Greek and Latin Literature of the Roman Empire: From Augustus to Justinian by Al

Description: Greek and Latin Literature of the Roman Empire by Albrecht Dihle, Manfred Malzahn An authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature; Dihles survey is an outstanding achievement. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Professor Dihle sees the Greek and Latin literature between the 1st century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. as an organic progression. He builds on Schlegels observation that art, customs and political life in classical antiquity are inextricably entwined and therefore should not be examined separately. Dihle does not simply consider narrowly defined `literature, but all works of cultural socio-historical significance, including Jewish and Christian literature, philosophy and science. Despite this, major authors like Seneca, Tacitus and Plotinus are considered individually. This work is an authoritative yet personal presentation of seven hundred years of literature. Author Biography Albrecht Dihle, Manfred Malzahn Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 The Julio-Claudian Era; Chapter 3 The Flavian Era; Chapter 4 The Second Century; Chapter 5 The Severan Era; Chapter 6 The Crises of the Third Century AD; Chapter 7 The Era of Diocletian and Constantine; Chapter 8 The Christian Empire; Review `This is a monumental work of massive erudition to which a short review can do but scant justice and merely hint at some of the treaures to be found within. - JACT Review`With this volume, Routledge continue their highly laudable series of English translations of important works of recent classical scholarship. ... The task is certainly monumental, but D succeeds well in presenting clear, helpful synopses of bewildering range of literature, which often more traditionl classicsts tend to forget. - Classic Reveiw`Dihle expresses the hope that his book will "not ... serve as a work of reference", but as he covers both pagan and Christian texts, offers a clear, introductory account of the transition from pre-imperial to imperial literature and gives ample space to popular, technical and philosophical works - many unfamiliar even to students of these periods - it is unlikely that this wish will be fulfilled ... If Dihle is not careful, he will give literary history a good name again ... This is a remarkable achievement; we will not see its like again. - Times Literary Supplement Details ISBN0415862108 Author Manfred Malzahn Short Title GREEK & LATIN LITERATURE OF TH Pages 656 Audience Age 18-18 Language English ISBN-10 0415862108 ISBN-13 9780415862103 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2013 Imprint Routledge Subtitle From Augustus to Justinian Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Illustrations black & white illustrations Publication Date 2013-10-25 UK Release Date 2013-10-25 AU Release Date 2013-10-25 NZ Release Date 2013-10-25 Translator Manfred Malzahn Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Alternative 9780415063678 DEWEY 371.9046 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
