Zeugma
Author: Robert Early
Publisher: John Humphrey
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
In 2000 a major archaeological rescue project took place at Zeugma in order to learn as much as possible about this ancient city before it was flooded by the Birecik Dam. Many of the discoveries, particularly the outstanding mosaics, have stunned the archaeological world and caught the imagination of the general public. This volume publishes the interim reports from this season of excavation, presenting us with a glimpse of some of the discoveries, including Hellenistic and Roman upper-class houses, shops, bathhouses and military structures. Particular attention is paid here to the life-size bronze statue of Mars (complete with silver and gold eyes), inscriptions of Antiochus I of Commagene, the Roman military presence and, of course, the marvellous wall-paintings and mosaics which are presented in colour photographs. Five reports are presented here, one of which is in French. This study provides us with a tantalising glimpse of what is to come.

The Verbal Icon
Author: W.K. Wimsatt
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813185106
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
The sixteen essays in this volume form a series of related focuses upon various levels and areas of literary criticism. W.K. Wimsatt's assumption is that practice and theory of both the past and the present are integrally related-that there is a continuity in the materials of criticism-that a person who studies poetry today has a critical concern, not merely a historical interest, in what Aristotle or Plato said about poetry. He regards the great perennial problems of criticism as arising not by the whim of a tolerantly pluralist choice, but from the nature of language and reality. With profound learning and insight, Wimsatt treats almost the whole range of literary criticism. The first group of essays deals with fallacies he believes are involved in prevalent approaches to the literary object. The next two groups face the responsibilities of the critic who defends literature as a form of knowledge; they treat various problems of structure and style. The last group undertakes to examine the relation of literature to other arts, the relation of evaluative criticism to historical studies, and the relation of literature not only to morals, but more broadly to the whole complex of the Christian religious tradition.
