Bücher von Lowell Edmunds

Offers a detailed study of a single poem - Horace's Odes 1.9, often called "The Soracte Ode" after the mountain named in its second line. Lowell Edmunds is the first scholar to apply developments in literary theory from outside the field of classics to a discussion of the ode. Specifically, he uses Hans Robert Jauss's essay on Baudelaire's "Spleen (II)" as a model for his study.

Lowell Edmunds combines two readings of the "Oedipus at Colonus" to arrive at a fresh way of looking at Greek tragedy. He sets forth a semiotic theory of theatrical space and then applies his theory to the visual and spacial dimensions of the "Oedipus at Colonus".
