Surveying so-called Jewish novels, including the Letter of Aristeas, 2 Maccabees, Esther, Daniel, Judith, Tobit, Josephus's account of Alexander's visit to Jerusalem and of the Tobiads, Artapanus, and Joseph and Aseneth, she demonstrates that the use of historical fiction in these texts does not constitute a uniform genre. Instead it cuts across all boundaries of language, provenance, genre, and even purpose. Johnson argues that each author uses historical fiction to construct a particular model of Hellenistic Jewish identity through the reinvention of the past. The models of identity differ, but all seek to explore relations between Jews and the wider non-Jewish world. The author goes on to present a focal in-depth analysis of one text, Third Maccabees. Maintaining that this is a late Hellenistic, not a Roman, work Johnson traces important themes in Third Maccabees within a broader literary context. She evaluates the evidence for the authorship, audience, and purpose of the work and analyzes the historicity of the persecution described in the narrative. Illustrating how the author reinvents history in order to construct his own model for life in the diaspora, Johnson weighs the attitudes and stances, from defiance to assimilation, of this crucial period. 410 0$aHellenistic culture and society ;$v43. 606 $aJews$xHistory$y586 B.C.-70 A.D 606 $aJews$xIdentity$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xHistory 615 0$aJews$xIdentity$xHistory 615 0$aHistorical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a229/.75 700 $aJohnson$b Sara Raup$f1966-$0443429 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456091503321 996 $aHistorical fictions and Hellenistic Jewish identity$986125 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04062nam 2200757 450 001 9910827290103321 005 20231206221301.0 010 $a1-4426-8468-2 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442684683 035 $a(CKB)2430000000002096 035 $a(EBL)4672349 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000382374 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11275657 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000382374 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10394058 035 $a(PQKB)10323938 035 $a(CaBNvSL)slc00222089 035 $a(CaPaEBR)424310 035 $a(DE-B1597)464035 035 $a(OCoLC)1013954766 035 $a(OCoLC)944177128 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442684683 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4672349 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11258019 035 $a(OCoLC)958572325 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/tr6kb1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4672349 035 $a(OCoLC)1320990813 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_104161 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3261246 035 $a(EXLCZ)992430000000002096 100 $a20160923h20072007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPatronage and humanist literature in the age of the Jagiellons $ecourt and career in the writings of Rudolf Agricola Junior, Valentin Eck, and Leonard Cox /$fJacqueline Glomski 205 $a16th ed. 210 1$aToronto, [Ontario] ;$aBuffalo, [New York] ;$aLondon, [England] :$cUniversity of Toronto Press,$d2007. 210 4$dİ2007 215 $a1 online resource (353 p.) 225 0 $aErasmus Studies 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8020-9300-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aPatronage and humanist literature at Cracow, 1510-1530: the careers of Rudolf Agricola junior, Valentin Eck, and Leonard Cox -- Careerism at Cracow: issues of identity and self-promotion -- Hero-making: the image of the great man -- The need for the immediate production of poetry: political propaganda and occasional verse. 330 $aEvery epoch has its artists, thinkers, and creators, and behind many of these people, there is a patron waiting in the wings. Patronage and Humanist Literature in the Age of the Jagiellons looks at the relationship between humanist scholars and their patrons in east central Europe during the early sixteenth century. It is the first study in English specifically to address literary patronage as it existed in this particular time and place. Drawing on the writings of three itinerant scholar-poets associated with the courts of Cracow, Buda, and Vienna, Jacqueline Glomski argues that, even while they supported the imperial pretensions of the Jagiellonian monarchs, the humanist scholars of east central Europe also created effective propaganda for themselves by representing their own role in the conferring of fame upon their patrons. Using a wide array of source material, from dedicatory letters to panegyric and political literature, Glomski describes how important patronage was to the scholar-poets, and analyzes the process by which conventions of Renaissance humanism spread across Europe. Patronage and Humanist Literature in the Age of the Jagiellons is an insightful historic account that is accessible to anyone interested in patronage at the time of the European Renaissance. 606 $aAuthors and patrons$zEurope$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAuthors and patrons$zPoland$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aPoland$2fast 607 $aEurope$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAuthors and patrons$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and patrons$xHistory 676 $a809.024 700 $aGlomski$b Jacqueline L.$f1951-$01689639 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827290103321 996 $aPatronage and humanist literature in the age of the Jagiellons$94064869 997 $aUNINA
