Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series: Early Modern Texts and Anthologies

Providing the first edited text, translation and commentary of two Renaissance dream-narrative satires, this edition sheds light on the period's literary history and reception of classical texts. Cleophilus' De coetu poetarum (first printed 1483-1485) and Iustus Lipsius' Somnium (first printed 1581) are both framed as dreams in which their authors encounter ancient authors and compare ancient literary works to the deplorable state of literature in their own times. They belong to a tradition of reflections on the characteristics of literature and the value attached to it over time, while also themselves imitating ancient poetic structures. Lipsius' Somnium, written in a mixture of prose and verse that characterises the so-called Menippean satire, has attracted much scholarly attention as a central text in the tradition of satirical dream narratives that held sway in Humanist circles from the late sixteenth century onwards. By contrast, Cleophilus' elegiac poem has long been neglected by scholars, even though its wide contemporary popularity and importance as an early forerunner of this satirical tradition can be seen from later works such as Dante's Divine Comedy. This edition makes these two important texts more accessible and allows their assessment side by side, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of Renaissance-Humanist satire and the wider development of literary history as well as the reception of classical literature in the early modern period.

Die Apocolcyntosis, überliefert unter dem Namen Senecas des Jüngeren, ist ein zwar kurzer, dafür aber umso boshafterer Text über die Vergöttlichung des Kaisers Claudius, dessen Eigenheiten und Schwächen hier bis ins Absurdeste karikiert werden. In der Tradition der Menippeischen Satire wechseln sich Prosa- und Verspartien ab, das Register reicht vom sublimen Epos bis zum Vulgärsten. Da den Rezipienten nicht nur intime Kenntnis der ganzen, immer wieder in Anspielungen aufgerufenen lateinischen Literatur, sondern auch der höchsten Gesellschaftskreise Roms zur Mitte des ersten nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts abverlangt werden, ist der vorliegenden Übersetzung ein Kommentar beigegeben, um für das Verständnis des mitunter schlecht überlieferten Textes ein erstes Hilfsmittel zu bieten. Enthalten ist außerdem ein Essay von Niklas Holzberg, in dem die delikate Frage der Autorschaft thematisiert wird.

Apocolocyntosis

'This may be the best translation of The Odyssey yet. Daniel Mendelsohn's rendering of Homer's text is both highly readable and faithful to the original metre. It's impressive, thrilling stuff... a sonorous new translation' - Edith Hall, The Telegraph With his Odyssey, bestselling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike ?a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles. Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's masterwork its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original. The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.

Unheard Voices of the Young Egyptian Brothers

A vivid and musical rendering of the poetry of Catullus, whose passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries &nbsp; “Catullus’s verses still ring true, reminding readers that the habits of the heart haven’t changed in millennia.”—Publishers Weekly &nbsp; In the fourteenth century, a manuscript surfaced in Verona that had been lost for more than a thousand years: the poems of Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BCE), considered by many to be one of the greatest poets who ever lived. These poems, with their beauty, wit, tenderness, and heartbreak, are still as alive and moving today as they were two thousand years ago. &nbsp; They are dense, subtle, witty, ardent, fearless, deeply uncensored, nasty (sometimes), petty (sometimes), and always beautiful. It’s especially his love poems that have earned readers’ admiration over the centuries; the joy and the savage self-inflicted torments that he underwent in his “miserable, disastrous love affair” have been shaped into poems that for honesty and emotional power have few parallels in world literature. &nbsp; Stephen Mitchell, who is known for bringing ancient texts to vibrant new life, has now translated Catullus’s poems for a new generation of readers. These are the first translations of Catullus to reimagine his rhythms in English and thus to let contemporary readers hear the formal beauty of his verse as well as its content, which Robert Lowell calls “much more raw and direct than anything in English.”
