  • Lucan's Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulf
    Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Catherine Connors, Chair Alain Gowing Stephen Hinds Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics © Copyright 2014 Laura Zientek University of Washington Abstract Lucan’s Natural Questions: Landscape and Geography in the Bellum Civile Laura Zientek Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Catherine Connors Department of Classics This dissertation is an analysis of the role of landscape and the natural world in Lucan’s Bellum Civile. I investigate digressions and excurses on mountains, rivers, and certain myths associated aetiologically with the land, and demonstrate how Stoic physics and cosmology – in particular the concepts of cosmic (dis)order, collapse, and conflagration – play a role in the way Lucan writes about the landscape in the context of a civil war poem. Building on previous analyses of the Bellum Civile that provide background on its literary context (Ahl, 1976), on Lucan’s poetic technique (Masters, 1992), and on landscape in Roman literature (Spencer, 2010), I approach Lucan’s depiction of the natural world by focusing on the mutual effect of humanity and landscape on each other. Thus, hardships posed by the land against characters like Caesar and Cato, gloomy and threatening atmospheres, and dangerous or unusual weather phenomena all have places in my study. I also explore how Lucan’s landscapes engage with the tropes of the locus amoenus or horridus (Schiesaro, 2006) and elements of the sublime (Day, 2013).

    Science and Poetry in Imperial Rome: Manilius, Lucan, and the Aetna Patrick Glauthier Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Patrick Glauthier All rights reserved ABSTRACT Science and Poetry in Imperial Rome: Manilius, Lucan, and the Aetna Patrick Glauthier This dissertation examines the relationship between scientific inquiry and hexameter poetry at Rome in the first century CE. It focuses on three poetic texts: Manilius’ Astronomica, Lucan’s Civil War, and the anonymous Aetna. It argues that despite generic and thematic differences, these works participate in a common dialogue and therefore can benefit from being read side by side. In particular, the dissertation demonstrates that all three authors reflect on the ability of poetry to communicate scientific knowledge, and that they simultaneously question or undermine the practical value of that knowledge. As a result, it allows us to see that scientific inquiry itself constitutes a dynamic and multifaceted area of creative literary activity in Early Imperial Rome.

EDITORIAL. |T could hardly be expected that the editors of this volume should come to the front to make their bow with anything but a proud smile; for we are proud. We are proud because we have published the first college annual ever issued from the University of Georgia; the second ever published in the South. Annuals are quite common in Northern colleges, and are as rare in the South, fully three-fourths of the Southern college students never having seen an annual, and having but a very crude idea of the character of such publications. Hence, we have but little fear that THK PANDORA will not receive a cordial reception. It will be an excellent Southern annual, because there are none with which to compare it. It will be the very best ever published in Georgia, because it is the only one the State has afforded. Hence, we are exceptional editors, because we have no apologies to make; we wish only to ask that, when you examine this book, and note how much room there is for improvement, you will remem­ ber that THE PANDORA is, in all respects, a pioneer. We sincerely hope that this pioneer will clear lands, build houses, and effect a permanent settlement, for there is no better way in which to preserve college records and to indicate progress than through annuals, and we ask our friends to give the future volumes of THE PANDORA all the encouragement and support they can, for the sake of the University of Georgia.

    STUDIES IN THE TEXT OF LATIN POETS OF THE GOLDEN AGE Estudio crítico e interpretativo de algunos pasajes de Culex y Ciris, así como de las Heroidas y los poemas del exilio ovidianos. Some critical and interpretative notes about Culex, Ciris and Ovid's Heroides and poems from exile. PALABRAS CLAVE: Culex, Ciris, Heroidas, Tristia, Ex Ponto, Virgilio, Ovidio, crítica textual, interpretación. KEY WORDS: Culex, Ciris, Heroidas, Tristia, Ex Ponto, Virgil, Ovid, textual criticism, interpretation. I. NOTES ON VIRGIL'S CVLEX At lines 94-97 the poct mentions the Hamadryads: o pecudes, o Panes et o gratissima tempe tfontist Hamadlyadum, quarum non diuite cultu aemulus Ascraeo pastor sibi quisque poetae securam placido traducit pectore uitam. The critics have bcen puzzled by the text of line 95. Textual alteration is, however, not necessary. The poet refers to "pleasing valley (gratissima tempe2) of the spring of the Hamadryads". The Hamadryads are nymphs who are imagined to inhabit the trees which surround the spring. Similarly at A.P. 6.189.1 the Hamadryads are said to be the "brides of the river": vitai álict8puĉt8Es, TroTap.a Kópai. The poet means that the personified river-god was the lover of the Hamadryad nymphs. Cf Propertius 2.34.75-76 where the Hamadryads are said to befaciles, i.e., "wanton"3. In lines 96-97 every herdsman is said to imitate (aemulus) Hcsiod (Ascraeo poetae). The poet is alluding to the fact that Hesiod was acting as a shepherd when the Muses appeared to him and inspired his poctry: cf Hesiod, Theogony line 22ff. Cf D.

  • A LITERARY COMMUNE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council
    /VT A LITERARY COMMUNE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Ann N. Black, B. S. Denton, Texas August, 1974 Black, Ann Neill, A Literary Commune. Master of Arts (English),.August, 1974, 159 pp., bibliography, 90 titles. Initially, this work recognizes that college students often fail to understand or to appreciate the language of literature; therefore, a proposal has been developed that incorporates the typical methods and media of two academic areas--literature and oral interpretation--into a synchro- nized, dual approach to the study of literature. Chapter I discusses contemporary problems of literacy in general; Chapter II explores the traditional teaching approaches of English and oral interpretation; and Chap- ter III develops a possible-literary communal effort by outlining a survey course in British Literature and pre- senting a series of exemplificative Writers Theatre scripts. Chapter IV reviews the associative problems that apparently exist between oral language and the written symbol and recommends that a companion project might demonstrate more fully the efficacy of an integrative approach to the teach- ing of writing.

  • Alexander Pope an Essay on Criticism
    Alexander Pope An Essay on Criticism Written in the year 1709 [The title, _An Essay on Criticism_ hardly indicates all that is included in the poem. It would have been impossible to give a full and exact idea of the art of poetical criticism without entering into the consideration of the art of poetry. Accordingly Pope has interwoven the precepts of both throughout the poem which might more properly have been styled an essay on the Art of Criticism and of Poetry.] * * * * * PART I. 'Tis hard to say if greater want of skill Appear in writing or in judging ill, But of the two less dangerous is the offense To tire our patience than mislead our sense Some few in that but numbers err in this, Ten censure wrong for one who writes amiss, A fool might once himself alone expose, Now one in verse makes many more in prose. 'Tis with our judgments as our watches, none Go just alike, yet each believes his own In poets as true genius is but rare True taste as seldom is the critic share Both must alike from Heaven derive their light, These born to judge as well as those to write Let such teach others who themselves excel, And censure freely, who have written well Authors are partial to their wit, 'tis true [17] But are not critics to their judgment too? Yet if we look more closely we shall find Most have the seeds of judgment in their mind Nature affords at least a glimmering light The lines though touched but faintly are drawn right, But as the slightest sketch if justly traced Is by ill coloring but the more disgraced So by false learning is good sense defaced Some are bewildered in the maze of schools [26] And some made coxcombs nature meant but fools In search of wit these lose their common sense And then turn critics in their own defense Each burns alike who can or cannot write Or with a rival's or an eunuch's spite All fools have still an itching to deride And fain would be upon the laughing side If Maevius scribble in Apollo's spite [34] There are who judge still worse than he can write.

    © Copyright 2016 Bridget Langley Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape Bridget Alice Langley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Stephen Hinds, Chair Catherine Connors Alain Gowing Kathryn Topper Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Classics University of Washington Abstract Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape Bridget Alice Langley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Stephen Hinds Classics Written on Running Water: Ovidian Poetics in the Roman Waterscape analyzes the symbolic value of water in Ovid’s poetry and considers how this was affected by the reorganization of the Roman water supply under Augustus. Agrippa and Augustus gained enormous political capital by restructuring and coordinating the city’s hydraulic infrastructure, and they altered the Roman landscape and the cultural significance of water in ways that would profoundly influence the building programmes and self-promotion of later emperors. I show that the abundance and beauty of the city’s new waterscape also affected Ovid’s use of images such as the fountain of inspiration and the locus amoenus, and came to represent the ideal aquatic environment. Taking a broad view of Ovid’s water poetics, I examine his depictions of Roman hydraulic infrastructure, his representations of water systems outside of the city, and the transformative waters of the Metamorphoses which challenge human attempts to control nature. Throughout his oeuvre, Ovid harnesses the power of water to figure his life and his poetic activity. I show that the basis for these images can be found in the newly transformed waterscape of the city of Rome.

  • Pope's Essay on Criticism
    828 P825C 'mmMI mm 1896 l?%/fi|riiffiE|5ffi hmm •H POPE'S ESSAY ON CRITICISM POPE'S ESSAY ON CRITICISM EDITED, WITH INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY JOHN CHURTON COLLINS, M.A. MACMILLAN AND CO., Limited NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1896 All rights reserved UNIVERSITY FRESS GLASGOW : PRINTED AT THE BY ROBERT MACLEHOSE AND CO. PREFACE. The task of editing any portion of Pope's writings has been so much lightened by the labours of four generations of commentators that there is now very little room for original research, or for any important additions either in the way of commentary or illustra- tion. I have had before me the editions of Warburton, Warton, Bowles, Eoscoe, Elwin, and Courthope, the notes of Wakefield, Conington's interesting essay, and I am indebted to them all, but especially to Mr. Elwin's notes and to Mro Courthope's excellent Life of Pope. As this edition is designed mainly for the use of students, both in England and in the Colonies, the notes are very copious, but I have endeavoured to make them as succinct and relevant as I could. I have, I hope, left no passage or even word, likely to present any difficulty, unexplained. It has been neces- sary to quote somewhat freely from ancient classical authors, but where quotations have been given they have always been translated. It seems a great pity that instruction in the principles of criticism should vi PREFACE. be so generally neglected, both in our schools and in our colleges, and so little encouraged by those who prescribe the subjects of study in our higher government examinations.
