Condition: Neu. The Letters of Sir George Cornewall Lewis to Karl Otfried Müller (1828-1839). Edited with a Commentary by William M. Calder III, R. Scott Smith, and John Vaio. Dieser Band ist die erste Edition von 55 Briefen des englischen Griechenfreundes, Staatsbeamten, Finanz-, Innen- und Kriegsministers Sir George Cornewall…Lewis (1806-1863) an den großen Göttinger Gräzisten Karl Otfried Müller (1797-1840). Sie dokumentieren die entscheidende Rolle der deutschen Wissenschaft bei der Etablierung einer seriösen humanistischen Bildung im England des 19. Jahrhunderts. Lewis übersetzte Müllers "Die Dorier" und überzeugte ihn, sein epochemachendes Werk "Geschichte der altgriechischen Literatur" auf Englisch zu schreiben. Diese Bücher übten einen beachtlichen Einfluß unter den englischsprachigen Völkern aus und hatten unter anderem Oscar Wildes "Dorian Gray" und Milman Parrys Verwendung serbokroatischer Parallelen zur mündlichen Gestaltung der homerischen Epen zu Folge. Lewis bereitete die Engländer in vielerlei Hinsicht auf den Einfluß Eduard Fraenkels vor, der ein Jahrhundert später die Beschäftigung mit den antiken Klassikern in England von einem Zeitvertreib für Gentlemen in einen Beruf verwandeln sollte. XXV,119 Seiten, broschiert (Spudasmata. Studien zur Klassischen Philologie und ihren Grenzgebieten; Band 85/Olms Verlag 2002). Statt EUR 18,80. Gewicht: 252 g - Softcover/Taschenbuch.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the reviewer. - Suppl.: Six-figure gift from Humboldt Awardee, Magazin Humboldt Kosmos, Bd. 80, 2002, 1 page. - Reviewer's name handwritt…en on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: The author, a distinguished ancient historian and Wissenschafishistoriker, is one of the very few western classical scholars who really controls Russian. I do not mean that he can read Russian books He can also read unpublished eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Russian documents; that is. he controls and can exploit archival material. His book on early Rostovtzeff is not only of permanent value because of the unique information it therefore contains It is written in English prose that often exceeds what one finds in native speakers. This book, an English translation with expanded documentation of an earlier (1991) Dutch original, is more Rezeptionsgeschichte than Wissenschaftsgeschichte. - Wikipedia: William Musgrave Calder III (* 3. September 1932 in Brooklyn, New York) ist ein US-amerikanischer Klassischer Philologe. Sein Spezialgebiet ist die Geschichte der Altertumswissenschaften.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - 1st page torn, folded crosswise, 1 note, otherwise clean. - From the text: At the Greater Dionysia of March 431 Euripides revived an Aeschylean theme of s…ome 50 years before. His Philocletes appeared as second play in a tetralogy with Medea, Diktys, and the satyr play Theristai (MedArg), and placed third. The tragedy is of peculiar interest. It has a certain date. It is known to come between the Aeschylean (479-473) and Sophoclean (409) versions of the same tale. It influenced later art, was parodied by Aristophanes and Aristotle, and became a favorite of Plutarch and Dio Chrysostomos. Sufficient evidence, literary and archaeological, survives for confident reconstruction, and there is an intriguing riddle. Wilamowitz declared: "Sophokles hat von Euripides nichts kenntliches entnommen. Was Wilamowitz right? - Wikipedia: William Musgrave Calder III (born September 3, 1932 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American classical philologist. His specialty is the history of classical studies.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. The volume gathers for the first time thirty-five scattered articles by Calder published 1958-1998 concerned with the political content of selected tragedies and their staging from Thespis to Seneca. An historian seeks to see tragedies in context, whether Periclesâ Athens or Neroâs Rome. He regularly…contests the opinio communis. Eumenides protests against Periclean reform. Zeus in Prometheus is the tyrant Demos. Kreon not Antigone is the hero of Antigone. Neoptolemos in Philoctetes is a clever deceiver from the start. Sophocles Oinomaos was the inspiration of the East Pediment at Olympia. Atreus in Senecaâs Thyestes is the model whom Nero is urged to follow. The usual size of the Senecan chorus was three, never fifteen. Thespisâ chorus was six. A careful index locorum antiquorum ends the volume and makes the material easily accessible.; Spudasmata Band 104; 431 pages.

Haase. - Cover slightly bumped, Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise clean. - From the text: Perhaps… I ought first to say a word about credentials. I first published on Wissenschaftsgeschichte in 1966. I wrote while on a Guggenheim-Fulbright in Berlin a brief history of classical studies in the United States in German and for Germans. It was not published in a classical journal but in one devoted to American studies. Since then I have produced, alone and with colleagues, some 25 books and some 150 articles and reviews on the subject. During these some thirty years I have watched a steady rise of interest in the field, particularly in Europe (especially Germany, Holland and Italy) but also in the New World. - Wikipedia: William Musgrave Calder III (* 3.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication of the author to W. Haase. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: I was programmed to like G…ermans. My maternal grandfather was a German. His name was Friedrich Georg Fischer. His parents had emigrated from Hamburg to New York. He became president of the New York branch of Norddeutsche Lloyd. Later he became executive vice-president of W. R. Grace. Because his name was not Grace he could not become president. [.] Wolfgang Schindler introduced me to Werner Krenkel, who wasted no time. I was soon invited to lecture at Rostock and nearby Greifswald. My lecture was purest Anglo-Saxon positivism without a hint of politics. It was concerned with the composition of Seneca, Troades,1 and promptly published by Werner Krenkel. In spring semester 1968 the miracle occurred. Due to the tact and diplomacy of Werner Krenkel, himself not a Genosse, an American, a Spätkapitalist kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch, became guest professor for classics and American studies at Rostock, the first American guest-professor in the DDR. [.] My whole Senecabild I owe the DDR. Life under Stalinism provided the best parallel possible to life under Nero. Senecas goal was to survive in an impossible situation. A Stoic must find out by what rules the kosmos was run and abide by them. That is: informed resignation. The alternative was selfdestruction. Without the DDR my work on Seneca would have remained sterile positivism and Wortphilologie or the petulant Puritanism that characterizes his Western liberal often female critics, that is persons with no experience whatever in the brutality of amoral totalitarianism.
