Hardcover. Condition: New condition. New dust jacket. First Printing of the First Edition. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018. New and unread in a bright and shiny New dust jacket. The jacket is in near PERFECT condition with only a tiny bit of very minor shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store…). NO chips, tears or fading. Square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. 2018. First printing of the First Edition with complete number row (10 987654321) on the copyright page. Edited and translated by A.M. Juster. Introduction by Michael Roberts. Bibliography. Bound in the original gilt-stamped black cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From GoodReads: "Not much can be known about the life of Maximianus, who has been called 'the last of the Roman poets,' beyond what can be inferred from his poetry. He was most likely a native of Tuscany, probably lived until the middle of the sixth century, and, at an advanced age, went as a diplomat to the emperor's court at Constantinople. A. M. Juster has translated the complete elegies of Maximianus faithfully but not literally, resulting in texts that work beautifully as poetry in English. Replicating the feel of the original Latin verse, he alternates iambic hexameter and pentameter in couplets and imitates Maximianus's pronounced internal rhyme, alliteration, and assonance. The first elegy is the longest and establishes the voice of the speaker: a querulous old man, full of the indignities of aging, which he contrasts with the vigor and prestige he enjoyed in his youth. The second elegy similarly focuses on the contrast between past happiness and present misery but, this time, for the specific experience of a long-term relationship. The third through fifth elegies depict episodes from the poet's amatory career at different stages of his life, from inexperienced youth to impotent old man. The last poem concludes with a desire for the release of death and, together with the first, form a coherent frame for the collection. This comprehensive volume includes an introduction by renowned classicist Michael Roberts, a translation of the elegies with the Latin text on facing pages, the first English translation of an additional six poems attributed to Maximianus, an appendix of Latin and Middle English imitative verse that illustrates Maximianus's long reception in the Middle Ages, several related texts, and the first commentary in English on the poems since 1900. The imminence of death and the sadness of growing old that form the principal themes of the elegies signal not only the end of pagan culture and its joy in living but also the turn from a classical to a medieval sensibility in Late Antiquity." GoodReads rating 4.50 stars. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. xi, 223pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
