Catullus And His World written by Timothy Peter Wiseman and has been published by Cambridge University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1987 with History categories.

This book is an attempt to read the poems of Gaius Valerius Catullus in his own context; to look at the poet and his works against the cultural realities of the first century BC as recent advances in historical research allow us to understand them. Catullus' own social background, the circumstances of the literary life of his time, the true extent of his works and the variety of audiences he addressed - these and other questions are explored by Professor Wiseman with new and startling results. Contemporary high society and politics are illustrated through Clodia and Caelius Rufus, considered not as mere adjuncts to Catullus' story but as significant historical personalities in their own right. A final chapter on nineteenth- and twentieth-century interpretations of Catullus' world shows how anachronistic preconceptions have prevented a proper understanding of it, and made this radical reappraisal necessary. Anyone with a serious interest in Latin literature or Roman history will want to read this book. Students in the upper levels of school or at university will find it essential background reading to their work on Catullus and Cicero's Pro Caelio.

In "The Poems and Fragments of Catullus," the Roman poet Gaius Valerius Catullus artfully manifests the depth of human emotion through a collection of roughly 116 poems, ranging from passionate love sonnets to biting invectives. Written in a vibrant and dynamic style that defies the conventions of his time, Catullus's work transcends mere lyrical beauty, exhibiting a profound understanding of the complexities of love, friendship, and betrayal. His use of innovative meter and form, coupled with personal and often raw subject matter, situates his poetry firmly within the context of contemporary Roman literature while also revealing the intimate struggles of the poet himself. The fragments that remain further highlight the transient nature of art and emotion, echoing sentiments that remain relevant through the ages. Catullus, often regarded as a pivotal figure in the evolution of lyric poetry, lived during the late Roman Republic, a period marked by social and political upheaval. His own tumultuous personal relationships, particularly with Lesbia, have influenced his work, imbuing it with authenticity and emotional impact. The poet's defiance against societal norms and his candid exploration of intimacy, combined with a rich literary heritage from earlier Greek poets, make his writings not just a personal journey but also an exploration of universal themes. For scholars and casual readers alike, "The Poems and Fragments of Catullus" is a compelling read that invites reflection on the timelessness of human emotion. Its vivid imagery and candid lyrics challenge readers to confront their own experiences of love and loss. With each poem, Catullus offers a glimpse into the tumultuous world of his heart, making this collection an indispensable contribution to the canon of Western literature.

A vivid and musical rendering of the poetry of Catullus, whose passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries "Catullus's verses still ring true, reminding readers that the habits of the heart haven't changed in millennia."--Publishers Weekly 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. 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. 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."

This book applies comparative cultural and literary models to a reading of Catullus' poems as social performances of a 'poetics of manhood': a competitively, often outrageously, self-allusive bid for recognition and admiration. Earlier readings of Catullus, based on Romantic and Modernist notions of 'lyric' poetry, have tended to focus on the relationship with Lesbia and to ignore the majority of the shorter poems, which are instead directed at other men. Professor Wray approaches these poems in the light of more recent models for understanding male social interaction in the premodern Mediterranean, placing them in their specifically Roman historical context while bringing out their strikingly 'postmodern' qualities. The result is an alternative way of reading the fiercely aggressive and delicately refined agonism performed in Catullus' shorter poems. All Latin and Greek quoted is supplied with an English translation.

Statues of the god Priapus stood in Roman gardens to warn potential thieves that the god would rape them if they attempted to steal from him. In this book, Richlin argues that the attitude of sexual aggressiveness in defense of a bounded area serves as a model for Roman satire from Lucilius to Juvenal. Using literary, anthropological, psychological, and feminist methodologies, she suggests that aggressive sexual humor reinforces aggressive behavior on both the individual and societal levels, and that Roman satire provides an insight into Roman culture. Including a substantial and provocative new introduction, this revised edition is important not only as an in-depth study of Roman sexual satire, but also as a commentary on the effects of all humor on society and its victims.
