    This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection explores different ways of visualising Greek and Roman epic from Homer to Statius, in both ancient and modern culture. The book presents new perspectives on Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, Valerius Flaccus and Statius, and covers the re-working of epic matter in tragedy, opera, film, late antique speeches of praise, story-boarding, sculpture and wall-painting. The chapters use a variety of methods to address the relationship between narrative and visuality, exploring how and why epic has inspired artists, authors and directors and offering fresh visual interpretations of epic texts. Themes and issues discussed include: intermediality, ekphrasis and panegyric, illusion and deception, imagery and deferral, alienation and involvement, the multiplicity of possible visual responses to texts, three-dimensionality, miniaturisation, epic as cultural capital, and the specificity of genres, both literary and visual

    "Shakespeare's most famous props have become transhistorical, transnational metonyms for their plays: a strawberry-spotted handkerchief instantly recalls Othello; a skull, Hamlet. This book reveals the cognitive impact of Shakespeare's props. Departing from the longstanding tendency to conceptualise props as detachable body parts, this monograph argues for props as detachable parts of the mind. Through props, Shakespeare's characters reveal their own cognition and intervene in the cognition of other characters, illuminating and extending their affect. Shakespeare's props are neither static icons nor substitutes for the body, but volatile, malleable, and dangerously exposed extensions of his characters' minds. Recognising them as such offers new readings of the plays, from the way memory becomes a weapon in Hamlet's Elsinore, to the pleasures and perils of Early Modern gift culture in Othello. The book illuminates Shakespeare's exploration of extended cognition, recollection and remembrance at a time when the growth of printing was forcing Renaissance culture to rethink the relationship between memory and the object. Readings in Shakespearean stage history, drawing on much unpublished archival material, reveal how props illuminate cultural priorities: while some props accrue cultural memories, others decay and are forgotten as detritus of the stage"--

    Objects Observed explores the central place given to the object by a number of poets in France and in America in the twentieth century. John C. Stout provides comprehensive examinations of Pierre Reverdy, Francis Ponge, Jean Follain, Guillevic, and Jean Tortel. Stout argues that the object furnishes these poets with a catalyst for creating a new poetics and for reflecting on lyric as a genre. In France, the object has been central to a broad range of aesthetic practices, from the era of Cubism and Surrealism to the 1990s. In the heyday of American Modernism, several major poets foregrounded the object in their work; however, in postwar twentieth-century America, poets moved away from a focus on the object. Objects Observed illuminates the variety of aesthetic practices and positions in French and American poets from the years of high Modernism (1909–1930) to the 1990s

    Was ist ein Werk? So verschieden die Gegenstände auch sind, die wir als Werke zu bezeichnen pflegen – literarische und musikalische Werke zum Beispiel, aber auch Erfindungen oder Gegenstände der Alltagskultur –, in ontologischer Hinsicht weisen sie wesentliche Gemeinsamkeiten auf. Worin diese Gemeinsamkeiten bestehen, welche Arten von Werken es gibt und worin deren jeweilige Eigenheit besteht, klärt dieses Buch. Ohne die Kategorie der Autorschaft, so zeigt sich dabei, lässt sich gar nicht verstehen, was ein Werk gegenüber anderen Entitäten auszeichnet.

    Jean Arnold explores the role material objects play in the cultural cohesion of the West, arguing that gems symbolized the most closely held beliefs of the Victorians and thus can be considered "prisms of culture." Her close readings of works by Wilkie Collins, George Eliot, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Anthony Trollope show jewels turned into symbols of power, personal relationships, and valued ideas that serve to bind the materialist culture together

    This wide-ranging, interdisciplinary collection explores different ways of visualising Greek and Roman epic from Homer to Statius, in both ancient and modern culture. The book presents new perspectives on Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Lucan, Valerius Flaccus and Statius, and covers the re-working of epic matter in tragedy, opera, film, late antique speeches of praise, story-boarding, sculpture and wall-painting. The chapters use a variety of methods to address the relationship between narrative and visuality, exploring how and why epic has inspired artists, authors and directors and offering fresh visual interpretations of epic texts. Themes and issues discussed include: intermediality, ekphrasis and panegyric, illusion and deception, imagery and deferral, alienation and involvement, the multiplicity of possible visual responses to texts, three-dimensionality, miniaturisation, epic as cultural capital, and the specificity of genres, both literary and visual Seeing in the dark: kleos, tragedy, and perception in Iliad / Jon Hesk -- Operatic visions: Berlioz stages Virgil / Helen Lovatt -- Visualizing Venus: epiphany and anagnorisis in Valerius Flaucus' Argonautica / Emma Buckley -- The look of the late antique emperor and the art of praise / Roger Rees -- Intermediality in Latin epic: en video quaecumque audita / Martin T.
