public epigraphs nicola trott -- Epilogue: Inventing a life - a personal view of literary careers lawrence lipking.
