Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book reconsiders the question of Martin Luther's relationship with Rome in all its sixteenth-century manifestations: the early-modern city he visited as a young man, the ancient republic and empire whose language and literature he loved, the Holy Roman Empire of which he was a subject, and the sacred seat of the papacy. It will appeal to scholars as well as lay readers, especially those interested in Rome, the reception of the classics in the Reformation, Luther studies, and early-modern history.Springer's methodology is primarily literary-critical, and he analyzes a variety of texts--prose and poetry--throughout the book. Some of these speak for themselves, while Springer examines others more closely to tease out their possible meanings. The author also situates relevant texts within their appropriate contexts, as the topics in the book are interdisciplinary.While many of Luther's references to Rome are negative, especially in his later writings, Springer argues that his attitude to the city in general was more complicated than has often been supposed. If Rome had not once been so dear to Luther, it is unlikely that his later animosity would have been so intense. Springer shows that Luther continued to be deeply fascinated by Rome until the end of his life and contends that what is often thought of as his pure hatred of Rome is better analyzed as a kind of love-hate relationship with the venerable city. This book offers a fresh reevaluation of Martin Luther's tempestuous relationship with Rome, the city he visited as a young Augustinian friar and never thereafter forgot. Luther's Rome, Rome's Luther will help readers see the ancient city, the long-lived empire, and the sacred home of the papacy from Luther's complicated perspective.

Paperback. Condition: New. Martin Luther wrote a number of Latin poems, mostly using traditional classical metres, over the course of his career. He used them to praise friends, insult adversaries and express his faith in times of distress. Up until now, Luther's Neo-Latin poetry has largely fallen through the disciplinary cracks. Literary scholars have traditionally paid more attention to the Latin verse of more celebrated humanist poets such as Petrarch. Students of the Reformation have concentrated far more often on Luther's prose and his famous German hymns than on his Latin poems. Even scholars who are familiar with Luther's Neo-Latin poetry have dismissed it as of only marginal significance. As this book demonstrates, Luther's Latin verses are valuable cultural products that amply reward scholarly reconsideration. Springer's volume is the first to provide English translations of all of them. It also includes extensive introductions and line-by-line annotations for each of the poems, situating them within their literary traditions and contemporary contexts. As such, it enables readers to see that far from being a reformer who more or less repudiated the Classics, or someone who merely dabbled in them, Luther was a confident, even bold, Latin poet, who was serious about working out his own distinctive synthesis between Christianity and the language and literature of the ancient Romans.…

Reprint. Condition: Gut. pp. 103-126, suppl. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author to W. H. - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise good and very clean. - From the text: 'To read them is torture'. So pronounced the influential, if sometimes caustic, literary historian, Ernst Robert Curtins, of the biblical epics of Late Antiquity. One possible cause for the frustration of readers like Curtins with biblical epics, whether written in Late Antiquity or later, is the all too common tendency to study them as though they were composed in isolation from each other. This paper contends that biblical epics can be better appreciated if they are read against the backdrop of the long and dynamic literary tradition to which they belong. Clearly one's delight in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum is refined and deepened if one is also familiar with influential comedies like Plautus' Menaechmi or Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. Something of the same sort of illumination from within a tradition can be shed in reverse, as it were. Readers of Plautus who have recently seen the Broadway show or the film will actually have difficulty reading the latter without constant reference to the former. Such standard and self-evident considerations of what we might call the poetics of tradition can and should be applied to the reading of the biblical epic. - Suppl.: Bibiliography to the text, 3 p.
