Condition: Gut. XII, 272 S. / 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). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Ancient rhetoric and literary criticism are the foundation of modern Western criticism. This study explores the important element comparison, in an effort to determine the ancient theories of it and to locate the differences between its classical and modern usage in particular, whether or not a distinct concept of simile as denoted by its special form existed in the works of the ancients. -- Scholars and translators have assumed that distinction of simile on the basis of verbal form was indeed a characteristic of ancient criticism. Mr. McCall, in his extensive examination of literature dating from before Aristotle to the beginnings of the late technical treatises, has, however, found no evidence for such an assumption. He argues, rather, that the critics in discussing comparison do not focus on precise form but are preoccupied with purpose, effect, length, suitability in prose or poetry, and relationship to metaphor and historical example. Conflict abounds in the testimony: Aristotle, for instance, declares that metaphor includes comparison, whereas Quintilian says it does not. -- In the course of the study the author seeks to clarify textual difficulties through close philological explication or emendation and to correct misinterpretations and mis-rranslations of passages dealing with comparison. He also provides translations of all Greek and Latin passages, for the benefit of the nonspecialist interested in the history of criticism. -- This is the first comprehensive study of the historical development of ancient views of comparison.
