Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume ranges in time over a very long period and covers the Greeks' most original contributions to intellectual history. It begins and ends with philosophy, but it also includes major sections on historiography and oratory. Although each of these areas had functions which in the modern world would not be considered 'literary', the ancients made a less sharp distinction between intellectual and artistic production, and the authors included in this volume are some of Europe's most powerful stylists: Plato, Herodotus, Thucydides and Demosthenses.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this widely praised book, an eminent classicist examines Sophocles' Oedipus Tyrannus in the context of fifth-century B.C. Athens. In attempting to discover what the play meant to Sophocles' contemporaries-and in particular in disentangling Sophocles' ideas from Freud's psychoanalytical interpretations-Bernard Knox casts fresh light on its timeless and universal nature. For this edition, Knox has provided a new preface and a list of suggested readings. 'What a joy it is to welcome this book back in print. As perennial as Sophocles' great play itself, Knox's work has never gone out of date, and never will.'-Robert Fagles Reviews of the earlier editions: 'A superb analysis, demonstrating that when classical study is aware of Freud and the techniques of modern literary criticism, it can be as exciting nowadays as it must have been during the Renaissance.'-New Yorker 'A superb critical and textual investigation.'-New York Times 'One of the major contributions to Sophoclean and to Greek studies in recent years.'-Virginia Quarterly Review 'A magnificent contribution . which is really required reading.'-Cedric Whitman, American Journal of Philology 'A brilliant piece of work combining the best of classical scholarship with the best of modern literary criticism.'-John E. Rexine, Hellenic World.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The emphasis of this volume is on Greek literature produced in the period between the foundation of Alexandria late in the fourth century B.C. and the end of the 'high empire' in the third century A.D. Here we see a shift away from the city states of the Greek mainland to the new centres of culture and power, first Alexandria under the Ptolemies and then imperial Rome, Greek literature, being traditionally cosmopolitan, adapted to these changes with remarkable success, and through the efficiency of the Hellenistic educational system Greek literary culture became the essential mark of an educated person in the Graeco-Roman world.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Should the ancient Greeks-'the oldest dead white European males'-be kept alive in our collective memory Why study them at all if, by passing their destructive ideas to the Romans and eventually to the rest of Europe, they may ultimately be responsible for much of what's wrong with American society In this 'supremely lucid and elegant' book (The New Yorker), Bernard Knox poses and answers such fundamental questions, helping us to remember the astonishing originality of the ancient Greeks and all that we have learned-and continue to learn-from them.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Linked by the events of Bernard Knox's remarkable life, the twenty-five chapters of 'Essays Ancient and Modern' cover subjects ranging from Hesiod, Homer, and Thucydides to Auden, Forster, and the Spanish Civil War. With a masterful eye for the telling detail, Knox continually reminds us that we share the present with antiquity's living past. A soldier in Italy finds a battered book in the rubble of a bombed-out firehouse-- and opens it to read Virgil's denunciation of war. An illiterate Greek bard composes a garbled Homeric song to celebrate the recent heroism of local partisans. A traveler heading north from modern Athens must choose between the Sacred Way-- or the NATO Road.Whether the subject is the role of women in ancient Athens or the novelists of modern Italy, the wit and erudition of Bernard Knox never fail to instruct and delight. Now in paperback, 'Essays Ancient and Modern' takes it place alongside the distinguished essays of Knox's 'Word and Action', a book whose title brings together, in the words of Anthony Hecht, 'the double strand of his admirable career'.…
