Full textThe intent of this thesis is to examine the stylistics of Latin epic narrative as used to narrate and describe extended battle sequences, and to explore the way in which Latin authors working during the Augustan Era engaged with Homeric techniques of oral narrative while composing written epic. A total of six extended battle sequences from the Aeneid of Virgil and the Metamorphoses of Ovid are examined and analysed with regard to their use of word order, simile, catalogue, and other such stylistic features. The overall aim is to consider Ovid’s literary debt to his immediate epic predecessor Virgil, together with the debt of both poets to Ancient Greek epic narrative, in such a way as to explore the various techniques of generic allusivity practised by both poets on a stylistic level. The first chapter provides a brief overview of Homeric technique, defines the distinction between primary and secondary epic, and serves as an introduction to Virgilian and Ovidian concerns. The second chapter contains analysis of Virgil’s Aeneid. Battle sequences from Book 2, Book 9, and Book 10 are examined and discussed from a stylistic perspective, and the extent to which Virgil has drawn on and reformulated Homeric epic technique is established. Book 2 is examined for the manner in which it engages with and reconstructs Homeric ideals of heroism. Book 9, constituting as it does the first instance within the second half of the Aeneid of Homeric battle narrative, is analysed as a transitional episode, and its motifs of literary and cultural inheritance discussed. Book 10 provides an extended example of Homeric battle narrative. The third chapter engages with Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Extracts of notably epic tone from Book 5, Book 8, Book 12 are discussed in such a way as to highlight their literary allusivity, and in particular their contrast with the Virgilian model of adapting epic technique. Book 5 is examined as an introductory example of extended Ovidian battle narrative. The analysis of Book 8 demonstrates how epic narrative may be enriched by the intrusion of alternate poetic genres. Book 12 is contrasted with Book 2 of the Aeneid, and the manner in which it, too, engages with Homeric ideals of heroism, is discussed. The thesis concludes that while both poets utilised and expanded upon specific stylistic elements of Greek epic narrative, they did so in a notably different fashion. Ovid contrasts sharply with his predecessor Virgil and often incorporates elements of alternate genres in order to establish his own allusive technique.

Full textThis piece of work intends to bring the long unknown work by Virgil C. Gheorghiu to light. Among the subjects likely to appeal to the attention of the reader and the researcher, this components of "écritures du moi" - autobiography, evidence, memoirs, novel - can be useful tools for the creator who proudly intends to build and rebuild his life and personality which are threatened to be misunderstood or underestimated by his contemporaries. The limits between autobiography and related styles become vague since the author uses each of the components of "écritures du moi" to achieve his goal. The technics which induce and feed this subject are dealt with in order to show the importance of this literary style for Virgil C. Gheorghiu, this exile in quest of his roots. The subject is dealt with in the context of French and universal literature

Full textThe challenge raised by exile’s literature nowadays is not only to become familiar with it. Our main purpose should be now to synchronize this literature, impressive in size, with the artistic creation from Romania, briefly to find a common literary canon. The writers subjected to analyze -Vintilă Horia, Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu and L. M. Arcade – created their literary work based on the notion of exile. The authors applied this notion to other domains and came to the conclusion that it represents the leading feature of 20th century man. One of the main purposes of this thesis is to find common elements in the literary work of three Romanian writers (Horia, Vintila and Arcade) for whom the feeling of alienation from their own country represents a sign of tragic existence; my other goal aims to establish a connection between the evolution of the literature written abroad and the one subjected to the rigors of the communist regime, considering the criterion of the creation period

No Brasil oitocentista, além do desenvolvimento de uma literatura preocupada em pensar os elementos nacionais, é possível identificar a tradução dos clássicos com objetivo de instruir a sociedade letrada. Manuel Odorico Mendes foi significativo para esse movimento, optando pela tradução e emulação de Virgílio e Homero a fim de utilizá-los como ferramenta para um projeto político-pedagógico de formação. O maranhense foi o primeiro tradutor integral dos poetas latino e grego no Brasil e desenvolveu pequenos ensaios com considerações teóricas e historiográficas, ainda que não de forma sistemática, sobre a língua portuguesa, a tradução e os antigos. Suas notas são um ato de linguagem que, em conjunto com o material traduzido, podem ser entendidas como um manual de instrução para os letrados do novo cenário do Brasil do século XIX.

His notes are an act of language that, together with the translated material, can be understood as an instruction manual for the literates of the new scenario of nineteenth century in Brazil.

Full textSelf-translation represents a special situation in the field of literature. We have to do, as in the case of Miron Kiropol, Ilie Constantin and Virgil Tanase we have focused on in our present study, with bilingual authors who translated their works by their own. The analysis is preceded by a general view of the Romanian diaspora in France, specific observations concerning bilingualism and a survey of the main features of self-translation. Finally, our last chapter contains a basic dictionary of translation theory terms. The three writers' self translated works underwent important modifications when turning from one language into another, going up to re-writing or re-creating the work. By contrasting their original works with their foreign double we manage to evaluate the dimensions and nature of the discrepancies to be found between the source text (the starting one) and the target one

Full textPaul Bowles and His Early Mentors presents soundly edited, contextually annotated, and mostly unpublished letters, notes, and postcards from Paul Bowles to Gertrude Stein, Aaron Copland, and Virgil Thomson. Influenced by the life-in-letters convention, it tells a story of Bowles's life from his letters to three of his principal mentors; it also serves as a rumination on Bowles's place among other writers in his generation and in the historical tradition of American expatriate writing. The sampling of letters accounts for Bowles's development as a writer by focusing on a period of time (1930 to 1943) when nevertheless he thought of himself primarily as a composer. Of the 140 letters contained in this collection, only 36 have been published. As a result it serves to strengthen the nexus between literaty, musical, and biographical studies of Bowles. The first three chapters consist of Bowles's early career, when his chief concerns were travel and artistic expression. This period constitutes the body of this edition, as it provides a thorough study of an important period in his life. Toward the end of the second chapter we see the emergence of Thomson as a stronger mentor than Stein and Copland. The third chapter has Bowles meeting his future wife Jane, and then their early adventures together. The concluding sections (Interim and Coda) are supplementary meditations: the Interim culminates with Bowles's settling in Tangier, and his literary success with The Sheltering Sky and The Delicate Prey and Other Stories; the Coda includes a sampling of letters to Thomson from 1955 to 1983. This volume contributes to Bowles scholarship by not only making available unpublished letters to a few prominent correspondents, but also by revealing some under-appreciated and undocumented details that will allow us to make judgments as to competing interpretations about Bowles's life and work. The essence of this edition is the arc of true friendship and the dynamics of mentorship, and the mutual appreciation among geniuses remains a force in the study of his letters.
