Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Near Fine. Book is fine. DJ has light shelfwear.; Xii, 191pp. Discovered one hundred years ago, Aristotle's Athenaion Politeia is invaluable to contemporary understanding of Athenian democracy. As a historical record, however, it has been found to be so unreliable that some have questioned its true authorship, and it has remained largely ignored by those studying philosophy and literature. Keaney uses a literary approach to reassert Aristotle's authorship and to present the Athenaion Politeia as a document that defies the constraints of any particular genre--probably never intended to be a piece of historical writing. He goes beyond the traditional approach of historical analysis to consider the work as characteristic of a new and innovative genre created by Aristotle, that of empirically-based cultural history.; 191 pages.…

Condition: Sehr gut. XII, 191 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, pencil annotation on endpaper, overall very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, Bleistiftanmerkung auf Vorsatzblatt, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Discovered one hundred years ago, Aristotles Athenaion Politeia is invaluable to contemporary understanding of Athenian democracy. As a historical record, however, it has been found to be so unreliable that some question its true authorshipproposing that it may be the work of one of Aristotles pupilsand it has remained largely ignored by those studying philosophy and literature. Keaney uses a literary approach to reassert Aristotles authorship and to present the Athenaion Politeia as a document that defies the constraints of any particular genreprobably never intended to be a piece of historical writing. Keaney goes beyond the traditional approach of historical analysis to consider the work as characteristic of a new and innovative genre created by Aristotle, that of empirically-based cultural history. In defining the methods of this new genre, Aristotle rejected the traditional conventions of historiography and concentrated on form and structure to convey his meaning. For example, Keaney shows how Aristotle used techniques such as chiastic structure, ring composition, and language repetition to create patterns, themes, and associations. He argues that while a superficial reading of what Aristotle had to say about Pericles might suggest that his opinion of the statesman was good, the language used to describe Pericles measures associates him with a decidedly inferior group of politicians. This revisionist study seeks to solve the problems of true authorship, genre, and poor historical method which are traditionally associated with Aristotles constitution of the Athenians. Keaney asserts that the work, written by Aristotle, belongs to the genre of empirically-based cultural history which was invented by Aristotle, and that it is properly interpreted only if considerations of form, language, and structure are taken into account. - John J.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Near Fine. Initials of editors to ffep "RL JJK > REF"-- (ie gift inscription? From editors to R. E. Fantham). Light dust-soiling to top of textblock. Paperclip indent to top of a few pages. Light pencil marginalia to a few pages. Light shelfwear to DJ.; Although the influence of Homer on Western literature has long commanded critical attention, little has been written on how various generations of readers have found meaning in his texts. These seven essays explore the ways in which the Iliad and the Odyssey have been read from the time of Homer through the Renaissance. By asking what questions early readers expected the texts to answer and looking at how these expectations changed over time, the authors clarify the position of the Iliad and the Odyssey in the intellectual world of antiquity while offering historical insight into the nature of reading. This collection surveys the entire field of preserved ancient interpretations of Homer, beginning with the fictional audiences portrayed within the poems themselves, proceeding to readings by Aristotle, the Stoics, and Aristarchus and Crates, and culminating in the spiritualized allegorical reading current among Platonists of the fifth and sixth centuries C. E. The influence of these ancient interpretations is then examined in Byzantium and in the Latin West during the Renaissance. Contributors to this volume are Robert Browning, Anthony Grafton, Robert Lamberton, A. A. Long, James Porter, Nicholas Richardson, and Charles Segal.; Magie Classical Publications; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 192 pages.…
