Condition: Neu. Ideology and Politics in Neo-Latin Literature. Edited by Karl Enenkel, Marc Laureys, and Christoph Pieper. In der frühen Neuzeit war Latein die wichtigste internationale Sprache, die daher regelmäßig in politischen Kontexten verwendet wurde und somit auch die zeitgenössischen ideologischen Diskurse prägte. Der Band versammelt acht englisch- und fünf deutschsprachige Tagungsbeiträge (Leiden 2009), die diesen ideologischen Einflüssen der Neulateinischen Literatur gewidmet sind. Behandelt wird eine große Bandbreite von Texten (unter anderem von Jean Bodin, Giovanni Gemisto oder Girolamo Faletti), die sich auf einige der berühmtesten politischen Diskussionen in Europa während des 15.-17. Jahrhunderts beziehen. Die Beiträge beleuchten nicht nur den spezifischen historischen Kontext, sondern beschreiben auch allgemeinere diskursive Techniken, die den einzelnen Texten zugrunde liegen. So stehen unter anderem die Rolle von exemplarischen Texten und Gestalten aus der Antike, die Bedeutung von literarischen Genres und die Verbindungen mit muttersprachlichen Überlieferungen im Fokus.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Forgetting pervades Greek and Roman culture: it shapes the underworld, divine spheres, and human life. Forgetting stands at the beginning of life, when the souls of the dead drink forgetfulness from the river Lethe in the underworld before they are reborn. In Hesiod, Lethe (Forgetfulness) is personified as a goddess, the daughter of Eris (Strife). In Ovid, lovers seeking to forget an unhappy love affair turn to the god Amor Lethaeus for help.This book analyses different forms of forgetting and their relationship to textual, authorial, and political power in Greek and Latin literary texts, spanning from Homer to Roman imperial literature and including a wide variety of genres. All chapters share a common focus: the processes and instances of forgetting they examine were not completely successful. The types of forgetting discussed are multifaceted: they range from unconscious to conscious ignorance and the fading of unwanted memories, to more forceful forms such as overwriting and active suppression, as well as marked forgetting that paradoxically results in un-forgetting. 317 pp. Englisch. …

Hardback. Condition: New. This volume contributes to the ongoing scholarly debate regarding the reception of Cicero. It focuses on one particular moment in Cicero's life, the period from the death of Caesar up to Cicero's own death. These final years have shaped Cicero's reception in an special way, as they have condensed and enlarged themes that his life stands for: on the positive side his fight for freedom and the republic against mighty opponents (for which he would finally be killed); on the other hand his inconsistency in terms of political alliances and tendency to overestimate his own influence. For that reason, many later readers viewed the final months of Cicero's life as his swan song, and as representing the essence of his life as a whole.The fixed scope of this volume facilitates an analysis of the underlying debates about the historical character Cicero and his textual legacy (speeches, letters and philosophical works) through the ages, stretching from antiquity itself to the present day. Major themes negotiated in this volume are the influence of Cicero's regular attempts to anticipate his later reception; the question of whether or not Cicero showed consistency in his behaviour; his debatable heroism with regard to republican freedom; and the interaction between philosophy, rhetoric and politics. …
