Ramus and its publisher are linked by the reference to this passage in the Aeneid. For Aeneas, the golden bough (aureus ramus) is the talisman which allows him passage through to the Elysian fields and the promise of understanding; for readers of the Aeneid it is something that itself requires interpretation for an understanding of the poem. This catalogue of books published by Aureal Publications, together with the articles published in Ramus, represents this publisher's contribution to a greater understanding of the culturally seminal works that we know as classical literature.

BOOKS PUBLISHED BY AUREAL PUBLICATIONS
-- in the Ramus Monographs series:
Existentialism and Euripides: Sickness, Tragedy and Divinity in the Medea, the Hippolytus and the Bacchae, by W. Sale (Ramus Monographs 1, 1977).
An examination of what are probably Euripides' three best known plays in the light of theories developed in existential psychoanalysis. This is a profoundly humane study that brings out Euripides' insight into the psychology of human beings and into the gods and demons with which they people their world.

En conjunto, pues, nos parece que éste es un estudio sugerente y discutibile, escrito con claridad y basado en una lectura nueva de los famosos textos trágicos de las tres piezas más interesantes psicológicamente del drama antiguo.

Horace's Lyric Poetry: The Force of Humour, by Peter Connor (Ramus Monographs 2, 1987).
The author sees humour in Horace as 'a positive force of, and in, his engagement with the several ideas and attitudes he explores'. Far from being peripheral or tangential, humour functions as an integral element in the Odes; this analysis of its place in the total experience of reading these poems significantly enhances our perception of !he quality of Horace's achievement.
|
Full of interesting, well-documented and stimulating comments on the Odes.
Journal of Roman Studies
A book which Horatian scholars will generally find worth consulting for a fresh approach to the individual Odes.

Tragic Aporia: A Study of Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis, by C.A.E. Luschnig (Ramus Monographs 3, 1988).
The self-consciously literary nature of this tragedy is well brought out in this study. Aporia in its widest sense, the gulf that exists between myth and reality, is shown to be the unifying element in the play; the only way to bridge this gulf is through the medium of art. Iphigenia's choice, which sets up an ending as startling as any in Euripides, is revealed as ultimately an aesthetic one.

Ovid and the Monuments: A Poet's Rome, by A.J. Boyle (Ramus Monographs 4, 2003).
This book examines the representation of the monuments of the city of Rome by the last of the great Augustan poets, Ovid, who was himself banished from Rome's urban spaces. All Ovid's descriptions of the city's monuments are presented, translated and analysed within a coherent topographical framework. A literary and historical introduction and detailed literary, historical and cultural commentary focus not only on 'factual' matters pertaining to the buildings themselves but on the larger issues of cultural identity, the ideology of place, and poetic and political power. From Ovid's text the physical city emerges both as the embodiment and monumentalisation of past and present and as the site of an intense ideological struggle over the meaning of romanitas or 'Roman-ness'. It should be of interest to all students--literary, historical or archaeological--of Augustan Rome. All Latin and Greek texts are translated.

The Imperial Muse: To Juvenal Through Ovid, edited by A.J. Boyle.
The first of two volumes devoted to Roman literature of the empire, this book version of Ramus Vol. 16 (1987) contains ten essays on authors of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian periods together with an introduction by the editor. As usual, all essays were specially commissioned from experts in their respective fields and reflect a wide range of interests and literary methodology.
|
[The editor] introduces the volume by suggesting the need for a contemporary reassessment of post-Augustan literature. This volume makes a significant contribution towards this goal.
Classical Review
This exciting collection of essays...reinforces the idea that the literature of 1-150 AD, far from being an artificial imitation of the previous age, is steeped in but not at all shackled by tradition and exhibits an artistic excellence uniquely imperial.
The Classical World
Ces essais atteignent leur but qui est de montrer que la littérature impériale n'est pas seulement une littérature de réponse mais aussi une littérature de choc.

|
The editor has once again been remarkably successful in finding contributors who can write sympathetically on their authors.
Classical Review
L'opera interesser?specialmente gli studiosi dell' epica latina, sia per il numero e l'ampiezza dei relativi contributi, sia per la rilevanza dei temi trattati, primo tra tutti il rapporto con la realt?politica e culturale del tempo.

Roman Literature and Ideology: Ramus Essays for J.P. Sullivan, edited by A.J. Boyle.
In addition to ten specially commissioned essays covering a range of Roman literature from Plautus to Juvenal, this volume contains an appreciation of Sullivan's life and work (including a complete list of his publications in classics and other fields) and the text of the first J.P. Sullivan Annual Lecture given by Professor Boyle at the University of Califomia, Santa Barbara, in March 1994. In the theme on which it focuses and in the quality of its contributions, Roman Literature and Ideology constitutes a worthy tribute to one who did so much to further the study of Roman literature.
|
More than most Festschriften , this one evinces a definite consistency, not so much in subject matter...as in critical tenor and theoretical outlook. Its contributors have paid fitting homage to Sullivan.
Bryn Mawr Classical Review
The essays contained in [this book] are too important (and accessible) to be reserved for senior scholars only. My copy has already been liberally borrowed by my undergraduate students...The book is a self-referential sign of the state of at least one major area of classics today, the health of which is indebted in part to Sullivan and other pioneers in the opening up of classical scholarship to the intellectual forces of the late twentieth century.
Greece & Rome
A Festschrift for J.P. Sullivan, and a suitable tribute in its warmth of appreciation and in its willingness to play the edges, take chances, upset the old routine--or even the new.

-- texts and translations
The Eclogues of Virgil, translated with introduction, notes and Latin text by A.J. Boyle.
As stated by the translator in his preface, the primary purpose of this book is to provide an English translation of Virgil's Eclogues (with exegetic notes and a factual and interpretative introduction) suitable for the student of ancient pastoral who has little or no knowledge of Latin. With its line for line correspondence to and accurate rendition of the original, it constitutes an excellent text for use in courses which study classical literature in translation.
|
Boyle's success is remarkable and sets a new standard for the translation of Latin poetry.
Guy Lee
Boyle's rendering must impress upon readers of Latin at all levels the grace and felicity to which translation can attain.
Vergilius
On lira avec plaisir les trente pages d'une introduction bien équilibrée.
