Berkeley, University of California Press, 288 p. Original cloth. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Zustand: Beschabter Einband, kleine Bleisstiftvermerke am oberen Rand des Fliegenden Blatts sowie rote Filzstiftanstreichungen auf Seite 126. Ansonsten im einwandfreien Zustand. / Condition: Scraped binding, small pencil annotations on the upper margin of the flyleaf and red felt-tip pen markings on page 126. Otherwise in perfect condition. - Content: This book forms a companion volume to Essays in Antiquity (1960); since the latter work is not only still in print, but depressingly often ? from my point of view ? the one book I have written which people know and remember, there may be room for a further venture in the same field. As before, with one or two exceptions, none of the studies here presented has previously appeared in anything like its present form; and even the exceptions have undergone very substantial revision. ?The Shadow of the Parthenon? appears here for the first time; and the bulk of its companion-pieces have been so drastically rewritten, recombined and expanded that they, too, can virtually count as new creations. Material has gone into them from a number of widely disparate sources: I have in fact printed no more than about one-tenth of the material at my disposal, preferring to regard a book of this sort as a critical selection and reappraisal of my views over a twelve-year period rather than an untidy holdall for the dusty contents of my bottom drawer. Lectures, seminar-notes, and reviews or articles which first appeared in The Times Literary Supplement account for a good proportion of the raw material fed into my files for reworking and revision. The section on Sappho in ?The Individual Voice? began life as a postscript to my novel The Laughter of Aphrodite, was subsequently revised and expanded for publication in the Cornhill Magazine and Horizon (USA) and acquired further additions and modifications from several years? lecturing on Greek history and literature. ?The First Sicilian Slave War? was originally published (with full documentation) in Past and Present 20 (Nov. 1961), pp. 10-29. ?Juvenal and his Age? is reprinted, with various additions, deletions, and modifications, from the Introduction to my translation of Juvenal for the Penguin Classic,. My Appendix on ?The Date of Archilochus? appears here in print for the first time. ISBN 9780520255074Antike 1972, [PU: University of California Press]<
