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.

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 Pericles? Athens or Nero?s 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 Seneca?s Thyestes is the model whom Nero is urged to follow. The usual size of the Senecan chorus was three, never fifteen. Thespis? chorus was six. A careful index locorum antiquorum ends the volume and makes the material easily accessible.; Spudasmata Band 104; 431 pages.…

Condition: Neu. Collected papers on the Politics and Staging of Greco-Roman Tragedy. Edited by R. Scott Smith. Der Band versammelt 35 Aufsätze aus den Jahren 1958 bis 1998, die sich mit dem politischen Inhalt ausgewählter Tragödien und mit ihren Inszenierungen befassen. Als Historiker fragt Calder nach dem Kontext der Tragödien. Meist bestreitet er die opinio communis. Die Eumeniden sind ein Protest gegen die Perikleische Reform. Der Zeus des Prometheus steht für den Tyrannen Demos. Nicht Antigone, sondern Kreon ist der Held der Antigone. Der Neoptolemos des Philoktet ist von Anfang an ein raffinierter Betrüger. Der Ostgiebel in Olympia ist von Sophokles' Oinomaos inspiriert. Atreus in Senecas Thyestes ist das Vorbild, dem Nero sich genötigt fühlt zu folgen. Der Chor bei Seneca bestand meist aus drei, niemals aus 15 Choreuten. Thespis' Chor bestand aus sechs Choreuten. Fehler in den Erstveröffentlichungen wurden korrigiert und gelegentliche Hinweise auf neuere Literatur wurden hinzugefügt. Ein detaillierter index locorum antiquorum schließt den Band ab. 2. Auflage.
