Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Cave paintings at Lascaux, France and Altamira, Spain, fraught with expression thousands of years later; point to an early human desire to form a cultural identity. In the Oxford Companion to World Mythology, David Leeming explores the role of mythology, or myth-logic, in history and determines that the dreams of specific cultures add up to a larger collective story of humanity. Stopping short of attempting to be all-inclusive, this fascinating volume will nonetheless be comprehensive, opening with an introduction exploring the nature and dimensions of myth and proposing a definition as a universal language. Briefly dipping into the ways our understanding of myth has changed from Aristotle and Plato to modern scholars such as Joseph Campbell, the introduction loosely places the concept in its present context and precedes articles on influential mythologists and mythological approaches that appear later in the Companion. The main body of Leeming's work consists of A-Z entries covering all aspects of mythology, including substantial essays on the world's major mythological traditions (Greek, Native American, Indian, Japanese, Sumerian, Egyptian), mythological types and motifs (Descent to the Underworld, the Hero, the Trickster, Creation, the Quest), mythological figures (Odysseus, Zeus, Osiris, Spider Woman, and Inanna) as well as numerous interrelated subjects such as fairy tales and legends. The Companion also locates myth in our lives today, relating it to language patterns, psychology, religion, politics, art, and gender attitudes. Many of the better-known and more significant myths are vividly retold in this volume that will be illustrated with maps, more than 70 black and white images, and eight pages of color highlighting the central role art has often played in the transmission and perpetuation of myth. Following the entries, a rich section of appendices will include family trees of the major pantheons, equivalency charts for the gods of Greece and Rome, Babylon and Sumer, as well as other traditions, an extensive bibliography, and an index. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. At the end of the 16th century, scholars and intellectuals were seen as Faustian magicians, dangerous and sexy. By the 19th century, they were perceived as dusty and dried up, dead from the waist down, as Browning so wickedly put it. In this study, a literary critic explores the various ways we have thought about scholars and scholarship through the ages. classical scholar Isaac Casaubon who lived from 1559 to 1614; Mark Pattison, 19th-century rector at Oxford; and Mr Casaubon in George Eliot's Middlemarch. The three are intricately related, for Pattison was seen by many as the model for Eliot's Mr Casaubon and he was also the author of the best book on Isaac Casaubon. Nuttall offers a penetrating interpretation of Middlemarch and then describes how Pattison recorded his own introverted intellectual life and self-lacerating depression. He presents Isaac Casaubon, on the other hand, as a fulfilled scholar who personifies the ideal of detailed, unspectacular truth-telling, often imperilled in our own culture. Nuttall concludes with a meditation on morality, sexuality and the true virtues of scholarship. Former library book.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. This Burt's Home Library edition of The Republic presents Plato's foundational philosophical dialogue in the respected English translation by John Llewelyn Davies and David James Vaughan, long favored for its clarity and scholarly apparatus. Issued as part of A. L. Burt's widely circulated Home Library series, the volume was intended to make classical works accessible to a broad early-20th-century readership at an affordable price. Although undated, bibliographic evidence - including the A. L. Burt Company spine imprint, series typography, binding style, and the internal Burt's Home Library catalogue priced at $1.00 per copy - supports a publication window of circa 1900-1905. The blank title-page verso is consistent with Burt's production practices of this period, which frequently reused earlier plates without resetting copyright pages. Bound in the publisher's original maroon cloth with gilt spine lettering, the book retains a solid, attractive appearance. This is a well-preserved example of a classic American reprint series, appealing to collectors of Plato, early philosophy in English translation, and turn-of-the-century educational publishing. Plato (c. 428-348 BCE) was a student of Socrates and the teacher of Aristotle, forming the foundational triad of Western philosophy. His dialogues - written as dramatic conversations -explore ethics, politics, metaphysics, and epistemology, with The Republic standing as his most influential work on justice, governance, and the ideal state. Plato's ideas have shaped philosophical, political, and educational thought for over two millennia. …
