Synopsis
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

From the Back Cover
Arguably the greatest /Greek lyric poet, Pindar (518-438 B. C.) was a controversial figure in fifth-century Greece-a conservative Boiotian aristocrat who studied in Athens and a writer on physical prowess whose interest in the Games was largely philosophical. Pindar's Epinician Odes-choral songs extolling victories in the Games at Olympia, Delphi, Nemea and Korinth cover the whole spectrum of the Greek moral order, from earthly competition to fate and mythology.

Paperback. Condition: Good. The Odes of Pindar Geoffrey S. Conway (trans.), Everyman?s University Library, 1972 Step right up and snag yourself a copy of one of ancient Greece?s most exalted poetic treasures?now lovingly rescued from some dusty, half-broken shelf and brought to you by Crappy Old Books! This 1972 Everyman?s University Library edition features the cracklingly vibrant translations of Pindar?s celebrated victory odes by Geoffrey S. Conway?poems that once echoed across the Panhellenic festivals, honoring athletic triumphs with soaring, ornate language worthy of Olympus itself. Why bother with this one? Timeless grandeur on a budget ? Conway captures Pindar?s intricate, stately style with scholarly finesse, making even a battered paperback feel as impressive as a laurel crown. Pedants welcome ? Comes with footnotes, intros, and all the academic trappings to impress your Classics professor (or at least your poshest friend). Tempting imperfections ? Maybe that spine?s cracking, the pages smell like yesterday?s mothballs, or the cover?s sporting a tear?but hey, that?s character. And you?re getting a slice of Greek literary glory without draining your wallet. Conversation starter ? ?Why yes, this battered old volume in my lap just happens to contain Pindar?s exalted odes.? Cue nods of respect. If you don?t mind your translation with a garnish of age and thrift-shop charm, this Conway edition offers an exquisite?and affordably crumbly?doorway into Pindar?s intricate, myth-laden odes. Get it while supplies (and binding strength) last! This is an ex-school book from Old Palace school in Croydon. Seller Inventory # 4240
