Images for Classicists
Images for Classicists shows how text and image taken together complicate and enrich our understanding of ancient culture. Working to dissolve distinctions between text- and artifact-based scholarship, it explores challenges the digital revolution poses to curators and sketches ways that image-based collections may be deployed in the future.
Dictionary Of British Classicists
The dictionary contains over 700 entries, covering not only major classical scholars, but also minor and neglected figures (such as schoolteachers and publishers) who helped sustain British Classics. The individuals included have mostly been born, educated and made their careers in the British Isles. However, others are included who were born and educated elsewhere but whose careers were pursued in Britain. The term ‘classicist' applies to individuals who contributed in any way to the study of Graeco-Roman culture, or to its organization and propagation. Each entry gives the reader a glimpse of the individual's life, publications and contributions to Classics through other activities such as teaching, organization or administration. Bibliographical pointers to further research are given and each entry is written in an accessible style, without the use of unnecessary scholarly terminology.
Classics and Classicists
This collection of articles published between 1964 and 2000 represents a panoramic view of Greek and Roman literature and philosophy, ranging from detailed discussions of texts to general literary and philosophical issues. It also delves into problems in the transmission of ancient works and their reception in modern contexts, including modern English literature. These articles will appeal mainly to Classical scholars and students of ancient philosophy, as well as to lovers of literature and of the intellectual history of Western Europe. All articles have been republished in their original form, with an emphasis on basing every discussion firmly on the available evidence.
Classics
Books like The Closing of the American Mind and debates like the one over the Stanford reading list have called for reconsideration of the role of the Greek and Roman classics in American education. This collection meets that challenge by offering classicists of divergent viewpoints the opportunity to rethink Classics as a discipline. Contents: The State of the Classics; Classics as a Profession; Classics as an Academic Discipline; and The Classics Community.
Biographical Dictionary of North American Classicists
While European scholarship in the Classics has a long and established tradition, very little has been written on the history of classical scholarship in North America. By providing profiles of some 600 North American Classicists, this reference book presents a starting point for defining the history of Classical scholarship in Canada and the United States. Included are those Classicists who made significant contributions to the field and those who are representative figures. The people profiled were either born in the United States or Canada, or were born in other countries but had careers in North America. They were either founding fathers of the profession, scholars known more for their specialized contributions, or members of smaller or remote institutions who achieved at least regional distinction for their work. The first part of each entry provides basic biographical and professional information. A narrative summary of the person's career follows, and each profile closes with a short bibliography. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order and were written by expert contributors.
Three Classicists
This catalogue accompanies a major exhibition being held during May 2010 at the Royal Institute of British Architects in London of drawings and work by Ben Pentreath, George Saumarez Smith and Francis Terry. Each of the Three Classicists has contributed three essays conveying their personal observations on architecture along with beautiful illustrations of their work in sketches, presentation drawings and photographs. The catalogue also includes a foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales, an introduction by the architectural historian Ruth Guilding, and an afterword by Hank Dittmar, Chief Executive of the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment.
The Methods of the Gernet Classicists (RLE Myth)
The Gernet Centre was founded as a place where the structural method could be applied to the classics. ‘Structuralists’ attribute the survival, origin and function of myths to common crosscultural factors they identify as ‘structures’. As this book, first published as The Structuralists on Myth in 1992 explains, these structures are bundles of information not obvious either to the narrator or to the listener. The bundles are collected features that reveal either the reasons for the survival of myths, or their origins, or their functions within their contexts. The structuralists consider themselves to have talents as the collectors from myths of these bundles of information.
New classicists: Appleton & Associates Architects
"Appleton & Associates Architects features a selection of projects by the firm, including a working olive ranch in California, a grand estate in Los Angeles inspired by a Renaissance Tuscan-style villa, a quintessential 'Hollywood' house that includes a glamorous pool pavilion and of course a superb staircase to make the all-important entrance, and a writer's pavilion in Connecticut that would charm any writer."--BOOK JACKET.
