Excerpt from An Introduction to Octavia Pr�texta: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment, of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Philosophy at Columbia University in the City of New York

As regards the difference between the two peoples in the idea of what is essential in a drama, the Roman audience did not feel the intricate detail of plot as of prime importance: but their love of grandeur and force, and their admiration for whatever produces an emotional tension, were truly tragic qualities. Their poetic feel ing, though obscured by the utilitarian view they took of life, is shown by their tendency to put public inscrip tions into verse (as the elogia on the tombs of the Scipios) and by their sensibility to dramatic events (as the death of Virginia and the murder of This latter characteristic will be considered more in detail in the succeeding chapter on the Praetexta.

Excerpt from An Introduction to Octavia Pr�texta: Submitted in Partial Fulfilment, of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, in the Faculty of Philosophy at Columbia University in the City of New York

By most writers upon Latin literature the opinion has been held, and defended with more or less vigor, that Roman tragedy was very inferior in quality, and of little importance in comparison with other productions of the Latin writers. This view is due in part to the almost complete disappearance of the works of the tragedians, in part to the idea that the value of such Roman productions may be estimated by applying to them the standard imposed by Greek environment, or by modern. A sympathetic study of the development of the Latin drama cannot fail at least in some degree to modify this view.

That the Greek influence was strong, and that Latin tragedy derived its main outlines from Hellas, is not to be denied. There were plays before foreign influence was felt at all: the word hister is Etruscan, and the Atellanes, Oscan dialect pieces, were familiar long before 240 B. C. But the very fact that Livius Andronicus, N�vius, Ennius, and Pacuvius were none of them Roman citizens by birth would make an autochthonous Roman tragedy out of the question.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
