| Statius' Silvae and the Poetics of Empire 55,50 € Cambridge University Press Sivumäärä: 368 sivua Asu: Pehmeäkantinen kirja Julkaisuvuosi: 2010, 14.01.2010 (lisätietoa) Kieli: Englanti Statius' Silvae, written late in the reign of Domitian (AD 81–96), are a new kind of poetry that confronts the challenge of imperial majesty or private wealth by new poetic strategies and forms. As poems of praise, they delight in poetic excess whether they honour the emperor or the poet's friends. Yet extravagant speech is also capacious speech. It functions as a strategy for conveying the wealth and grandeur of villas, statues and precious works of art as well as the complex emotions aroused by the material and political culture of empire. The Silvae are the product of a divided, self-fashioning voice. Statius was born in Naples of non-aristocratic parents. His position as outsider to the culture he celebrates gives him a unique perspective on it. The Silvae are poems of anxiety as well as praise, expressive of the tensions within the later period of Domitian's reign. Tilaustuote | Arvioimme, että tuote lähetetään meiltä noin 1-3 viikossa.
