Synopsis
Excerpt from Personification and the Use of Abstract Subjects in the Attic Orators and Thukydides, Vol. 1: A Dissertation Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
These last two classes of abstract subjects are closely related to each other and together represent the rhetorical use. They belong properly to imaginative or impassioned language, and from the nature of the case there is little restriction upon the verb employed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth exploration of the practice of using non-personal subjects, particularly natural and abstract ideas, within the structures of Attic Greek orators and historian Thucydides. The author investigates the stylistic effects of associating actions or qualities often attributed to people with non-personal subjects, known as personification. The book examines examples from literature, philosophy, politics, and other disciplines, providing a comprehensive overview of this literary device. By delving into the nuances of personification in Attic Greek, this book not only contributes to our understanding of classical Greek literature but also sheds light on the broader development of language, rhetoric, and the expression of abstract thought throughout history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331913818_0
