Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Occasional pencil notes, else a bright, clean copy. The study of closure has played a significant part in contemporary literary criticism and is implicated in many of its concerns, from psychological aspects of the search for an end in narrative to the order imposed upon a text by politics or culture. This collection is the first large- scale attempt to assess the implications of closure for the study of classical literature. Twelve new essays by an international group of scholars focus on endings in Greek and Latin literature and demonstrate the different sorts of questions these endings pose: What narrative strategies did Hellenistic novelists employ? What is the political subtext of Ovid's half-finished roman calendar? What cultural work is performed by the portrayal of a warrior's heroic end in the Iliad? Embracing a wide range of ancient authors and genres, the collection begins by closely examining critical approaches to closure, and ends with a comparative discussion of ancient and modern narrative. The extensive bibliography includes a survey of work in different fields that further illustrates the variety of approaches to closure. Each of the editors has contributed an essay to this volume. Additional contributors include Sheila Murnaghan, Ian Rutherford, Carolyn Dewald, Peta Fowler, Philip Hardie, W. R. Johnson, Alessandro Barchiesi, Massimo Fusillo, and Christopher Pelling.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The ways in which literary works begin have proved fascinating to readers and critics at least since Aristophanes. This collection of essays gives life to a topic of perennial interest by presenting a variety of original readings in nearly all the major genres of Greek and Latin literature. The subjects of these essays range from narrative voices in the opening of the Odyssey to ideological reasons for Tacitus' choice of a beginning in the Histories, and from a survey of opening devices in Greek poetry to the playwright's negotiations with the audience in Roman comedy. Other papers discuss 'false starts' in Gorgias and Herodotus, the prologues of Greek tragedy, Plato's 'frame' dialogues, delayed proems in Virgil, the role of the patron in Horace, aristocratic beginnings in Seneca, and 'inappropriate' prefaces in Plutarch. By embracing a variety of authors and a broad range of approaches, from formal analysis of opening devices to post-structural interpretation, these twelve contributions by both younger and established scholars offer an exciting new perspective on beginnings in classical literature.

Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, leicht berieben/clean text pages, minor traces of use, slightly rubbed. Closure and Innovation in Euripidean Drama. Dunn explores the novel gestures that close the dramas of Euripides, showing how these deny access to an authoritative reading of the plays, reinforce innovations in plot and structure, and open up tragedy to comic, parodic, and narrative impulses. The author provides a large-scale study of closure in classical literature, and includes readings of plot, ending, and generic innovation in 'Hyppolytus', 'Trojan women', 'Hercules', and the late plays 'Helen', 'Orestes', and 'Phoenician Women'.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth, with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout, and without inscriptions. There is a publisher's 'damaged' stamp to the title page (although no notable damage is visible other than a small black pen mark to the bottom edge of the closed text block). Complete with the near fine, lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which is just a little toned to the extreme top edge, and otherwise without loss, or tears. The author argues that the infamous and artificial endings in Euripides' works deny the viewer access to a stable or authoritative reading of the play, and offers the first large-scale study of closure in classical literature through close examinations of plot, ending, and generic innovation in 'Hippolytus', 'Trojan Women', 'Heracles', 'Helen', 'Orestes', and 'Phoenician Women'.

A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents, except for the aforementioned annotations, clean throughout.

His song is unique and his work an inspiration." (Harold Pinter). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

The Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts (abbreviated as the HMC) was established in 1869 "to make enquiry as to the places where manuscripts and private papers of historical interest were located and to report on their contents". The HMC's offices were located at Quality House, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, close to the old Public Record Office. The general public were able to visit Quality House during regular office hours to use the National Register of Archives, a computer database of archival references drawn from catalogues and published lists of manuscripts, useful for the study of British history, held in private hands and repositories in both the UK and overseas. In April 2003 the Keeper of Public Records became the sole Historical Manuscripts Commissioner. The chief executive of the National Archives is now Keeper of Public Records and Commissioner of Historical Manuscripts.
