Description

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Throughout Antiquity and the Middle Ages, literature was read with the ear as much as the eye: silent reading was the exception; audible reading the norm. This highly original book shows that Boethius� Consolation of Philosophy�one of the most widely-read texts in Western history�aims to affect the listener through the designs of its rhythmic sound. Stephen Blackwood argues that the Consolation's metres are arranged in patterns that have a therapeutic and liturgical purpose: as a bodily mediation of the text�s consolation, these rhythmic patterns enable the listener to discern the eternal in the motion of time. �The Consolation of Boethius as Poetic Liturgy� vividly explores how in this acoustic encounter with the text philosophy becomes a lived reality, and reading a kind of prayer.
