Unknown Author

4.9/5 (18240 ratings)

Description:This is a wide-ranging collection of essays on ancient Roman literary careers & their reception in later European literature, with expert contributions. Starting from the three major Roman models for constructing a literary career Virgil (the rota Vergiliana), Horace & Ovid the volume looks at alternative & countermodels in antiquity: Propertius, Juvenal, Cicero & Pliny. A range of post-antique responses to the ancient patterns are then examined, from Dante to Wordsworth, & including Petrarch, Shakespeare, Milton, Marvell, Dryden & 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 & disengagements with classical literary careers. There are also chapters on other ways of concluding or extending a literary career: bookburning & figurative metempsychosis.Introduction.
