Recensione
"Reorganizes the field and challenges our preconceptions in both familiar areas and in disciplines that are not usually treated in studies on the classical tradition. A must read."
--Craig Kallendorf, Texas A&M University
"An exciting read: energetic, considered, sparklingly written. One gets the feeling that all angles have been properly covered. An ambitious project brilliantly realized."
--Matthew Bell, King's College London
"The authors have pulled off the seemingly impossible task of fusing their three voices into a single, urgently argued discourse, and for that reason among many others, this will be a wonderful book to read and to use, for all kinds of readers."
--Terence Cave, St John's College, Oxford
"I found the text very readable and I particularly enjoyed the post-post-modernist take on many issues. It is hugely stimulating and intriguing throughout."
--Deborah Howard, University of Cambridge
"I think this is an absolutely splendid text, unique in conception, elegant and ingenious in design, and extremely 'user-friendly' in styling and presentation."
--David Hopkins, Bristol University

Hardcover with dustjacket. Condizione: USED_VERYGOOD. XII, 516 p.: Ill. 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 berieben, mit leichten Randläsuren, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatz / dust jacket rubbed, with slight edge wear, pencil annotation on endpaper. - The classical tradition - the legacy of Ancient Greece and Rome - is a large, diverse, and important field that continues to shape human endeavour and engender wide public interest. The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought presents an original, coherent, and wide-ranging guide to the afterlife of Greco-Roman antiquity in later Western cultures and a ground-breaking reinterpretation of large aspects of Western culture as a whole - English-speaking, French^ German, and Italian - from a classical perspective. Encompassing almost two millennia of developments in art, literature, and thought, the authors provide an overview of the field, a concise point of reference, and a critical review of selected examples, from Titian to T. S. Eliot, from the hero to concepts of government. They engage in current theoretical debate on various fronts, from hermeneutics to gender. Themes explored include the Western languages and their continuing engagement with Latin and Greek; the role of translation; the intricate relationship of pagan and Christian; the ideological implications of the classical tradition; the interplay between the classical tradition and the histories of scholarship and education; the relation between high and low culture; and the myriad complex relationships - comparative, contrastive, and interactive - between art, literature, and thought themselves. Authoritative and accessible, The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought offers new insights into the powerful legacy of the ancient world from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present day. / Contents List of Figures List of Plates Prologue Acknowledgements Part I Overview §1 The Classical Tradition and the Scope of Our Book 3 §2 Mapping the Field 10 §3 Eras 15 §4 Sustaining the Tradition: Classics and Education 32 §5 Authority and Authorities 52 §6 Masters of Knowledge 61 §7 Models of Style 69 §8 Beacons of Morality 79 §9 Love Guides 87 §10 Special Relationships 98 §11 The Visual Arts: Contexts and Connections 102 §12 Popular Culture and Its Problematics 119 §13 Languages and Language 137 §14 Modes of Engagement 166 §15 Translation 173 §16 Science and Sensibility 199 §17 Looking at the Past 224 §18 The Classical Tradition - and the Rest 241 Part II Archetypes § 19 Preface §20 The Dome §21 The Hero §22 Word-Genres Part III The Imaginary §23 Preface §24 Myth §25 The City: Rome §26 Forms of Government §27 The Order of Things Part IV Making a Difference §28 Preface §29 Originators §30 Points of Departure §31 Ideas and Action Part V Contrasts and Comparisons §32 Preface §33 Painting §34 Political Thought §35 Poetry Epilogue Bibliography Index.
