Cambridge University Press Longus Daphnis and Chloe
Book SynopsisLongus'' Daphnis and Chloe is arguably our finest surviving Greek novel. Written under the Roman Empire and engaging with romantic, pastoral and rhetorical themes, the story and characterisation have captured the imaginations of artists over the centuries. Despite a growing interest in ancient novels over the past half-century, this is the first full commentary to address Longus'' linguistic texture and its implications for his literary aspirations, as well as his narrative skills and intertextuality with earlier Greek writers. The commentary provides a detailed analysis of Longus'' Greek and its relation to other Greek prose and poetry of the second century AD and earlier, and emphasises the construction and style of the original text, drawing out key points for clarification and discussion. A wide-ranging introduction ensures that this book will be an indispensable guide for teachers and students of all levels who are looking to engage with Longus'' writing.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The text and the story; 2. Longus' poetic intertexts; 3. Longus' exploitation of earlier prose texts; 4. Poetic elements in Longus' prose?; 5. Religion; 6. City and country; 7. Art and nature; 8.

That it is interpretatively, textually, and typographically so well done makes it worth the wait.' Carol A. Martin, Boise State University'… the real merit of this book is that it opens a whole field of these quietly resonating details, committed to the privacy of Eliot's treasured and closely guarded notebooks from 1854 to a few months before her death.'

Book SynopsisThe Journal to Stella, Jonathan Swift's letters to Esther Johnson, or 'Stella', and Rebecca Dingley, written between September 1710 and June 1713, offers an extraordinary commentary on Swift's experiences in London during the most politically active and exciting years of his career and evidence of his evolving relationship with the two women.

In addition to a new critical introduction and appendices, there is also a biographical appendix derived from recently available resources.Trade Review'Magisterial …' London Review of BooksTable of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Chronology; Introduction; Letters; Textual account; Appendices; Bibliography.
