Combining historic engravings with an accessible modern commentary, The Ancient World: A Visual History offers a uniquely visual approach to exploring the cultures of the key civilizations of ancient times.

A Visual History

Ancient World

An engaging, wide-ranging exploration of the end of Roman Britain and the beginnings of England &nbsp; In 410 CE, Roman rule of Britain collapsed, bringing a centuries-long occupation to an end. A century later, Britain was dividing into two areas with contrasting cultures, an expansive “Anglo-Saxon” south and east, and a shrinking Celtic west and north. How did this transition happen? And why did the customs of the Germanic incomers prevail in England, unlike elsewhere in Europe? &nbsp; In this deeply researched account, Nicholas J. Higham addresses these difficult questions head on. Higham draws on archaeological evidence and contemporary literature, including the writings of Gildas, to reconsider the accepted narrative. We see anew the importance of culture, warfare, and language—as the arrival, spread, and dominance of incomers irrevocably changed the country. This period marked the beginnings of Englishness, and of such insular identities as Welsh and Cornish. Offering surprising new insights, Higham provides a penetrating account of how, as Roman Britain ended, Anglo-Saxon England emerged.

The School of Chrysippus: Zeno of Tarsus and Diogenes of Babylon

This volume presents a newly edited text of Euripides' Electra with a scene-by-scene and line-by-line commentary that addresses a wide variety of questions, including the nature of Euripidean tragedy. In his Introduction and across several discussions in the commentary, David Kovacs presents an alternative to the current scholarly consensus on Euripides. Scholars following this consensus tell us that Euripides' play is a cynical take on the old story of Orestes' and Electra's revenge on Aegisthus and Clytaemestra. Both of the principal figures, we are told, are morally diminished, Electra inter alia by her excessive hatred of Clytaemestra and Orestes by his cynical reliance on Aegisthus' hospitable nature to get himself invited to the sacrifice at which he will kill his host. It is also alleged that this play virtually excludes the gods, who are part and parcel of the tragic genre. Kovacs shows that these and similar unfavourable judgements fail to take note of the practice of the other tragedians and also overlook evidence from Euripides' text, such as the frequent mention of the gods, that locate the play squarely within the tragic genre. What emerges is a play that is well constructed and thematically integrated; a play whose novelties--and an Athenian audience would not have wanted a play on an oft-treated myth to lack novelty--are all new ways of producing tragic effects found also in Aeschylus and Sophocles; a play that gives greater scope to the tragic view of the universe than even the corresponding plays of Aeschylus and Sophocles, thereby confirming Aristotle's judgement that Euripides is 'the most tragic of the poets'; in short, a play that can be called a tragedy without qualification. The gap between Euripides' original manuscript and the earliest complete copy we possess is nearly two millennia. This volume makes a considerable number of suggestions for improving a Greek text that has been badly corrupted over this period of manual copying.

From P. C. Cast, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the landmark&nbsp;House of Night&nbsp;urban fantasy&nbsp;series, comes an epic, lusty, magic-filled romantasy about British warrior queen Boudicca. Perfect for fans of Sue Lynn Tan and Madeline Miller!In Roman-occupied Britain, the Iceni tribe crowns an extraordinary new queen. Tall and flame-haired, Boudicca is devoted to Andraste, the Iceni’s patron goddess, known for her raven familiar, her fierceness and her swirling blue tattoos. Boudicca and her two young daughters will carry the tribe forward in dangerous times.Roman tax collector Catus Decianus, expecting weakness in a female ruler, launches a devastating attack on the tribe’s stronghold. Boudicca and her family barely survive—but they refuse to bend the knee. She calls a war council, bringing together her most trustworthy allies, including her childhood friend Rhan, now a powerful Druid seer, and the horse master Maldwyn, whose devotion to Boudicca runs deeper than a warrior to a queen.Surprising the Romans, Boudicca’s armies sack the wealthy cities of Camulodunum, Londinium and Veralamium. As the snow falls, the Celts retreat to a hidden valley to plot their assault on the remaining Roman legions, determined to force the invaders from Britan.But in the jagged ice of winter the Druid Rhan foresees a tragic end to Boudicca’s rebellion. Although the defeat of the Iceni is spelled out in signs sent by the gods, Rhan swears she will alter the future and save her queen. Now the battle-hardened Boudicca must put her trust in the powers of the otherworld to save her from both the traitors in her midst and from Rome’s mighty legions.Inspired by the rich history of Boudicca’s attack on Roman Britain, bestselling author P. C. Cast crafts an epic, mythic retelling of one of time’s most legendary female warriors.

Classical Diaspora

"Pâeter Hajdu examines the cultivation of the Classics as an intellectual framework and crucial ingredient of the western aspect of Hungarian national identity. This book approaches the relationship of modern Hungarian culture to classical heritage from the various viewpoints of identity politics, education, translation history, scholarship, and its impact on literature. When the Hungarian nation-building project developed ideas of national identity, it necessarily incorporated the historical narrative according to which the Hungarians arrived at their current homeland in the Middle Ages, and only later did it adopt European culture. The duplicity of a mostly imagined Asian, pagan, barbaric or nomadic culture, and a Western, Christian, civilized identity, deeply rooted in European culture, has played and continues to play a role in the Hungarian discourse"--

Bloomsbury Neo-Latin Series: Early Modern Texts and Anthologies

On June 13, 1753 the Irene set sail from London to New York. One of her passengers was Christian Wedsted, a Moravian missionary headed to his post in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. While many travelers would chronicle their transatlantic journeys, Wedsted chose to recount his in 200 lines of Latin poetry, imitating the preferred form of the ancient Roman poet Ovid. This poem is one of about 45 Latin poems that Wedsted composed in Germany, England, and Pennsylvania, all of which are presented here together for the first time alongside translations into English. A critical introduction and commentary provide historical, literary, and religious context for Wedsted's poetry, across an oeuvre containing birthday poems, impassioned religious verses, and personal anecdotes about life in colonial Pennsylvania. At around 1200 lines, the poems make up one of the largest extant collections of 18th-century Latin poetry from the Americas. Moravian piety is central to Wedsted's identity, and he exchanges poems with important Moravian personalities, weaving together classical material and Christian material to create an original and unique project in colonial America. Many of the poems are experiments in genre that put ancient models and meters to work in new contexts. Half of the poems were written after his arrival in America, and as such they offer a rare window into life on the colonial frontier.
