Cambridge University Press Achilles in Greek Tragedy
Book SynopsisThis study examines how one of the most popular and glamorous figures of Greek mythology, and a key character in the Homeric epics, was imagined on the tragic stage of fifth-century Athens. Dr Michelakis argues that dramatists persistently appropriated Achilles to address concerns of their time.Trade Review'Achilles in Greek Tragedy is an excellent book which provides a very systematic, sensitive and intelligent study of its subject.' David Fitzpatrick, The Open University'… this book offers several stimulating and thought-provoking … observations about some very interesting Greek plays. It will certainly be useful to any student of attic tragedy.' Journal of Hellenic Studies'All in all, a well-written and carefully edited book. In my view, its main strength is the combination of an attentive reading of the plays with an analysis of the position Achilles occupies in the mythological tradition, artistic representations, the social and cultural context of classical Athens and contemporary literary and philosophical sources.' L'Antiquité ClassiqueTable of ContentsList of illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgements; List of abbreviations; 1. Introduction: Achilles in the fifth century; 2. The problematic hero: Aeschylus' Myrmidons; 3. The dead hero: Euripides' Hecuba; 4. The hero to be: Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis; 5. Mapping the heroic absence: Achilles in other plays; 6.

Cambridge University Press The Romance of the Rose and Its Medieval Readers Interpretation Reception Manuscript Transmission THE ROMANCE OF THE ROSE AND ITS MEDIEVAL READERS INTERPRETATION RECEPTION MANUSCRIPT TRANSMISSION By Huot Sylvia Author Oct312008 Paperback
Book SynopsisThe Romance of the Rose was one of the most important works of medieval vernacular literature. It was composed in the thirteenth century and exerted a profound influence on literature in France, England, the Netherlands and Italy for the next 200 years. In this book, Sylvia Huot investigates how medieval readers understood the text, assessing the evidence to be found in well over 200 surviving manuscripts: annotations, glosses, illuminations, marginal doodles, rewritings, expansions and abridgements. This allows a picture to emerge of the interests and concerns of its readers, including such important fourteenth-century figures as the monastic author Guillaume de Deguilleville and the court poet Guillaume de Machaut. The book contains analyses of individual versions of the poem. It offers an interesting perspective on the interpretative difficulties of this learned and complex poem.Table of ContentsList of illustrations; Acknowledgements; List of manuscripts cited; Introduction; 1. Perspectives on the Roman de la Rose: the text and its manuscript transmission; 2. Intertextual readings of the Rose: marginal glosses and readers' annotations; 3. The profitable, pleasurable Rose: the remaniement of Gui de Mori; 4. Adapting Jean de Meun to Guillaume de Lorris: the Rose of the B manuscripts; 5. Transforming the mirror of lovers: manuscripts of the second group; 6. 'Exposé sur le Roman de la Rose': rewriting the Rose in the Pelerinage de vie humaine; 7. Poet of love and nature: Guillaume de Machaut and the Rose; 8. Sacred and erotic love: the visual gloss of MS Bibl. Nat. fr. 25526; 9. Conclusion: the protean Rose; Appendices; Bibliography; Index of manuscripts; General index.
