  • The Other Virgil

    `Pessimistic' Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture

    par Craig Kallendorf ...
    Collections series Classical Presences
    The Other Virgil tells the story of how a classic like the Aeneid can say different things to different people. As a school text it was generally taught to support the values and ideals of a succession of postclassical societies, but between 1500 and 1800 a number of unusually sensitive readers responded to cues in the text that call into question what the poem appears to be supporting.

    Ways of Telling the Self

  • The Strangeness of Tragedy

    par Paul Hammond ...
    This book reads tragedy as a genre in which the protagonist is estranged from the world around him, and, displaced in time, space, and language, comes to inhabit a milieu which is no longer shared by other characters. This alienation from others also entails a decomposition of the integrity of the individual, which is often seen in tragedy's uncertainty about the protagonists' autonomy: do they ... En savoir plus
