The Muse of History
Is all history history of the present, or is the past “another country,” to be valued for its otherness? If “presentism” runs the risk of navel-gazing, does the cultivation of a past that is alien to us make history irrelevant? Murray's magisterial history of (mainly ancient) historiography, from the Enlightenment to now, asks the big questions without skimping on the characters, institutions, and friendships that lie behind them.Particularly ale…
Metanoia
Adam Ellwanger’s provocative and timely book opens with a simple, but compelling, assertion: “Changing minds is the central aim of rhetoric” (1). With Metanoia, Ellwanger shines a light on the history and utility of what he characterizes as “the rhetorical figure of rhetoric par excellence” (3)—metanoia (indicating a “change of mind”), which has been surprisingly neglected by rhetoric scholars in the modern era. His account is, consequently, a we…

The Living Death of Antiquity
This book is about the idealization of an antiquity that exhibits, in the words of Johann Joachim Winckelmann, ‘a noble simplicity and quiet grandeur’. It discusses the aesthetics of this strain of neoclassicism as manifested in a range of work in different media and periods but focusing on the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. John Flaxman’s engravings on the Iliad and the sculpture of Antonio Canova and Bertel Thorvaldsen are anal…
Voicing Antiquity
In this chapter, the ancient collection of anonymous poems known as the Anacreontea and the Horatian pastiches of the French Parnassian poet Charles Leconte de Lisle ( Études latines , 1852) are examined as ‘neoclassical’ versions of the ancient sympotic themes of drinking and loving. Here classicism meets cliché. Each of these collections is a stripped-down version of an earlier poet (the archaic Greek poet Anacreon and the Roman poet Horace) th…
Sculpture between the Graceful and the Heroic
This chapter discusses the focus of neoclassical idealization of antiquity on sculpture, comparing the work of Antonio Canova to that of Bertel Thorvaldsen. Antonio Canova’s Theseus and the Minotaur has been described as the first neoclassical sculpture. This chapter begins with a discussion of the fluctuating reputation of Canova as a diagnosis of the mixed feelings aroused by neoclassicism. It contains close reading of Canova’s Theseus as a neo…

Claiming Inferiority
This chapter pinpoints engagements with alleged weakness as a central pre-occupation of Latin studies over the last thirty years and ponders the limitations of its conventional treatment and understanding by discussing a series of examples from Latin literature against the wider context of modern thought. Addressing central dimensions of the poetics of the weaker voice studied in detail in subsequent chapters—notably: authorial self-fashioning, h…

The Space of the Poem
Horace’s odes often make connections between different kinds of space, intimate and imperial, for instance, and it is noticeable that Horace tends to spatialize the poems themselves by putting geographical references at the beginning or end of the poem, and even by locating the lyric here and now in the middle. Ellen Oliensis has spoken of the relation between Horace’s lyric fines and ‘the larger cultural preoccupation with the masterful articula…
The Production of Space in Latin Literature
This volume addresses, through a range of different authors and genres, Latin literature’s psychogeographical engagement with space. The volume’s title alludes to Henri Lefebvre’s La Production de l’espace of 1974, a seminal work in what is now called ‘the spatial turn’ in the humanities. Lefebvre stresses that space is to be included among the sites of hegemonic power and ideological contestation in a society and should not simply be thought of …
Augustan Gothic
This chapter considers Alexander Pope’s verse letter ‘Eloisa to Abelard’ in relation to Ovid’s Heroides and Horace’s Epistles. Eloisa’s allusion to a line from Horace’ Epistles 1.11 (oblitusque meorum, obliuiscendus et illis, 9) gives a very different tinge to Horace’s rejection of the lyric impulse. Similarly, her proud claim that she has not yet forgot herself to stone revises the statement of Ariadne in the Heroides (10.49–50) that she is more…
Spiritual Modalities
A bold recasting of prayer as a rhetorical art, Spiritual Modalities investigates situations, strategies, and performative modes of discourse directed to divine audiences. Examining how prayer "works," Spiritual Modalities reads prayer's situations and strategies, its characteristic acts and attitudes, to advance an understanding of prayer as a basic expression of our rhetorical capacities for communication and communion. This groundbreaking anal…
Love, and a Genre
This chapter first analyzes a very unusual poem—unusual because the speaker is a woman, Sulpicia, though the poem belongs to a genre that is very emphatically male. Next, it explores the poetry of Ovid, arguing that his winking insincerity, his copious variety, and his sheer facility are at the opposite extreme to Sulpicia's laconic, sometimes awkward, intensity. Between them, Sulpicia and Ovid exemplify two expressive poles of Latin poetry. At o…
Epilogue
This chapter focuses on a little poem reputed to have been written by the emperor Hadrian (ad 117–38) on his deathbed. It shows that Hadrian's little poem has a very particular tone of voice, and its quiet intimacy in the face of death's separation is an appropriate place to bring the book's exploration of the Latin poets to an end.
How to Read a Latin Poem
Latin is very much alive in the poetry written by the great Latin poets, and this book is about their poetry, their language, and their culture. This book shows the reader with little or no knowledge of the Latin language how it works as a unique vehicle for poetic expression and thought. Moving between close analysis of particular Latin poems and more general discussions of Latin poets, literature, and society, the book gives the un-Latined read…

Listening, Ancient and Modern
The purpose of this paper is to describe some aspects of the agenda of listening in the Western tradition. Ancient and modern versions of some of the myths of listening (Orpheus, the Sirens) are compared to illustrate what might be at stake in the activity of listening. A basic contrast is drawn between ancient rhetorical ideas of the power of music to affect the listener and the demand of instrumental music, from the late eighteenth century on, …

The Letter's the Thing (in Pliny, Book 7)
This chapter examines Pliny's Letter found in Book 7, with particular reference to its status and some of the ways in which the letter was seen as the thing itself, as well as a symbol for the relation between the first and last letters of the book. The question of the status of Pliny's Letters in his project of self-immortalization is not unrelated to the status of the Letter itself, which always raises, in some form or other, the question of wh…
A Synthesis of Progress and Uncertainties in Attributing the Sources of Mercury in Deposition
A panel of international experts was convened in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2005, as part of the 8th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant. Our charge was to address the state of science pertinent to source attribution, specifically our key question was: "For a given location, can we ascertain with confidence the relative contributions of local, regional, and global sources, and of natural versus anthropogenic emissions to mercury…

Age differences in stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios in a population of prehistoric maize horticulturists
Stable carbon isotope ratios in prehistoric human bone collagen have been used extensively to document the introduction and intensification of maize horticulture in northeastern North America. Most previous studies are based on small samples of adults who are assumed to characterize the diet of the population. In this study, all 29 individuals buried within an Ontario Iroquoian village site dated A.D. 1530–1580 were analysed for stable isotopes o…
Power and Impotence in Horace's Epodes
Horace's Epodes are seldom considered as a whole. On the face of it, there would seem to be good reason for this fact. It is generally agreed that the poems were written over a period of ten years (from after Philippi to after Actium), during which time there was a great deal of change in the Roman world and in Horace's circumstances. Furthermore, the collection contains a considerable diversity of themes, genres and what, for lack of a better ex…

Psychological Adjustment and Coping Styles of Urban African American High School Students
In a study of African American (n = 208) urban high school students, grade point average (GPA) and specific strategies for coping with day-to-day stressors were found to be significantly related to psychological adjustment. Students who had higher GPAs tended to use family members as a means of solving problems, minimized problems by the use of humor, and used relaxation activities less often were found to have the most positive psychological adj…
Labor and Laborer in Latin Poetry
For most sections of the Roman population we possess no written account of their lives and experience as they themselves saw it: there are no slave narratives, no diaries, and no laborer poets from ancient Rome. 1 At the most we have inscriptions left by those commemorating the dead which tell us something about how the laboring poor, slave, freed or free, chose to identify themselves. 2 But these are extremely brief and formulaic and represent a…

More (Or Less) on Iroquoian Stemware
This comment argues that Latta's (1987) recent interpretation of certain ceramic items on sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Ontario Iroquoian sites as imitations of Catholic chalices is contrary to the chronological distribution of the artifacts, is inconsistent with the nature of contemporaneous chalices, and ignores more-plausible alternative interpretations
The Holy Places of Palestine in History and in Politics
ETWEEN the Mediterranean and the Mountains of Moab, hemmed in on the north by mighty Hermon and on the south by the desert and Sinai, lies that land dedicated to God, foiled by the folly of man, but still sacrosanct in the hearts of millions of bewildered human beings-the Holy Land, holy because of a people, holy because of a Book, and holy because of a Man. The word 'holy' in some ways is inadequate to express the emotions aroused by a contempla…
Radclyffe hall's the well of loneliness
Ever since the publication of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness in 1928, social scientists have speculated on its autobiographical aspects. The thesis of this article is that Hall adapted her characterizations and storyline from the work of Richard Von Krafft‐Ebing. The uncanny similarity between Stephen Gordon and Count Sandor in terms of their physical attributes, their personal histories, and the sequence of events could hardly be coinci…

"Lucretius' Cure for Love in the "De Rerum Natura
Articulating the Unarticulated
Keats's To Autumn and Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus share a concern with mortality as also with world of nature and things. This conjunction is not fortuitous for, as Blanchot has observed, the effort to elevate death to itself . .. implies an immense responsibility with regard to things.' The two poems that I will be considering show that Blanchot's statement is reversible and that effort to allow things to speak for themselves implies a recognitio…

Music Is Feeling, Then, Not Sound
fact that our listening goes beyond the sounds, to catch the quality of the performer's sensibility, an authenticity that transcends the mechanical demands of the instrument, so that the expression often occurs the form ...but he/she plays with feeling. Let us, however, allow ourselves to mishear the phrase and take and feeling their less respectable senses, turning our admirable performer into an irresponsible and self-indulgent connoisseur of t…

Slavery and the Roman Literary Imagination
This book explores the presence of slaves and slavery in Roman literature and asks particularly what the free imagination made of the experience of living with slaves, beings who both were and were not fellow humans. As a shadow humanity, slaves furnished the free with other selves and imaginative alibis as well as mediators between and substitutes for their peers. As presences that witnessed their owners' most unguarded moments they possessed a …
