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). - Lediglich sehr leichte Gebrauchsspuren am Einband, sonst ein sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / only very slight signs of usage on the cover, otherwise a clean copy without markings. - The "classical," Steven Shankman argues, should not be confused with a particular historical period of Western antiquity, although it may owe its original articulation to the literary and philosophical explorations of ancient Greek authors. Shankman's book searches for and attempts to formulate the shape of the continuing presenceas embodied in particular literary works mainly from Western antiquity and the neoclassical and modern periodsof what the author calls a "classical" understanding of literature. For Shankman, literature, defined from a classical perspective, is a coherent, compelling, and rationally defensible representation that resists being reduced either to the mere recording of material reality or to the bare exemplification of an abstract philosophical precept. He derives his definition largely from his reading of Greek literature from Homer through Plato, from the history of literary criticism, and from the Greco-Roman tradition in English, American, and French literature. Shankman reveals unsuspected yet convincing connections among authors of such widely disparate times and places. His idea of the "classic" that authorizes these connections is presented as normative, thus making possible the evaluation of literary works and, in turn, forthright discussion of what constitutes the "literary" as distinct from other kinds of discourse. Shankman's study runs counter to a strong tendency of contemporary criticism that argues precisely against any distinct category of the "literary." He offers a series of interpretations that cumulatively advance theoretical discussion by challenging scholars to rethink the critical paradigms of postmodernism. At the center of the book is a discussion of the quintessentially classic Valery poem Le Cimetière marin and the classic qualities it shares with Pindar's Third Pythian Ode, from which Valery derives the epigraph for his poem. / CONTENTS Preface Acknowledgments PART I: CLASSIC RATIONALITY 1 Plato and Postmodernism 2 Rationalism Ancient and Modern 3 Animal Rationis Capax: Gulliver's Travels and the Classical Experience of Reason 4 Led by the Light of the Maeonian Star: Aristotle on Tragedy and Some Passages in the Odyssey PART II: THE LIMITS OF FORMALISM 5 The Pindaric Tradition and the Quest for Pure Poetry 6 Poetry and the In-Between: Valéry's Le Cimetière marin and Pindar's Third Pythian Ode 7 "Art with Truth ally'd": Pope's Epistle to a Lady as Pindaric Encomium 8 Bonne Musique ou Bonnes Moeurs: Le Neven de Rameau, the Good, and the Beautiful 9 The Pastoral Tradition and the Inheritance of Alexandrian Preciosity PART III: RESISTING THE DIDACTIC HERESY 10 The Ambivalence of the Aeneid and the Ecumenic Age 11 Philosophy as Doctrine, Rhetoric as Panache?

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). - Schutzumschlag etwas abgenutzt, allgemein guter Zustand / Dust jacket somewhat worn, generally in good condition. - Explaining why the English Augustan Age could more accurately be called the "Age of Passion" than the "Age of Reason," this book recovers the interpretive and stylistic aims of Pope and his contemporaries and addresses objections that have lost Pope's Iliad the audience it deserves. Controversial even before the appearance of the first of its six volumes in 1715, the work remains so today, little read in spite of Samuel Johnson's declaration that it is "the noblest version [translation] of poetry the world has ever seen." Steven Shankman shows that Pope's translation embodies a much finer understanding of the sense and spirit of the original than has been generally recognized. Examining relevant documents in the history of literary theory and literary style from antiquity through the eighteenth century, Professor Shankman offers a fresh and full interpretation of Pope's achievement. He also redeems some of Pope's shrewdest observations on key difficulties in the interpretation of Homer. The English Augustan poets could proudly say that, although many of their works were matched or surpassed by ancient Greece and Rome or by more contemporary Italy and France, they alone raised poetic translation to the status of great art. This book illuminates their accomplishment, and it has important implications for problems of literary translation that we face today.
