Beschreibung

In "A History of Ancient Greek Literature," Gilbert Murray provides a comprehensive survey of the literary achievements of ancient Greece, emphasizing the interplay between cultural and historical forces that shaped its production. Murray's approach is both descriptive and analytical, revealing the evolution of genres from epic poetry to drama, while placing significant works within the broader framework of Greek civilization. His prose is marked by clarity and elegance, making complex ideas accessible, while his scholarly rigor situates the literature within philosophical and social contexts, underscoring its enduring influence on Western thought. Gilbert Murray, a distinguished classical scholar and translator, was profoundly influenced by the turbulent socio-political changes of his time, including the Great War. His deep commitment to humanistic values and understanding of classical traditions motivated him to explore the connections between ancient texts and contemporary issues. Murray's illustrious career, including notable academic positions and his advocacy for the demilitarization of education, informed his insights into the deeper meanings of Greek literature as a reflection of the human condition. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the roots of Western literature and thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Murray's incisive analysis and appreciation of ancient Greek works both illuminating and engaging, making it a vital addition to any literary library.

    When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his bleak and barbarous new surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilization ceased to exist. Our own fascination with the Greek and Roman world has for centuries followed this perspective, shrouding cultures at the far reaches of their influence in myth. But what was it like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world? 
     
     
     
    In The Far Edges of the Known World, ancient historian Owen Rees draws on archaeological excavations to reveal these so-called borders as thriving multicultural spaces. This is where the boundaries of "civilized" and "barbarian" began to dissipate; where traditional rules didn't always apply; where different cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities. Rees journeys from the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrian’s Wall. Rees introduces us to the everyday people who called the borderlands home. As Rees shows, exchanges of trends, ideas, even religious practices were happening all over the world. 
     
     
     
    The Far Edges of the Known World offers us a vibrant new lens to see and understand the ancient world.

    America has an array of women writers who have made history--and many of them lived, died and were buried in Virginia. Gothic novelists, writers of westerns and African American poets, these writers include a Pulitzer Prize winner, the first woman writer to be named poet laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the first woman to top the bestseller lists in the twentieth century. Mary Roberts Rinehart was a best-selling mystery author often called the "American Agatha Christie." Anne Spencer was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. V.C. Andrews was so popular that when she died, a court ruled that her name was taxable, and the poetry of Susan Archer Talley Weiss received praise from Edgar Allan Poe. Professor and cemetery history enthusiast Sharon Pajka has written a guide to their accomplishments in life and to their final resting places.

    A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
     
     
     
    Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.
