Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this collection of twelve of his essays, distinguished Virgil scholar Michael Putnam examines the Aeneid from several different interpretive angles. He identifies the themes that permeate the epic, provides detailed interpretations of its individual books, and analyzes the poem's influence on later writers, including Ovid, Lucan, Seneca, and Dante. In addition, a major essay on wrathful Aeneas and the tactics of Pietas is published here for the first time. Putnam first surveys the intellectual development that shaped Virgil's poetry. He then examines several of the poem's recurrent dichotomies and metaphors, including idealism and realism, the line and the circle, and piety and fury. In succeeding chapters, he examines in detail the meaning of particular books of the Aeneid and argues that a close reading of the end of the epic is crucial for understanding the poem as a whole and Virgil's goals in composing it.…

Reprint, stapled. Zustand: Gut. p. 21-32. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name underlined on cover, 5 very small notes, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: Of the three surviving elegists of the Roman Augustan age, Tibullus is little read, less appreciated. Propertius fascinates by his intensity, his gnarled propulsion of idea which forces careful attention to the process as well as the wholeness of a poem. Ovid's facile warmth and smooth irony win ready admirers. With Tibullus praise was not always so faint. A younger contemporary of Virgil (he died the same year, 19 B. C.), he is mentioned twice with affectionate concern by Horace whereas Propertius receives but a passing jibe. Ovid in the Amores elegizes his death and on more than one subsequent occasion shows a preference for Tibullus, a judgment that Quintilian forthrightly echoes two generations later. Modem criticism, more patronizing than productive, lauds his ease and clarity of diction which serves, we are told, as suitable vehicle for a mind which delicately, if somewhat hazily, balances elegiac and pastoral subjects. But was this praiser of the past, sufferer of the moment, whose chief gods were Pax and Spes (a calm present, a stable future), as aloof from immediate concerns as he is usually envisioned? Would escape be such a necessary desire to one who had not felt, and therefore as a poet needed to expound, life's bitter side? - Wikipedia: Michael Courtney Jenkins Putnam (born September 20, 1933) is an American classicist specializing in Latin literature, but has also studied literature written in many other languages.

Extrait. Zustand: Gut. p. 850-857. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Cover slightly rubbed, author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: The central thought of Catullus' little scolion -- Away with water ! Mix me purer, stronger draughts ! -- is not new. Its ancestry has been traced to Anacreon and, with clearer direction, to Diphilus. But a literary pedigree, however unsullied, should not mislead us into dismissing the poem as "little more than an expansion of some verses of Diphilus" (Ellis) or as "Ein stilisierter Trinkspruch" (Kroll). Pedigree need not obscure matter and manner essentially Catullian. - Wikipedia: Michael Courtney Jenkins Putnam (born September 20, 1933) is an American classicist specializing in Latin literature, but has also studied literature written in many other languages.
