  • Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Environmental Imagination

    Modifié par Giulia Sissa, Francesca Martelli ...
    Collections series Ancient Environments
    This book positions Ovid's Metamorphoses as a foundational text in the western history of environmental thought. The poem is about new bodies. Stones, springs, plants and animals materialize out of human origins to create a world of hybrid objects, which retain varying degrees of human subjectivity while taking on new physical form. In bending the boundaries of known categories of being, these ... En savoir plus

  • Elemental Ecocriticism

    Thinking with Earth, Air, Water, and Fire

    Modifié par Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, Lowell Duckert ...
    For centuries it was believed that all matter was composed of four elements: earth, air, water, and fire in promiscuous combination, bound by love and pulled apart by strife. Elemental theory offered a mode of understanding materiality that did not center the cosmos around the human. Outgrown as a science, the elements are now what we build our houses against. Their renunciation has fostered only ... En savoir plus

    "A handy introduction to some of the more useful methodological approaches to and the previous scholarship on the subject of Greek myths." — PhoenixSince the first edition of Approaches to Greek Myth was published in 1990, interest in Greek mythology has surged.

  • Legal Emblems and the Art of Law

    Obiter Depicta as the Vision of Governance

    par Peter Goodrich ...
    The emblem book was invented by the humanist lawyer Andrea Alciato in 1531. The preponderance of juridical and normative themes, of images of rule and infraction, of obedience and error in the emblem books is critical to their purpose and interest. This book outlines the history of the emblem tradition as a juridical genre, along with the concept of, and training in, obiter depicta, in things seen ... En savoir plus

  • Tragedy in Ovid

    Theater, Metatheater, and the Transformation of a Genre

    par Dan Curley ...
    Ovid is today best known for his grand epic, Metamorphoses, and elegiac works like the Ars Amatoria and Heroides. Yet he also wrote a Medea, now unfortunately lost. This play kindled in him a lifelong interest in the genre of tragedy, which informed his later poetry and enabled him to continue his career as a tragedian – if only on the page instead of the stage. This book surveys tragic characters ... En savoir plus

  • Fantastic Metamorphoses, Other Worlds

    Ways of Telling the Self

    par Marina Warner ...
    Collections series Clarendon Lectures in English
    Metamorphosis is a dynamic principle of creation, vital to natural processes of generation and evolution, growth and decay, yet it also threatens personal identity if human beings are subject to a continual process of bodily transformation. Shape-shifting also belongs in the landscape of magic, witchcraft, and wonder, and enlivens classical mythology, early modern fairy tales and uncanny fictions ... En savoir plus

  • Deep Classics

    Rethinking Classical Reception

    Modifié par Professor Shane Butler ...
    Fragmented, buried, and largely lost, the classical past presents formidable obstacles to anyone who would seek to know it. 'Deep Classics' is the study of these obstacles and, in particular, of the way in which the contemplation of the classical past resembles – and has even provided a model for – other kinds of human endeavor. This volume offers a new way to understand the modalities and aims of ... En savoir plus

  • Becoming Human

    The Matter of the Medieval Child

    par J. Allan Mitchell ...
    Becoming Human argues that human identity was articulated and extended across a wide range of textual, visual, and artifactual assemblages from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries. J. Allan Mitchell shows how the formation of the child expresses a manifold and mutable style of being. To be human is to learn to dwell among a welter of things.A searching and provocative historical inquiry into ... En savoir plus

  • Scylla

    Myth, Metaphor, Paradox

    par Professor Marianne Govers Hopman ...
    What's in a name? Using the example of a famous monster from Greek myth, this book challenges the dominant view that a mythical symbol denotes a single, clear-cut 'figure' and proposes instead to define the name 'Scylla' as a combination of three concepts – sea, dog and woman – whose articulation changes over time. While archaic and classical Greek versions usually emphasize the metaphorical ... En savoir plus
