Book Description Paperback. Condition: Gut. IX, 243 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - berieben und beschabt, weist Randläsuren auf, Einband weist mehrere Knicke auf, Buchrücken stark ausgeblichen, Buchschnitt minimal angeschmutzt, handschriftliche Anmerkung auf Schmutztitel, vereinzelte Anstreichungen im Text / rubbed and scuffed, marginal wear, cover has several creases, spine heavily faded, book edges minimally soiled, handwritten annotation on half title, occasional annotations in text. - This book is designed as a contribution to the understanding of three great poets. Sappho has aroused wild enthusiasm in scholars and creative writers alike, and yet very little of her work has survived; the first part of the book confronts this paradox and considers how her reputation can be honestly justified. The second part examines Peleus and Thetis, Catullus' longest and most ambitious poem, arguing that it has often been judged by the wrong criteria, to the neglect of its true beauties. The third part adopts an unusual approach to Juvenal, and finds in him an imaginative power that makes him Virgil's natural successor. The parts of the book are separate, but together they constitute a challenge to the view that one method will suffice for the interpretation of ancient poetry. Three Classical Poets seeks to demonstrate that we can have no substitute for flexible and humane judgment, liberated from critical dogma, if we are to understand the great writers of the past. / CONTENTS Preface 1.
