Anders Cullhed’s study The Shadow of Creusa explores the early Christian confrontation with pagan culture as a remote anticipation of many later clashes between religious orthodoxy and literary fictionality. After a careful survey of Saint Augustine’s critical attitudes to ancient myth and poetry, summarized as a long drawn-out farewell, Cullhed examines other Late Antique dismissals as well as appropriations of the classical heritage. Macrobius, Martianus Capella and Boethius figure among the Late Antique intellectuals who attempted to save or even restore the old mythology by means of allegorical representation. On the other hand, pious poets such as Paulinus of Nola and Bible epic writers such as Iuvencus or Avitus of Vienne turned against pagan lies, and the mighty arch-bishop of Milan, Saint Ambrose, played off unconditional Christian truth against the last Roman strongholds of cultural pluralism. Thus, The Shadow of Creusa elucidates a cultural conflict which was to leave traces all through the Middle Ages and reach down to our present day.

In an ambitious overview of 1000 years of history, from the formation of the city-state of Rome to the establishment of a fully Christian culture, T.P. Wiseman examines the evidence for the oral delivery of 'literature' to mass public audiences. The treatment is chronological, utilising wherever possible contemporary sources and the close reading of texts. Presenting the history of Roman literature as an integral part of the social and political history of the Roman people, he draws some unexpected inferences from the evidence that survives. In particular, he emphasises the significance of the annual series of 'stage games', and reveals the hitherto unexplored common ground of literature, drama and dance.

Die systematische Untersuchung von Übersetzungen griechischer und lateinischer Autoren ist nach wie vor ein Desiderat. Ziel vorliegenden Bandes ist es zunächst, Studien zu ausgewählten Übersetzungscorpora vorzulegen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen deutsche Übersetzungen von Sappho, Alkaios, Thukydides, Herodot, Cicero, Ovid, Petron und Apuleius vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart. Diese Studien sind jeweils auf die Spezifika der Textcorpora zugeschnitten und untersuchen die Verfahrensweisen und Bedingungen des Übersetzens in Abhängigkeit von Sprachenpaar, Gattung, Überlieferungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte etc. Ergänzend dazu wird in einem abschließenden Beitrag nach den Grundlagen einer methodischen Fundierung von Übersetzungsanalyse und -kritik gefragt, wobei schon vorliegende Modelle (vor allem aus Translatologie und Textlinguistik) auf ihre Anwendbarkeit für Übersetzungen antiker Literatur hin geprüft werden. In der Verbindung von Fallstudien und methodischer Arbeit werden Vorschläge zu Verfahrensweise und Terminologie der Übersetzungsanalyse präsentiert, die künftigen Arbeiten auf dieser inter-disziplinären Schnittstelle zwischen Übersetzungswissenschaft, Alt- und Neuphilologie als Anregung und Ansatzpunkt dienen können. This volume is a collection of studies on the translation of Greek and Latin authors (Sappho, Alcaeus, Thucydides, Herodotus, Cicero, Ovid, Petronius, Apuleius), which examines the processes and conditions of translation as determined by reception history and genre, among others. The work is supplemented with an essay on the possibilities for developing a methodological basis for translation analysis and criticism.

With this volume, Jane Chance concludes her monumental study of the history of mythography in medieval literature. Her focus here is the advent of hybrid mythography, the transformation of mythological commentary by blending the scholarly with the courtly and the personal. Chance's in-depth examination of works by the major writers of the period demonstrates how they essentially co-opted a thousand-year tradition. Their intricate narratives of identity mixed commentary with poetry, reinterpreted classical gods and heroes to suit personal agendas, and gave rise to innovative techniques such as "inglossation"--the use of a mythological figure to comment on the protagonist within an autobiographical allegory. In this manner, through allegorical authorial projection of the self, the poets explored a subjective world and manifested a burgeoning humanism that would eventually come to full fruition in the Renaissance. No other work examines the mythographic interrelationships among these poets and their unique and personal approaches to mythological commentary.
