WILLIAMS, G., Figures of Thought in Roman Poetry. Yale University Press, New Haven / London, 1980. XIII,295p. Cloth. Name as well as author’s dedication on free endpaper. Nice copy. Through close analyses of many poems, Williams shows how poets in the fifty years before Horace’s death exploited metaphor, metonymy, and a third device that he calls thematic anticipation to evoke subtle associations of thought. In doing so he elucidates problems of Latin poems that have been generally misunderstood almost since they day they were written. (Publisher's information). 'This is a challenging, intelligent, and dense book. Opinions about it will vary enormously, for this is much (particularly in the interpretation of individual passages) that is contentious. It should stimulate lively discussion. In practice I think it can be looked at in two ways: as an exposition of theory and as a well-indexed collection of interpretations of individual passages and poems).' (R.O.A.M. LYNE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1981, p.218). From the library of the late Sir Kenneth James Dover. € 22.50 (Antiquarian)
