Description: Why learn to write in a dead language? Because a really good understanding of a language can only be attained by using it actively. Unlike earlier textbooks aimed at schoolboys, this work addresses modern adults who want to understand concepts fully as they learn. Drawing on recent scholarship where appropriate and assuming no prior background except some reading knowledge of Greek, the course combines a structured review of paradigms and vocabulary with clear and comprehensive explanations of the rules of Greek syntax. Large numbers of exercises are provided, both with and without key: a complete set of cumulative exercises and another set of non-cumulative exercises for those who prefer to dip into specific sections. The exercises include, as well as English sentences and paragraphs for translation, Greek sentences and passages for translation, analysis, and manipulation. A full English-Greek vocabulary and list of principal parts are included. Waterstones An Introduction to the Composition and Analysis of Greek Prose - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Part 1 gives guidance and practice exercises for the new sentences required at GCSE, while Parts 2 and 3 contain a series of chapters of grammatical introduction and exercises for translation into Latin leading up to A Level and Pre-U.

Waterstones Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition

Price: £28.99

Brand: Waterstones

Description: This frequently reprinted volume is the 'sine qua non' for all who would attempt to write faultless classical Latin Prose. It is impressively detailed in explaining syntactical nuances, in its exemplification and in the range of its exercises (sentences and continuous proses) than any other successive prose composition text books. The original version by Thomas Kerchever Arnold was so thoroughly revised by G.G. Bradley, Master of Marlborough, later master of University College, Oxford, and Dean of Westminster, that it became commonly known as 'Bradley's Arnold'. In 1938, J.F. Mountford, who was Professor of Latin at the University of Liverpool, with a team of eminent young classicists (including Stanley Bonner and Frank Walbank) undertook a further ongoing revision and added the appendix of 125 passages for continuous prose composition. Mountford's 'Bradley's Arnold' remains an essential sourcebook. Waterstones Bradley's Arnold Latin Prose Composition - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Waterstones Critical Essays, Volume I

Price: £24.95

Brand: Waterstones

Description: A master of ancient Greek prose styles. Dionysius of Halicarnassus had migrated to Rome by 30 BC, where he lived until his death some time after 8 BC, writing his Roman Antiquities and teaching the art of rhetoric and literary composition. Dionysius' purpose, both in his own work and in his teaching, was to re-establish the classical Attic standards of purity, invention, and taste in order to reassert the primacy of Greek as the literary language of the Mediterranean world. He advocated the minute study of the styles of the finest prose authors of the fifth and fourth centuries BC, especially the Attic orators. His critical essays on these and on the historian Thucydides represent an important development from the somewhat mechanical techniques of rhetorical handbooks to a more sensitive criticism of individual authors. Illustrating his analysis with well-chosen examples, Dionysius preserves a number of important fragments of Lysias and Isaeus. The essays on those two orators and on Isocrates, Demosthenes, and Thucydides comprise Volume I of this edition. Volume II contains three letters to his students; a short essay on the orator Dinarchus; and his finest work, the essay On Literary Composition, which combines rhetoric, grammar, and criticism in a manner unique in ancient literature. The Loeb Classical Library also publishes a seven-volume edition of Roman Antiquities, by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, a history from earliest times to 264 BC.

Waterstones An Introduction to Greek Art

Price: £23.99

Brand: Waterstones

Description: The four centuries between the composition of the Homeric epics and the conquests of Alexander the Great witnessed an immensely creative period in Greek art, one full of experimentation and innovation. But time has taken its toll; damaged statues have lost their colour and wall paintings have been totally destroyed. And yet sympathetic study of surviving sculpture and of drawing on vases can give extraordinary insight into and appreciation of these once brilliant works This book, designed originally for students, introduces the reader to Greek sculpture and vase painting in the critical period from the eighth to the fourth centuries BC. The works discussed are generously illustrated and lucidly analysed to give a vivid picture of the splendor of Greek art. The up-dated second edition includes a new chapter examining art in Greek society, a timeline to help relate artistic development to historical events, an explanation of how dates BC are arrived at, a brief overview of Greek temple plans and a further reading list of recent books. This clear, approachable and rigorous introduction makes the beauty of Greek art more readily accessible and comprehensible, balancing description with interpretation and illustration, and is an invaluable tool to help develop insight, appreciation and comprehension.
