Abstract

The poems of Theocritus are our best witness to a brilliant poetic culture that flourished in the first half of the third century BC. This book considers the context from which these poems grew and, in particular, the manner in which they engage with and recreate the poetic forms of the Greek archaic age. The focus is not on the familiar bucolic poems of Theocritus, but on the hymns, mimes and erotic poems of the second half of the corpus. Recent papyri have greatly increased our understanding of how Theocritus read archaic poetry, and these discoveries are fully exploited in a set of readings which will change the way we look at Hellenistic poetry.

Abstract

This volume explores the intersection between historiography and related genres in antiquity. Papers cover the geographical range from China through the near east to the classical period in the Mediterranean. Topics addressed include the place in ancient Chinese historiography of philosophical argument; the nature and kind of historical text in the Hittite, Babylonian, Persian and biblical periods, including (for the first time) a full transliteration and translation of the Old Hittite story of Anum-hirbi and Zalpa, and a new interpretation of the Darius inscription at Behistun; and the relation of rhetorical stratagems and theory to Sallust, Livy, and Tacitus. Contributors also consider the relationship between texts, including the war narratives of Herodotus and Thucydides, and the propriety of different schemes of generic classification.

Abstract

Schwankromane wie etwa der "Pfaffe Amîs", der "Kalenberger" oder "Neithart Fuchs" standen lange Zeit im Schatten des bekannteren Eulenspiegel-Romans. Dabei prägten die übrigen Romane deutlich die Erscheinungsform auch dieses Werks der Weltliteratur und somit auch die faszinierende, zum Teil widersprüchlich wirkende Zeichnung seines Helden. Der Band zeigt, wie im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert, ausgehend von älteren Stoffen, mit den neuen Mitteln der typographischen Revolution eine literarische Gattung ins Leben gerufen wurde, die sich als Unterhaltungsliteratur an ein breiteres anonymes Publikum richtete. Die Untersuchung ermöglicht Einblicke sowohl in die Mentalitätsgeschichte einer Zeit, deren Ängste und Wünsche sich paradigmatisch in der Symbolfigur des Narren spiegeln, als auch in erste unternehmerische Strategien, Bücher am Markt zu etablieren, indem sie sich an anderen erfolgreichen Titeln orientieren.
