The New Middle Ages: Medieval Ovid: Frame Narrative and Political Allegory

 

Medieval Ovid uncovers the impetus for the floruit of Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman story compilations throughout late medieval Western Europe. Previously disregarded as encyclopedic fodder for practicing moralizing exegesis, these works actually originate from widely disseminated (yet previously unanalyzed) commentaries used by students, scholars, and secular readers studying Ovid's composition strategies.

Beschrijving The New Middle Ages: Medieval Ovid: Frame Narrative and Political Allegory

Ovid's Metamorphoses played an irrefutably important role in the integration of pagan mythology in Christian texts during the Middle Ages. This book is the only study to consider this Ovidian revival as part of a cultural shift disintegrating the boundaries between not only sacred and profane literacy but also between academic and secular politics.

The Homeric Doloneia

The Doloneia is the most controversial book of the Iliad, its authenticity being doubted since antiquity. But by applying sophisticated interpretive tools, this book maintains that Iliad 10 was not composed by a single poet, that it is thematically consonant with the rest of the Iliad, and that it has evolved from an earlier Iliadic version.

Poetry of the Second World War

This new anthology brings together a generous selection of famous wartime poets alongside works by civilians and soldiers, offering a symphony of different voices, all connected in their shared experience of the Second World War.
