    Narrative and the everyday: myth, image, sign, icon, life -- The development of byt in nineteenth-century Russian literature -- Enacting the present: Chekhov, art and the everyday -- Fedor Sologub's aesthetics of narrative excess -- The struggle with byt in Belyi's Kotik Letaev and the christened chinaman -- Breaking the circle of the self: Vasilii Rozanov's discourse of pure intimacy -- At the "I" of the storm: the iconic self in Remizov's whirlwind Russia. This book explores the unique way in which Russian culture constructs the notion of everyday life, or byt, and offers the first unified reading of Silver-age narrative which it repositions at the centre of Russian modernism. Drawing on semiotics and theology, Stephen C. Hutchings argues that byt emerged from a dialogue between two traditions, one reflected in western representational aesthetics for which daily existence figures as neutral and normative, the other encapsulated in the Orthodox emphasis on iconic embodiment. Hutchings identifies early 'Decadent' formulations of byt as a milestone after which writers from Chekhov to Rozanov sought to affirm the iconic potential hidden in Russian realism's critique of representationalism. Provocative, yet careful, textual analyses reveal a consistent urge to redefine art's function as one not of representing life, but of transfiguring the everyday

    A collection of fourteen essays by influential scholars on the `Attic Orators', the ten or so speechwriters who developed rhetoric in democratic Athens from c.420 to c.320 BC. All Greek quotations have been translated. - ;The `Attic Orators' have left us a hundred speeches for lawsuits, a body of work that reveals an important connection between evolving rhetoric and the jury trial. The essays in this volume explore that formative linkage, representing the main directions of recent work on the Orators: the emergence of technical manuals and ghost-written speeches for prospective litigants; the technique for adapting documentary evidence to common-sense notions about probable motives and typical characters; and profiling the jury as the ultimate arbiter of values. An Introduction by the editor explores the speechwriter's art in terms of the imagined community. Four essays appear in English here for the first time, and all Greek has been translated The written plea of the logographer / Marius Lavency -- Lysias and his clients / Stephen Usher -- Who was Corax? / Thomas Cole -- Adultery by the book : Lysias 1 (On the murder of Eratosthenes) and comic diēgēsis / John R.
