RUTHERFORD, I., Canons of Style in the Antonine Age. Idea-Theory and its Literary Context. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1998. VIII,168p. Gilt tiled cloth with dust wrps. 'This monograph studies the relationship between 'idea' theory in Hermogenes' 'Peri ideon' and the anonymous 'Peri aphelous logou', and the prose literature of the Second Sophistic. Rutherford offers a well-grounded study of the detailed articulation of theory in practice. (...) This slim volume offers much to students of the Second Sophistic. It illustrates well how literary critical thought changed in response to developments in oratory, drawing upon but transmuting earlier commonplaces. R. shows how the choice of model orators and speeches was actually more integrated than previously recognized with contemporary political and literary concerns. Far from being yet another traditional piece of unworldly literary criticism, Hermogenes is firmly situated in his cultural environment.'

RUTHERFORD, R., Homer 2nd Edition. Cambridge University Press, 2013. 174p. Paperback. Series: New Surveys in the Classics, 41. This is a revised and updated version of the survey on Homer which the author originally published in 1996. It provides a wide variety of readers with a clear and detailed introduction to the Iliad and the Odyssey, and to the problems which arise in dating, contextualising and interpreting these two epics, which are among the earliest poetic texts to come down to us from the ancient Greek world. A substantial introductory chapter discusses the so-called Homeric Question, the question of the identity and origins of 'Homer'. Among the important topics considered are the debate over oral composition, the structure, plot and themes of the two epics, and the religious and ethical ideas which figure in the poems; also discussed are characterisation, speeches, similes, symbolism and irony. An extensive bibliography gives expert guidance on these and many other aspects of these extraordinary poems. (Publisher's information). € 25.48 (New) (MD)

RUTHERFORD, R.B., Greek Tragic Style. Form, Language and Interpretation. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2014. 1st paperback edition. XIX,471p. Paperback. An exhaustive study of Greek tragic style could, potentially, fill thousands of pages. R. does not claim to be offering an exhaustive or comprehensive account, merely 'an exploration'. (...) R. not only offers a sober, lucid account of the principal features of tragic form and language, but he also directs the novice (...) to other authoritative accounts. (...) The value of R.'s work lies in the fact that it puts its finger decisively on many important topics and provides ample stimulus for further debate. Its clarity and rigour of presentation are hard to fault, its discussions of individual passges are satisfyingly complex and thoughtful, and above all is a timely reminder of the importance treating tragedy as poetry.'
