    "A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parties revisit yesterday’s killing fields to attend to their dead. One casualty in particular commands attention: Aeneas’ protégé Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundational act of sacrificial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefigured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the martial arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the final third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the battlefield but on gender stereotypes and the conventions of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the portions of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil offers some of his most emotive (and disturbing) meditations on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

     

    This course book offers the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard’s volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Virgil’s poetry and the most recent scholarly thought.

    Numerous images of healthy and sick, well formed and malformed human bodies have been passed down from the early modern period. Connecting perspectives from the history of art, medicine, and culture, this richly illustrated volume provides fascinating insights into the forms and strategies of visualization of the period, from anatomy to the plague and syphillis, from castratos and hunchbacks to "Siamese twins."... Zahlreiche Abbildungen von gesunden und kranken, von wohlgestalteten und missgebildeten menschlichen Körpern sind aus der Frühen Neuzeit überliefert. Kunst-, medizin- und kulturgeschichtliche Perspektiven in einem dezidiert interdisziplinär angelegten Unterfangen verknüpfend, bietet dieses Buch faszinierende Einblicke in zeitgenössische Formen und Strategien der Visualisierung des Körpers im zeitlichen Wandel. Das Themenspektrum, das die Autorinnen und Autoren in ihren Beiträgen abhandeln, ist breit. Es reicht von anatomischen Tafeln und dem Vergleich von westlichen und chinesischen anatomischen Illustrationen über medizinische und künstlerische Darstellungen von Pest und Syphilis bis hin zu Bildern von Kastraten, Hinkenden, Buckligen, „siamesischen Zwillingen" und anderen abnormen Körpern. Zahlreiche farbige Abbildungen – von denen etliche hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden – lassen die Lektüre zugleich zu einem eindrucksvollen visuellen Erlebnis werden.

    John Henderson explores three letters of Seneca describing visits to Roman villas, and surveys the whole collection to show how these villas work as designs for contrasting lives. Seneca's own place is ageing drastically; a recent Epicurean's paradise is a seductive oasis away from the dangers of Nero's Rome; once a fortress of the dour Rome of yesteryear, the legendary Scipio's lair was now a shrine to the old morality: Seneca revels in its primitive bath-house, dark and cramped, before exploring the garden with the present owner. Seneca brings the philosophical epistle to Latin literature, creating models for moralizing which feature self-criticism, parody and re-animated myth. Virgil and Horace come in for rough handling, as the Latin moralist wrests ethical practice and writing away from Greek gurus and texts, and into critical thinking within a Roman context. Here is powerful teaching on metaphor and translation, on self-transformation and cultural tradition.

    The first book to look at this particular subject, The Roman Book of Gardening brings together an extraordinarily varied selection of texts on Roman horticulture, celebrating herb and vegetable gardening in verse and prose spanning five centuries. In vivid new translations by John Henderson, Virgil's Georgics stand alongside neglected works by Columella, Pliny and Palladius, bringing to life the techniques and obstacles, delights and exasperations of the Roman gardener. We also hear of the digging, hoeing, planting and weeding which then, as now, went into creating the perfect garden. This is a timely and valuable contribution to our understanding of gardening history, Roman culture and Latin literature.
