Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Latin Poetry of Thomas Gray
Book SynopsisIn the first full-scale edition of Thomas Gray's Latin poetry, the Latin text and facing English translation are complemented by a detailed introduction and comprehensive commentary that situate Gray's Latin verse in relation to his vernacular poetry, epistolary correspondence, and, especially, his appropriation of classical and Neo-Latin literature. This book also traces hitherto unlocated manuscripts of several of his Latin poems, and includes an editio princeps of recently discovered Latin verses pertaining to his Neapolitan sojourn. Gray's Latin poetry presents an illuminating portrait of the artist as a young man, mapping his growth and development from his Etonian days to his undergraduate years at Cambridge University, to his continental journey and his return to England. Impressively eclectic in its scope and tone, it ranges from experimental renderings of English, Greek and Italian verse to more strikingly original pieces, including poetic reinterpreta

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Marcus Aurelius A Guide for the Perplexed
Book SynopsisProvides an introduction to the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. This is a guide for understanding this Stoic author - the only philosopher who was also an emperor.Trade ReviewA fine addition [to the Guides for the Perplexed series]. Stephens has written widely on Stoic ethics, and his writing has a lucid and pleasant style . . . a reliable and helpful guide. -- Rogier L. van der Wal, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam * Bryn Mawr Classical Review *Marcus’s Meditations are a source of inspiration and curiosity. Why did Marcus write the book? ... And what is the lasting significance and impact of the text? William O. Stephens’s Marcus Aurelius: A Guide for the Perplexed does an admirable job of answering these questions ... Among the book’s virtues is the fact that it is not a rambling exercise in historical erudition or critique. It is primarily an exegesis of the Meditations. Its other primary virtue is found in Stephens’s passionate prose, which effectively channels the spirit of Marcus and ancient Stoicism. -- Andrew Fiala * Ancient Philosophy *Table of Contents1.

Royal Classics Paradise Lost (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket)
Book SynopsisParadise Lost concerns the biblical story of the Fall of Man. The epic poem follows two narrative arcs, one about Satan and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell. The narrative follows the temptation of Adam and Eve by Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. After losing the total freedom and power to rule over all creation, Archangel Michael gives Adam a glimpse at Mankind''s potential redemption from original sin.Paradise Lost is an epic poem by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. Milton''s 17th-century contemporaries by and large criticised his ideas and considered him as a radical, mostly because of his views on politics and religion. Milton also revolted against the idea of a monarch ruling by divine right, viewing the practice as idolatrous. Paradise Lost is considered by critics to be Milton''s major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.This case laminate collector''s edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.
