Sommario/riassunto |
|
""Rome and the Literature of Gardens" explores the garden as a powerful locus of transformation and transgression in the "De Re Rustica" of Columella, the "Satires" of Horace, the "Annals" of Tacitus, and the "Confessions" of Saint Augustine. In keeping with the approach of this series, a concluding chapter examines the reincarnation of these expressions in the contemporary plays "Arcadia" and "The Invention of Love" by Tom Stoppard. Many books on gardens in ancient Rome concentrate on either technical agricultural manuals, or pastoral poetry, or the physical remains of Roman gardens. Instead, this book considers images of gardens from a kaleidoscope of genres, especially those that the Romans made their own: satire, annalistic history, and autobiography. This atypical approach makes a unique contribution to the field of Latin literature and garden history, bridging the gap between material culture and cultural history."--Bloomsbury Publishing |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Whether a work transposes or transforms empirical data, displaces or conceals it, goes beyond or transfigures it, it is worthy of study in relation to its tangible conditions of possibility. Claude Simon’s novels |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are studied here in the light of literary history, cultural history and the sociology of literature, which provide a new angle on this major author and Nobel Prize winner in 1985.The author’s writing choices or spontaneous alterations make sense in terms of the system of constraints and motivations in which they exist, in this case all the possible aesthetics and ethics of the literary, artistic, intellectual and political context of the second half of the 20th century. |
