(from Hart Crane’s Voyages, II) For Mom and Dad ii Acknowledgments I fear that what follows this preface will appear quite like one of the disorderly monsters it investigates. But should you find anything in this work compelling on account of its being lucid, know that I am not responsible. Not long ago, you see, I was brought up on charges of obscurantisme, although the only “terroristic” aspects of it were self- directed—“Vous avez mal compris; vous êtes idiot.”1 But I’ve been rehabilitated, or perhaps, like Aphrodite in Iliad 5 (if you buy my reading), habilitated for the first time, to the joys of clearer prose. My committee is responsible for this, especially my chair Richard Janko and he who first intervened, Benjamin Fortson. I thank them. If something in here should appear refined, again this is likely owing to the good taste of my committee. And if something should appear peculiarly sensitive, empathic even, then it was the humanity of my committee that enabled, or at least amplified, this, too.

Phoenix, the ​ ​ instructor of Achilles, tries to persuade Achilles to protect the ships of Achaeans during his speech. At the end of his speech, Phoenix tells Achilles about the story of Meleager which serves as a warning about waiting too long to fight the Trojans.

The answer cannot be that the nominative with infinitive in English is only an apparent one, for the genuine construction has been shown to occur. But it seems to follow from the facts mentioned that the genuine nominative with infinitive is only used in the case of verbs that can take an apparent (i.e. analysable) accusative with infinitive. The construction, therefore, is one step behind the development of the corres- ponding active construction. It is natural to consider, in this connection, the similar constructions with the present participle. Such a sentence as / saw him looking at a dead flower may be turned into the passive: He was seen looking at a dead flower (Handbook, 695). But it is clear that the nominative with present par- ticiple occurs only in the case of verbs that have an apparent accusative with participle, i.e.

J. HE remains of Hesiod are not alone interesting to the antiquary, as tracing a picture of the rude arts and manners of the ancient Greeks. His sublime viewa of a retri- philosophic allegories ; his elevated butive Providence and the romantic or ; elegance, daring grandeur, with which he has invested the legends of his mytholog}', offer more solid reasons than the accident of coeval existence for the tradi- tional association of his name with that of Homer. Hesiod has been translated in Latin hexameters by Nicolaus Valla, and by Bernardo Zamagna. A French translation by Jacques le Gras bears date 1586. The earliest essay on his poems by our owni " countrymen appears in the old racy version of Tlie Works and Days," by George Chapman, the trans- lator of Homer, published in 1618.

  • Ballad Opera in England: Its Songs, Contributors, and Influence
    BALLAD OPERA IN ENGLAND: ITS SONGS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND INFLUENCE Julie Bumpus A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 7, 2010 Committee: Vincent Corrigan, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Vincent Corrigan, Advisor The ballad opera was a popular genre of stage entertainment in England that flourished roughly from 1728 (beginning with John Gay's The Beggar's Opera) to 1760. Gay's original intention for the genre was to satirize not only the upper crust of British society, but also to mock the “excesses” of Italian opera, which had slowly been infiltrating the concert life of Britain. The Beggar's Opera and its successors were to be the answer to foreign opera on British soil: a truly nationalistic genre that essentially was a play (building on a long-standing tradition of English drama) with popular music interspersed throughout. My thesis explores the ways in which ballad operas were constructed, what meanings the songs may have held for playwrights and audiences, and what influence the genre had in England and abroad. The thesis begins with a general survey of the origins of ballad opera, covering theater music during the Commonwealth, Restoration theatre, the influence of Italian Opera in England, and The Beggar’s Opera. Next is a section on the playwrights and composers of ballad opera. The playwrights discussed are John Gay, Henry Fielding, and Colley Cibber. Purcell and Handel are used as examples of composers of source material and Mr. Seedo and Pepusch as composers and arrangers of ballad opera music.

(Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1939–68), 4: 102. 2. OED 2. 3. See Ricks’s essay on ‘Plagiarism’, originally published in Proceedings of the British Academy 97, reprinted in his Allusion to the Poets (Oxford University Press, 2002), pp. 219–40, 220. 4. See Chapter 1 for more detail on the lexicographical history. 5. Martial, Epigrams, I. 52. 6. See Stockdale’s An Inquiry into the Nature and Genuine Laws of Poetry (1778). Stockdale’s ideas about plagiarism are discussed in Chapter 8. 7. On modern ‘plagiarism studies’, see my ‘Plagiarism and Plagiarism Studies’, English Subject Centre Newsletter, 13 (October 2007): 6–8. The explosion of studies in this area can be deduced from two major studies published in 2007 alone: Tilar J. Mazzeo’s Plagiarism and Literary Property in the Romantic Period (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2007) and Robert Macfarlane’s Original Copy: Plagiarism and Originality in Nineteenth-Century Literature (Oxford University Press, 2007). 8. My methodology is indebted to Quentin Skinner, ‘The Idea of a Cultural Lexicon’, Essays in Criticism, 29 (1979): 205–24. 9. It is worth stressing here that this book does not propose itself as a contri- bution to the debate about the development of copyright. My general view is that no necessary relation exists between issues of literary originality and those concerning the definition of literary property as enshrined in eighteenth-century copyright legislation. See Simon Stern’s lucid analysis of these issues in ‘Copyright, Originality, and the Public Domain in Eighteenth- Century England’, in Reginald McGinnis (ed.) Originality and Intellectual Property in the French and English Enlightenment (London: Routledge, 2008), pp.

PUTNAM S SONS M CM XV 1 CONTENTS BOOK IX. —THE DECLAMATORY EPICRAMS 1 GENERAL INDEX 449 INDEX OF AUTHORS INCLUDED IN THIS VOLUME . 454 GREEK ANTHOLOGY BOOK IX THE DECLAMATORY AND DESCRIPTIVE EPIGRAMS This book, as we should naturally expect, is especially rich in epigrams from the Stephanus of Philippus, the rhetorical style of epigram having been in vogue during the period covered by that collection. There are several quite long series from this source, retaining the alphabetical order in which they were arranged, Nos. 215-312, 403-423, 541- 562. It is correspondingly poor in poems from Meleager s Stephanus (Nos. 313-338). It contains a good deal of the Alexandrian Palladas, a contemporary of Hypatia, most of wliich we could well dispense with. The latter part, from No. 582 07iwards, consists mostly of real or pretended in- scriptions on works of art or buildings, many quite unworthy of preservation, but some, especially those on baths, quite graceful. The last three epigrams, written in a later hand, do not belong to the original Anthology.
