The Unity of Plutarch's Work

Resumen del Libro

Libro The Unity of Plutarch's Work

This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's oeuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

Libro Religión, política y ciencia en la obra de César Vallejo

C sar Vallejo is one of the finest poets of Latin America, and his poetry has managed to maintain a broad readership base right up until the modern day. Since Vallejo's posthumous poems were first published in 1939 in an edition supervised by his widow, Georgette de Vallejo, there remain to this day a number of unanswered questions about them. In what order did Vallejo write the poems? Would he have published the poems as they are? This book, by a careful analysis of the evidence available, proposes a new chronology for the posthumous poems, suggesting that the Peruvian poet's work went...

Hombres fatales

Libro Hombres fatales

De las muchas criaturas fabulosas que han poblado la literatura y el cine, la mujer fatal es una de las más recurrentes y proteicas de los dos últimos siglos, si bien forma parte de una antigua estirpe que se remonta hasta la inconstante Helena clásica que motivó la guerra de Troya o la temeraria Eva bíblica que condenó a la humanidad entera. A través del análisis de personajes literarios—de Carmen a Lolita—o cinematográficos—la Madeleine de «Vértigo» y la Conchita de «Ese oscuro objeto del deseo»—, la autora examina el mito de la temible «femme fatale» partiendo de un ...

Libro El desnudo femenino en Ovidio y Manuel Bandeira

RESUMEN: Una comparación entre el poema «Nu» de Manuel Bandeira y «Amores 1.5» de Ovidio muestra semejanzas asombrosas que quedan confi madas en la lectura detallada de ambos y el comentario paralelo. El poema de Ovidio contiene la más hermosa descripción de un desnudo femenino de la literatura latina. Es por eso un texto que representa lo mejor de la Antigüedad. El de Bandeira, tan similar, es un muy bello texto de la literatura brasileña querepresenta lo mejor de la Modernidad. Se confirman la modernidad de Ovidio y la condición de clásico de Bandeira, equiparable a los grandes...
