Ennius and the Architecture of the Annales

Autor Jackie Elliott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iun 2016
Ennius' Annales, which is preserved only in fragments, was hugely influential on Roman literature and culture. This book explores the genesis, in the ancient sources for Ennius' epic and in modern scholarship, of the accounts of the Annales with which we operate today. A series of appendices detail each source's contribution to our record of the poem, and are used to consider how the interests and working methods of the principal sources shape the modern view of the poem and to re-examine the limits imposed and the possibilities offered by this ancient evidence. Dr Elliott challenges standard views of the poem, such as its use of time and the disposition of the gods within it. She argues that the manifest impact of the Annales on the collective Roman psyche results from its innovative promotion of a vision of Rome as the primary focus of the cosmos in all its aspects.

'An important focus for future discussions of this fascinating and enigmatic poet.' The Times Literary Supplement

Notă biografică

Jackie is originally from the UK, but she settled on Vancouver Island, Canada in 2004. She's married to Bob, a commercial fisherman and accomplished storyteller - like most fishermen!It was a culture shock to swap a fast-paced city life for Island living. It wasn't at all how Jackie had expected. She was intrigued by the pioneer spirit of their small communities, and the fight to hang on to traditional ways of living. In her experience, small towns 'with a heart' have claws and teeth as well and that makes the perfect back drop for a good murder!When Jackie's not writing, she is gardening, reading, or poking around local museums, looking for inspiration.
