Classical Literary Careers and Their Reception
Book (italiano):
This wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers and their reception in later European literature, with contributions by leading experts. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career-Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace and Ovid-the volume then looks at alternative and counter-models in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero and Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns is examines, from Dante to Wordsworth, and including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden and Goethe. These chapters pose the question of the continuing relevance of ancient career models as ideas of authorship change over the centuries, leading to varying engagements and disengagements with classical literary careers. The volume also considers other ways of concluding or extending a literary career, such as book burning and figurative metempsychosis.<BR><BR>Philip Haradie is Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, and Honorary Professional Latin Literature at the University of Cambridge.
