Ovid: Ars Amatoria, Book III
Author: Ovid
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521813709
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 8
Book Description
This is a full-scale commentary devoted to the third book of Ovid's Ars Amatoria. It includes an Introduction, a revision of E. J. Kenney's Oxford text of the book, and detailed line-by-line and section-by-section commentary on the language and ideas of the text. Combining traditional philological scholarship with some of the concerns of more recent critics, both Introduction and commentary place particular emphasis on: the language of the text; the relationship of the book to the didactic, 'erotodidactic' and elegiac traditions; Ovid's usurpation of the lena's traditional role of erotic instructor of women; the poet's handling of the controversial subjects of cosmetics and personal adornment; and the literary and political significances of Ovid's unexpected emphasis in the text of Ars III on restraint and 'moderation'. The book will be of interest to all postgraduates and scholars working on Augustan poetry.

The European Roman D’Analyse
Author: Adele Kudish
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501352229
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Through close readings of a selection of European novels and novellas written between 1340 and 1827, this study of "analytical fiction" examines how unconsummated love stories probe the frailty of self-knowledge. Tracing elements of what the French call the roman d'analyse in the works of Boccaccio, Marguerite de Navarre, Cervantes, Marie de Lafayette, Samuel Richardson, Jane Austen, and Stendhal, Adele Kudish discusses how the metaphor of unconsummated love is deployed to represent a fundamental lack of insight into the self. Rather than depicting the mind as transparent, analytical fiction deals in the opacity of the mind. Narrators and characters are faced with deception, misprision, doubt, and confusion, leading to self-deception, jealousy, and crises of self. The European Roman d'Analyse reads such epistemological failures as symptoms of a more fundamental preoccupation with the human psyche as un-chartable and bizarre. In this way, the authors of romans d'analyse enact a larger philosophical project: an anatomy of the psyche wherein we are unable-or unwilling-to know ourselves.

"Gold Winner" E-Lit Award (Multicultural Fiction), "Bronze Winner" IPPY Award (Best Adult Fiction E-Book), "Finalist" Foreword Review Book of the Year (Multicultural Fiction), "Three Finalist Awards "Next Generation Indie Book Contest (General Fiction, E-Book Fiction, and Chick Lit). Finalist IndieExcellence (Multicultural) and International Book Awards (Best New Fiction) Sex, Sauna, and Sisu. Sisu is the classic Finnish quality of fortitude, grit, and often-foolish stubbornness that drives thirty-three-year-old Alina Eskala through a ribald summer of love and woe. Sex? Since the death of her parents and the alarming clang of her biological clock, sensuous Alina desires a man and baby-family. As a constant reminder, her best friend Meredith has an adorable toddler with Alina's ex-boyfriend (causing inescapable skirmishes with her ex). Sauna? Any story permeated with the unique East-meets-West Finnish culture, history, and wisdom-"If tar, liquor and sauna do not help, the disease is fatal"-must include Finland's national past time and sacred cleansing ritual. Sex, sauna and sisu stir up a crazy stew when an unknown Finnish "cousin" and his hot friend suddenly barge into Alina's quiet Silicon Valley life. In a robust but bumbling quest for love and belonging, Alina tolerates her outspoken cousin and pursues his alluring friend-while plagued by repressed grief, mind-boggling headaches, wacky dates, and some truly tragic hair days. Cultures clash and passions peak as the ever-blunt Finns mix with Meredith's family, Alina's new neighbors, her over-sexed friend Cleopatra and more, resulting in a summer of surprising romantic entanglements. From an exclusive, historic enclave in Northern California and the stunning Yosemite Valley to Helsinki and the remote waterside cottages of Finland, Alina's award-winning search for family is both an exploration of unknown Finland and the exploration of an unknown self. ""FROM FINLAND WITH LOVE is studded with stunning descriptive prose about the American and Finnish landscape which had me yearning to go. I also loved learning about the Finnish culture which is described so beautifully. The inevitable disasters had me cringing and giggling in equal measures and despite her numerous mistakes, I never stopped rooting for Alina.""-Nikki Mason, BestChickLit.com ""A wonderful, rich and funny book packed with engaging characters, witty dialogue, tender moments and indelible scenes filled with sweetness and longing, mishaps and misunderstandings, all told with a distinctive Finnish flare... and if you're at all curious what that means, you absolutely, positively have to read FROM FINLAND WITH LOVE.""-Tom Parker, author of Anna, Ann, Annie: A Novel ""FROM FINLAND WITH LOVE swept me away. I was on board and fully engaged from the very first scene to its satisfying ending. Alanko writes with humor and grace, deftly weaving moments of poignancy and longing with madcap antics and sparkling dialogue. Alina is an unforgettable character and the supporting cast of characters is rich, varied and utterly original. I highly recommend this book.""-Vicky Mlyniec, Award-winning writer and editor
