Paperback. Condition: New. A handful of fragments is all that remains of the writings of Menippus, the third-century BCE provocateur of the Greek Cynic movement. The Western literary tradition knows him through Lucian, the Greek satirist who lived and worked four hundred years later. Included in this book are Joel Relihan's lively English translations of Lucian's three reanimations of Menippus-fantastic narratives and comic dialogues set in heaven and hell: Menippus; or, The Consultation of the CorpsesIcaromenippus; or, A Man above the CloudsThe Colloquies of the Corpses (Dialogues of the Dead) For the first time in over fifty years, these works are assembled in a unified format to tell a particular story: Lucian's evolving understanding of the philosophical and literary potential of the person, productions, and purposes of Menippus. Not only is it time to give Lucian's Menippus a fresh look and a thorough reevaluation, but also to consider how Lucian's imitations and innovations adumbrate, illuminate, and complicate the history of that enigmatic genre, Menippean satire.…

Hardback. Condition: New. Various factors in late 16th-century England contributed to an environment more hospitable to prose fiction than had existed previously - among them, changes in educational opportunities, socioeconomic structures, literacy rates and access to European literature. Such cultural alterations inevitably produced changes in modes of literary production. Furthermore, access to the bookstall and to a new class of readers altered the structures and subjects writers employed. Within this tumultuous context, the writers of fictional prose narrative negotiated - for themselves and their audience - a precarious definition of their identity within the Elizabethan literary world. In ""Fashioning Authority"" Constance C. Relihan examines the influence of Elizabethan prose fiction on early modern literary culture, emphasising the role of the non-aristocratic reader in the reception of literature, the importance of the marketplace in the production and reception of prose texts, and the growth of prose as the dominant mode of narrative presentation. Combining cultural analysis with a concern for narrative structure, Relihan explores six strategies by which the writers and readers of Elizabethan fiction struggled to achieve artistic authority: incorporating poetry into prose texts; using translated material; separating authorial from narrative voice; introducing a sense of place; depicting females; and representing non-European cultures. Relihan argues that Elizabethan fiction's unique position on the borders of literate and literary English culture, that is, its position as what M.M. Bakhtin calls ""novelistic discourse,"" allows it to constitute a rich field for examining the ideological rifts of the period. Taking her primary examples from Barnabe Riche's ""Farewell to Militarie Profession"" (1581), but also considering texts by a variety of authors (such as Sidney, Deloney, Lyly, Gascoigne, Lodge, Breton, Greene, Harmon, Nashe, and Painter), Reliham demonstrates that regardless of their specific structural and thematic differences, the various modes of Elizabethan fiction all share a common origin in the upheavals of English culture during the later half of the 16th century. By examining novelistic discourse as a category, ""Fashioning Authority"" aims to strengthen our understanding of the nature and history of English fiction even as it broadens our sense of Elizabethan culture. The result is an exploration of how Elizabethan novelistic discourse established the cultural place of its newly literate readers and its generically marginal authors, creating literary comfort in narrative prose for those who failed to find it in verse.…
