Condición: Sehr gut. 145 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Pencil entry on endpaper. Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: This book is a lively and provocative reading of the Roman poet Lucan (a.d. 39-65) which casts new light on the Pharsalia, his epic poem and only surviving work. The distinguished classicist W. R. Johnson demonstrates both the need to understand Lucan's epic on its own terms and the injustice of dismissing it as an inferior version of the Aencid. Johnson looks closely at Lucan's treatment of the central figures of the epic, focusing on Lucan's sardonic style and fascination with horror. He concentrates on four larger-than-life figuresErictho, Cato, Pompey, and Caesarwhom he regards as central to Lucan's vision of the fall of the Republic; through them, he addresses the poem's themes and techniques. Placing special emphasis on the black farce characteristic of the poem, Johnson also deals with the grotesque aspects (for example, the snakes and the witch) that other critics have tended to ignore or to underplay as mere rhetoric. Delivered as a scries of Martin Classical Lectures at Oberlin College and revised for book publication, Momentary Monsters will be welcomed by classicists, medievalists, and students of the Renaissance. W. R. Johnson is Professor of Classics and Comparative Studies at the University of Chicago. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, where he received his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, he formerly taught at Cornell University. He is the author of Luxuriance and Economy: Cicero and the Alien Style', Darkness Visible: A Study of Virgil's "Aeneid"; and The Idea of Lyric: Lyric Modes in Ancient and Modern Poetry.
