De Gruyter Imitate Anacreon!: Mimesis, Poiesis and the Poetic Inspiration in the Carmina Anacreontea
Book SynopsisDespite their rich tradition, the Carmina Anacreontea transmitted in the Palatine Anthology have received little scholarly attention. This neglect is linked to questions concerning their authenticity. Long read as poems by the ancient lyricist Anacreon, they are now regarded instead as imitations of Anacreontic lyricism. This volume presents the latest findings on the language, poetology, tradition, and reception of this lyrical collection.

Oxford University Press Inc Athenaze Book II
Book SynopsisSince its publication in 1990, Athenaze: An Introduction to Ancient Greek has helped tens of thousands of students learn classical Greek. Building on the bestselling tradition of previous editions, the long-awaited third edition combines the best features of traditional and modern teaching methods. It provides a unique course of instruction that allows students to read connected Greek narrative right from the beginning and guides them to the point where they can begin reading complete classical texts. James Morwood, editor of the Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek and the Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary, brings his expertise and years of teaching experience to this revision. Carefully designed to hold students'' interest, the course begins in Book I with a fictional narrative about an Attic farmer''s family placed in a precise historical context (432-431 B.C.). This narrative, interwoven with tales from mythology and the Persian Wars, gradually gives way in Book II to adapted passages from Thucydides, Plato, and Herodotus and ultimately to excerpts of the original Greek of Bacchylides, Thucydides, and Aristophanes'' Acharnians. Essays on relevant aspects of ancient Greek culture and history are also woven throughout.Trade ReviewAthenaze, Books I and II, presents a thoughtful, reading-based approach to learning ancient Greek. Both books are interspersed with superbly written cultural and historical essays that introduce readers to the signature characteristics of Greek culture. * Stephen Esposito, Boston University *I have found Athenaze's methodology successful with today's broad range of student learning styles and varied levels of language sophistication. * Elizabeth A. Fisher, George Washington University *Athenaze is an excellent adaptation of the reading approach for ancient Greek, with excellent Greek readings. * Nicholas Rynearson, University of Georgia *The approach is student friendly, the readings are varied and interesting, and the grammatical explanations are clear. * Laurie Cosgriff, Portland State University *Athenaze is the best text for learning ancient Greek. Period. * George Rudebusch, Northern Arizona University *The storyline and characters of the text readily draw students into the language and culture of the Greeks. Athenaze is arguably the best first-year Greek text on the market. * Richard L. Phillips, Virginia Tech University *Table of ContentsBook 1: INTRODUCTION ix Readings Grammar 1 ? ??????????? (?) 2 1.

De Gruyter Ancient Greek Dialects and Early Authors: Introduction to the Dialect Mixture in Homer, with Notes on Lyric and Herodotus
Epic is dialectally mixed but Ionic at its core. The proper dialect for elegy was Ionic, even when composed by Tyrtaeus in Sparta or Theognis in Megara, both Doric areas. Choral lyric poets represent the major dialect areas: Aeolic (Sappho, Alcaeus), Ionic (Anacreon, Archilochus, Simonides), and Doric (Alcman, Ibycus, Stesichorus, Pindar). Most distinctive are the Aeolic poets. The rest may have a preference for their own dialect (some more than others) but in their Lesbian veneer and mixture of Doric and Ionic forms are to some extent dialectally indistinguishable. All of the ancient authors use a literary language that is artificial from the point of view of any individual dialect. Homer has the most forms that occur in no actual dialect. In this volume, by means of dialectally and chronologically arranged illustrative texts, translated and provided with running commentary, some of the early Greek authors are compared against epigraphic records, where available, from the same period and locality in order to provide an appreciation of: the internal history of the Ancient Greek language and its dialects; the evolution of the multilectal, artificial poetic language that characterizes the main genres of the most ancient Greek literature, especially Homer / epic, with notes on choral lyric and even the literary language of the prose historian Herodotus; the formulaic properties of ancient poetry, especially epic genres; the development of more complex meters, colometric structure, and poetic conventions; and the basis for decisions about text editing and the selection of a manuscript alternant or emendation that was plausibly used by a given author.

Harvard University Press Homosexuality and Civilization
Book SynopsisHow have major civilizations of the last two millennia treated people who were attracted to their own sex? Crompton chronicles the lives and achievements of homosexual people alongside a darker history of persecution, as he compares the Christian West with the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome, Arab Spain, imperial China, and pre-Meiji Japan.Trade ReviewBrilliantly researched… Crompton, drawing on his immense erudition, contrasts Christianity and its barbaric cruelty toward same-sex love with more benign traditions in Moorish Spain… [He] also discusses the cult of romantic homosexuality in traditional Japan, where relationships of intense loyalty and idealism sprang up between the samurai and their pages. -- Edmund White * Los Angeles Times *In Louis Crompton’s sober, searching and somber new history, Homosexuality and Civilization, homosexuality is associated with the inner workings of civilization itself… It begins in the gladness of early Greece, where homosexuality had an ‘honored place’ for more than a millennium, and concludes with the madness of 19th-century Europe. In between is what Mr. Crompton calls a ‘kaleidoscope of horrors’ lasting more than 1,500 years… This is a restrained, careful, clear book of scholarly exposition. -- Edward Rothstein * New York Times *Crompton’s book is truly the culmination of a lifetime’s commitment… Writing a history of homosexuality is therefore a mission to remind the reader of millennia of oppression and resistance. For Crompton, the commonalities of that disparate history of homosexuality lie in two elements: the fact of common sexual practices, and the possibilities of human love and devotion that survived and contested all that history (‘their’ history) could throw at it. His history is, in part at least, a history of celebration. -- Jeffrey Weeks * Times Higher Education Supplement *Even after the explosion of literature on gay issues since the 1970s, comprehensive examinations of homosexuality in history have been few. An exception is Louis Crompton’s new Homosexuality and Civilization, a sweeping account that was 18 years in the making. Crompton, a professor emeritus of English at the University of Nebraska, presents both a catalog of horrific abuse and persecution in the West and a surprising history of tolerance in some Eastern cultures, such as Japan, where homosexuality was ‘an honored way of life among the country’s religious and military leaders.’ -- Julian Sanchez * Reason *At last, a comprehensive, scholarly investigation into homosexuality through the ages. In Homosexuality and Civilization, Louis Crompton discusses in elevated but readable fashion how gays and lesbians have affected the civilized world from ancient Greece to modern America, and been affected by it. * Louisville Letter *When Europeans first arrived in the Americas they found men engaged in erotic entanglements virtually on the quayside. They responded with the horror their religion had implanted in them, holding out their bibles and shouting ‘Abomination! Devilry! Witchcraft!’ The problem was they found the same thing almost everywhere they set foot in East Asia. China and Japan both looked on this kind of activity with a cool shrug of the shoulders. But as the Europeans’ colonizing push gathered force, the hangings, disembowelment by mastiffs and burnings alive (especially popular) began to appear in these regions as well… This is a major work… It will be the first book future researchers in the topic turn to, and what they will find is a magisterial survey that delivers the fruits of a lifetime’s study. Everything in the field is touched on and weighed in the balance. -- Bradley Winterton * Taipei Times *Beginning where one would suspect—the ancient Greeks—Crompton puts a particular emphasis on Eastern social history in pursuing his narrative of the evolving place of homosexuality all the way to the Enlightenment. A key Crompton theme is that while much of Western civilization officially persecuted homosexuals throughout the ages, whatever the hypocrisy involved, in many Eastern cultures—including pre-modern China and samurai Japan—‘the celebration of same-sex love rivaled that of ancient Greece.’ * Toronto Star *Based on the best recent scholarship and providing an overview of homosexuality from the Greeks to the end of the 18th century, this levelheaded, easy-to-read volume confirms the fact that homosexuality has had a long history (with periods of greater or less tolerance)… The result is the best historical overview of the topic that this reviewer has read. -- V. L. Bullough * Choice *In [Homosexuality and Civilization], impressive for its breadth and readability, an early pioneer of gay and lesbian studies attempts the Herculean task of chronicling the history of homosexuality in Europe and parts of Asia from Homer to the 18th century. In a series of short vignettes, Crompton…relates the ‘rich and terrible’ stories of men and women who have been immortalized, celebrated, shunned or executed for the special attention they paid to members of their own sex. Two chapters on China and Japan are a welcome addition to the usual Eurocentric focus. * Publishers Weekly *An encyclopedic survey of homosexuality in Western and non-Western civilizations. Crompton’s writing is lively, vivid and refreshing—a pleasure to read. Anyone interested in looking at homosexuality from a comparative and historical point of view will want to own this book. -- David Greenberg, author of The Construction of HomosexualityA treasure trove of compelling information. This marvelous book, covering not simply the Western tradition but China and Japan as well, is sure to become fundamental reading in gay and lesbian studies. Crompton dazzles the reader with his exhaustive research and incisive analyses. Not since the work of the late John Boswell has a scholar brought such a brilliant light to bear on earlier evidence of same-sex affections. -- Karla Jay, author of Tales of the Lavender MenaceA master work of interpretive scholarship. Before this exhaustive and exhilarating study, a long shelf of books considered the intersection of homosexuality and civilization. Now there is one that does it all. Crompton’s lifetime of academic gay activism powers this erudite, entertaining distillation of same-sex politics, practices, and passions across centuries and through cultures. He was born to write this book; generations yet unborn will draw knowledge and strength from it. -- Richard Labonte, Q Syndicate columnist and former General Manager, A Different Light bookstoresA minor masterpiece. Each chapter is a small work of art in itself. Crompton’s discussion of Sapphic love is the best general treatment of lesbian suffering that I have seen. Though passionate, Homosexuality and Civilization is articulate, balanced, and theoretically sound—accessible to beginners and informative for specialists as well. -- William A. Percy, coeditor of Encyclopedia of HomosexualityA one-of-a-kind, page-turning tour through gay history—one of the richest reading experiences in recent memory. This magnificent book educates us, startles us, and, by turns, reassures us as it traces the widespread cultural wellsprings of the changing forces of homosexuality. Crompton has crafted an utterly thrilling tour de force that succeeds in reinventing what we know about gay life across cultures and ages. This impressively detailed, eminently illuminating, and thoroughly enjoyable book should be on every gay person’s—and every thinking person’s—must-read list. -- David Rosen, Editor-in-Chief, InsightOutBooksTable of ContentsPreface 1.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG And with the Teian lyre imitate Anacreon: The
Book SynopsisThis book explores, for the first time, the influence of Anacreon and the Anacreontic tradition on Horace's Odes and Epodes. It focuses first on the original fragments of Anacreon and their reception in Horace, paying attention to the central themes of wine, love, and satire. In a second part, the possibility of conscious Horatian reception of the earliest Carmina Anacreontea (and the broader Anacreontic tradition) as distinct from the original is discussed and shown to be highly probable. This imitation of imitation can be labelled, in Gerard Genette's words, as "literature in the third degree". As a significant predecessor of Horace, Anacreon can be described as no less than the central pivot between Archilochus and Hipponax, on the one hand, and Alcaeus and Sappho, on the other. He represents the tie between Horace's iambic and lyric personae and is thus a much more encompassing predecessor than any one of the other four above-mentioned counterparts.

Officina Libraria Girodet. Imitations d'Anacréon
Book SynopsisThe charming painter of Endymion's Sleep, Atala's Funeral and Chateaubriand's Portrait was also a poet. Thanks to his classical education, Girodet (1767-1824) was the author of free translations of ancient Greek and Latin poets. In 1808 he tried the to imitate and at the same time illustrate the Odes of Anacreon, whose edition was published posthumously. The Musée du Louvre holds the precious manuscript of this intense and complex work, in which the poetic research and graphic invention — compositions or vignettes — intertwine with the text. Only a facsimile could restore this organic whole in its integrity. This book reconstructs the history of the manuscript, the various stages of the project and the posthumous versions, and analyses the artist's aesthetic sources. Girodet's handwriting is sometimes difficult to decode, but the complete transcription allows the reader to appreciate all the refinements and to rediscover the charm of Anacreontic poetry.

Brill Greek Lyric of the Archaic and Classical Periods: From the Past to the Future of the Lyric Subject
Book SynopsisWhat is distinctive about Greek lyric poetry? How should we conceptualize it in relation to broader categories such as literature / song / music / rhetoric / history? What critical tools might we use to analyse it? How do we, should we, can we relate to its intensities of expression, its modes of address, its uses of myth and imagery, its attitudes to materiality, its sense of its own time, and its contextualizations? These are questions that this discussion seeks to investigate, exploring and analysing a range of influential methodologies that have shaped the recent history of the field.Table of ContentsContents From the Past to the Future of the Lyric Subject: Greek Lyric of the Archaic and Classical Periods David Fearn Abstract Keywords 1 Introduction 2 A Preliminary Case Study: Four Readings of Sappho 3 Sappho: Wider Ramifications 4 Alcaeus, Ibycus, and Anacreon.

City Lights Books Mephistos and Other Poems
Book Synopsis A landmark work of bio-romanticism, Mephistos and Other Poems is the first completely new collection in five years from legendary Beat and SF Renaissance poet Michael McClure, reflecting his interests in mammal consciousness and ecological survival. The title sequence stems from McClure''s ongoing grafting experiment, growing new poems from fragments of previously ones. Some Fringes is a series of haiku-like nature poems, while the seventeen-part Rose Breaths derives from the poet''s practice of meditation. The freestanding poems grouped under the title Being pay homage to many of McClure''s collaborators and fellow travelers like Bruce Conner, Terry Riley, and Dave Haselwood. The book climaxes with Song Heavy, recounting McClure''s recent encounter with a beached whale in Rockport, Massachusetts, and recalling his classic For the Death of 100 Whales, which he read at the Six Gallery in 1955—the inaugural moment of American eco-poetics. Michael McClure is an award-winning American poet, playwright, songwriter, and novelist. After moving from Kansas to San Francisco as a young man, he was one of the five poets who participated in the Six Gallery reading that featured the public debut of Allen Ginsberg''s landmark poem Howl. A key figure of the Beat Generation, McClure is immortalized as Pat McLear in Jack Kerouac''s novels The Dharma Bums and Big Sur. He also participated in the sixties counterculture alongside musicians like Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. McClure remains active as a poet, essayist, and playwright and lives with his second wife, Amy, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Michael and I have been twisting the Dharma for twenty years now. He reads his poetry like a mad lion or a hummingbird or a soft evening tidal pool or a wild California thunderstorm. . . . His words are of a new realm of love and joy and terror. What a pleasure to play with such a perceptive artist. It’s always been my great joy to make music to his words.--Ray Manzarek [C]ertainly a genius in thought and writing it out . . . McClure is one of the few contemporaries to have understood Kerouac as a literary poet—and learned some joyous classic invention therefrom . . . Thus we have a McClure poet, a McClure natural philosopher, and a McClure prosateur and novelist. Hardly anyone in America with equal range and sharpness, liveness. What more?--Allen Ginsberg Praise for Mephistos: In Mephistos we are again thrown into Michael McClure''s lavish lair of forceful magic. Its actions are literal ones, handfuls of jewels disintegrate as a firewall rises to a solid prism. There is no poet more adept at calling forth the elements, only to fashion them later as eternal amulets for his readers. ''NEW MOON ((BLACK!)) /STAR CLOUDS/ HALOES/ Flashlight reflects/ into two small eyes.'' You will find your body changed through the labyrinth these poems initiate.--Cedar Sigo Close attention will be rewarded in kind. Keep Mephisto near at hand, read only a poem or two at a time, let the imagery possess you. It''s okay, you can trust it. It''s McClure: he’ll never steer you wrong.--Robert Hunter, lyricist, poet, songwriter He is such a sweet paradox! Like most of Shelley and the late poems of D.H. Lawrence, McClure turns the phenomenal world inside out, seeking Mind within mind.--Diane di Prima, poet If you’ve enjoyed McClure’s writings in the past, this volume ought to recapture your poetic heart and rekindle your imagination.--Jonah Raskin, New York Journal of Books Mephistos is perhaps an open love letter to all of McClure’s many fans who have followed him ever since he arrived in San Francisco from Kansas City more than half a century ago.--San Francisco Chronicle This is poetry for seekers, those interested in developing their inner lives. This is the essence of ''soul-science'' and there is no 20th/21st century poet more adept at this than McClure. ''If poetry and science cannot change one''s life they''re meaningless'' he states in the preface to his book ''Three Poems'' and his spontaneous technique allows him access to realms that can be seen as outside himself, or as the highest aspects of his self, the noble self, noble human life force.—Paul Nelson Trade Review"McClure's observations and most importantly his feelings about the universe are uncannily explicit, palpable in their expression. A reading of one or two poems brings you deeper into a sense of being, an exquisite immediacy to everything in you and above you and around you that is so sudden in its effect it's almost startling.”— Tillala ChroniclesTable of ContentsPREFACE MEPHISTOS MEPHISTO 1 MEPHISTO 2 MEPHISTO 3 MEPHISTO 4 MEPHISTO 5 MEPHISTO 6 MEPHISTO 7 MEPHISTO 8 MEPHISTO 9 MEPHISTO 10 MEPHISTO 11 MEPHISTO 12 MEPHISTO 13 MEPHISTO 14 MEPHISTO 15 MEPHISTO 16 MEPHISTO 17 MEPHISTO 18 MEPHISTO 19 MEPHISTO 20 MEPHISTO 21 MEPHISTO 22 MEPHISTO 23 MEPHISTO 24 MEPHISTO 25 MEPHISTO 26 MEPHISTO 27 MEPHISTO 28 MEPHISTO 29 MEPHISTO 30 MEPHISTO 31 MEPHISTO 32 MEPHISTO 33 MEPHISTO 34 MEPHISTO 35 MEPHISTO 36 MEPHISTO 37 SOME FRINGES THE MYSTERY OF THE HUNT (MY / MOSS / HEAD) (MY FACE IS) (NEW MOON ((BLACK!)))

Penguin Books Ltd The Complete Poems
Book SynopsisOne of the major figures of English Romanticism, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) created works of remarkable diversity and imaginative genius. The period of his creative friendship with William Wordsworth inspired some of Coleridge''s best-known poems, from the nightmarish vision of the ''Rime of the Ancient Mariner'' and the opium-inspired ''Kubla Khan'' to the sombre passion of ''Dejection: An Ode'' and the medieval ballad ''Christabel''. His meditative ''conversation'' poems, such as ''Frost at Midnight'' and ''This Lime-Tree Bower Mr Prison'', reflect on remembrance and solitude, while late works, such as ''Youth and Age'' and ''Constancy to an Ideal Object'', are haunting meditations on mortality and lost love.Table of ContentsThe Complete PoemsIntroductionAcknowledgmentsTable of DatesFurther ReadingThe PoemsEaster HolidaysDura navisNil pejus est caelibe vitaSonnet to the Autumnal MoonJuliaQuae nocent docentThe NoseLifeTo the MuseDestruction of the BastilleAnthem for the Children of Christ's HospitalProgress of ViceMonody on the Death of Chatteron (first version)Monody on the Death of Chatteron (second version)An InvocationAnna and HarlandTo the Evening StarPainOn a Lady WeepingMonody on a Tea-KettleGenevieveOn Receiving an Account that his Only Sister's Death Was InevitableA Mathematical ProblemHonourOn ImitationInside the CoachDevonshire RoadsMusicAbsence: A Farewell Ode on Quitting School for Jesus College, CambridgeSonnet on the SameHappinessA Wish Written in Jesus Wood, Feb. 10th, 1792An Ode in the Manner of AnacreonTo DisappointmentA Fragment Found in a Lecture-RoomOdeA Lover's Complaint to his MistressWith Fielding's AmeliaWritten After a Walk Before SupperImitated from OssianThe Complaint of Ninathoma, from the SameThe RoseKissesSonnet ("Thou gentle look")Sonnet to the River OtterLines on an Autumnal EveningTo Fortune: On Buying a Ticket in the Irish LotteryPerspiration: A Travelling EclogueLines written at the King's Arms, Ross, formerly the House of the "Man of Ross"Imitated from the WelshLines to a Beautiful Spring in a VillageImitations Ad LyramThe SighThe KissTo a Young Lady, with a Poem on the French RevolutionTranslation of Wrangham's "Hendecasyllabi ad Bruntonam e Granta Exituram"To Miss Brunton with the Preceding TranslationEpitaph on an Infant[Pantisocracy]On the Prospect of Establishing a Pantisocracy in AmericaElegy, Imitated from One of Akenside's Blank-Verse InscriptionsThe Faded FlowerSonnet ("Pale Roamer through the night!")Domestic PeaceSonnet ("Thou bleedest, my poor Heart!")Sonnet to the Author of the "Robbers"Melancholy: A FragmentSongs of the PixiesTo a Young Ass, its Mother being Tethered Near itLines on a Friend Who Died of a Frenzy Fever Induced by Calumnious ReportsTo a Friend, together with an Unfinished PoemSonnets on Eminent Characters:1.
