The Grotesque in Roman Love Elegy Mariapia Pietropaolo | McMaster University, Ontario

The Resurrection of Homer in Imperial Greek Epic Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Posthomerica and the Poetics of Impersonation Emma Greensmith | University of Oxford

The first literary and cultural reading of Quintus Smyrnaeus’ Posthomerica, a major Greek epic from the height of the Roman Empire which tells the story ‘in between’ Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, and reveals the aesthetic and identity politics of the era. Important for understanding Homer and epic in Greco-Roman culture.

• Provides a literary and cultural-historical analysis of the Posthomerica, which has too often fallen outside of contextualized study due to a lack of precise information about its providence • Connects Quintus’ Posthomerica with a far wider range of ancient literature: not only poetry but also (and unlike previous scholarship) prose historiography, rhetoric, educational papyri; and not only Greek, but also Latin • Moves away from the individualized study of imperial Greek authors to a joined-up understanding of this era of epic as a corpus engaging dialogically with the same issues of empire and cultural change

Oppian’s Halieutica Charting a Didactic Epic Emily Kneebone | University of Nottingham

Aileen R. Das | University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

In Menexenus Plato depicts an elderly Socrates reciting an inspiring funeral oration learned from his teacher Aspasia, although such a scenario is entirely fictional. The work reveals Plato’s mastery of prose style and his critique of rhetoric and democratic ideology. Suitable for intermediate and advanced students of ancient Greek.

• Integrates literary, rhetorical, and historical discussion and comments in order to show how Plato uses rhetorical means to misrepresent and distort historical reality • Provides grammatical help for students as well as introducing techniques of discourse analysis • Helps students appreciate the radically divergent interpretations of the text proposed by scholars

Explores the Timaeus’ impact on pre-modern Greek and Arabic conceptualizations of medicine and will appeal to classicists, medievalists, and historians of philosophy, science, and the Middle East. Its five case studies examine how thinkers such as Galen and Avicenna used Plato’s dialogue to define their expertise and professional identities.

• Explores diverse historical contexts in assessing Galen’s impact on medieval Arabic readings of Plato’s Timaeus • Promotes a reception-based approach to the study of Greco-Roman texts and ideas in medieval Islamic, Christian, and Jewish contexts • Employs methodologies from Science, Technology and Society Studies (STS) to examine how Plato’s Timaeus provoked new ways of thinking about knowledge categories

Pseudo-Aristotle: De Mundo (On the Cosmos) A Commentary Edited by Pavel Gregoric | Institute of Philosophy in Zagreb, Croatia

De mundo is a protreptic to philosophy and a work of both cosmology and theology, inspired by Aristotle. It is unique in presenting both a scientific explanation of the universe and a philosophical account focusing on the supreme cause of the universe’s coherence and stability, God. • One of the first extended studies of De mundo to focus on its philosophical content rather than issues of authorship, dating and style • Argues that the work provides an interpretation of Aristotle’s position about God and his relation to the universe which is at once philosophically compelling and methodologically interesting for the author’s use of analogy • Offers a glimpse into the philosophical debates in the Hellenistic period and late antiquity, but also into the genre of popular philosophy characteristic of the time December 2020 228 x 152 mm c.320pp 8 b/w illus. 2 maps 978-1-108-83478-0 Hardback £75.00 / US$99.99 C

Islamic Knowledge and the Making of Modern Egypt

Empire and the Making of Native Title

Hilary Kalmbach | University of Sussex

Sovereignty, Property and Indigenous People Bain Attwood | Monash University, Victoria

For 130 years, tensions have raged over the place of Islamic ideas and practices within modern Egypt.

This history focuses on a pivotal yet understudied school, Dar al-Ulum, whose alumni became authoritative arbiters of how to be modern and authentic within a Muslim-majority community, including by founding the Muslim Brotherhood.

Bain Attwood re-examines the historical treatment of indigenous peoples’ sovereignty and property rights in Australia and New Zealand, demonstrating that it was primarily the outcome of political struggles between multiple players at the metropolitan centre and the peripheries of empire, rather than the workings of abstract norms.

Rethinking the Secular Origins of the Novel The Bible in English Fiction 1678–1767 Kevin Seidel | Eastern Mennonite University, Virginia

Crises of Identification Marisa Palacios Knox | University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

This book explores how Victorian women readers strategically identified with literature to defy stereotypes and inspire their action and creativity.

Engaging with nineteenth-century English literature and culture, the book engages with theories and histories of reading that appeal to literary scholars and educators.

Unsettling the usual ways we think about the relationship between religion and secularism, and focusing on scenes where the Bible shows up as a physical object in eighteenth-century English fiction, this book powerfully argues that the English novel rose with the Bible, not after it.

• Takes up recent, interdisciplinary discourse on secularism and applies it to literary studies, providing new ways to think about secularity in literature • Productively connects histories of the novel and histories of the Bible • Explores the Bible as a material object, not just a text, to understand its plural and varied authority within the novel and among various social practices connected to the Bible October 2020 228 x 152 mm c.280pp 978-1-108-49103-7 Hardback £75.00 / US$99.99

A reassessment of Beckett’s alleged Cartesianism using the theoretical framework of extended cognition.

Eucharist and Receptive Ecumenism From Thanksgiving to Communion Kimberly Hope Belcher | University of Notre Dame, Indiana

Discussions between Christians from different traditions often focus on doctrine, but for many Christians, differences in practice and worship are much more central and important. By looking at the eucharist as thanksgiving, this book bridges Catholic and Protestant practice and theology and shows a new approach to Christian unity.

• Receptive ecumenism is a relatively new approach to dialogue between Christians from different denominations.; this book is both an exercise in the method and a demonstration of scholarly humility in action • The historical context of theological development, especially what Christians were doing and what they thought they ought to be doing, is used to contextualize contentious doctrines and debates like transubstantiation and sacrifice • The author’s approach both expands our understanding of the eucharist and illuminates the role of thanksgiving in our daily and spiritual life September 2020 228 x 152 mm c.300pp 978-1-108-83956-3 Hardback £75.00 / US$99.99

• Advances a daring and original new argument about truth that unites philosophy and theology as well as premodern and postmodern perspectives • The author, an originator of the controversial Radical Orthodoxy movement, is one of the most creative and best known theological thinkers at work today • Moves towards a notion of truth that gets beyond the limitations of epistemological argument, and as such will be of great interest to theologians and philosophers alike October 2020 228 x 152 mm c.275pp 978-1-108-84032-3 Hardback £29.99 / US$39.99

Could these competing visions of greatness be reconciled?

• Examines the Classical and Hellenistic cultural backgrounds for the development of Christian theology and ethics in late antiquity • Examines how two major Latin theologians, Ambrose and Augustine, used the language of greatness to distinguish Christian virtue from pagan virtue • Provides an account of the development of the idea of greatness and the ideal of the great-souled man after Aristotle October 2020 228 x 152 mm c.350pp 978-1-108-49074-0 Hardback £75.00 / US$99.99

Using a canonical-agrarian approach, this book challenges longstanding assumptions to offer a new concept of the narratives’ rhetorical and theological contribution and insights into Elijah’s iconographical character.

Hindu Monotheism Gavin Dennis Flood | Yale University, Connecticut

From the Material to the Mystical in Late Medieval Piety The Vernacular Transmission of Gertrude of Helfta’s Visions Racha Kirakosian | Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Germany

Challenging the long-standing idea that translations do not bear the same literary or historical weight as the supposed originals upon which they are based, this book shows that vernacular manuscripts tell us a great deal about medieval culture, especially as textiles and other material objects came to infuse devotional piety.

• Provides examples of textiles which have influenced devotional culture • Discusses collective writing over long periods of time and in a manuscript culture • Makes the point that the transmission history of texts encompasses redactions which are as valuable as the text sources upon which they are modelled January 2021 253 x 177 mm c.350pp 978-1-108-84123-8 Hardback c. £80.00 / c.

If by monotheism we mean the idea of a single transcendent God who creates the universe out of nothing, then that is not found in the history of Hinduism. But if we mean a supreme, transcendent deity who impels the universe, an ultimate source of all other gods who are her or his emanations, then this can be found in Hinduism.

The Bahá’í Faith, Violence, and Non-Violence Robert H. Stockman | Wilmette Institute

Both violence and non-violence are important themes in the Bahá’í Faith, but their relationship is not simple. The Bahá’í sacred writings see violence in the world as being a consequence of the immature state of human civilization. This Element explores how Bahá’í scriptures provide a blueprint for building a new culture where violence is rare.

Monotheism and Religious Diversity Roger Trigg | University of Oxford

If there is one God, why are there so many religions? This Element argues that monotheism provides the basis for a belief in objective truth. Human understanding is fallible and partial, without the idea of one God, there is no foundation for a belief in one reality or a common human nature. The shadow of monotheism lies over everything.

Monotheism and Hope in God William J. Wainwright | University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee

This Element examines aspects of monotheism and hope. Distinguishing monotheism from nontheistic religions, it explores how God transcends terms used to describe the religious ultimate. Wainwright examines the loves prized in Islam, Christianity and theistic Hinduism, and defends the sort of love valorized by them against some charges against it.

Divine Ideas Thomas M. Ward | Baylor University, Texas

This Element defends a version of the classical theory of divine ideas; the containment exemplarist theory. This holds that God’s own nature is the examplar of all possible creation, so God’s ideas are ideas of himself. Containment exemplarism offers a montheism fit for metaphysics, as it is coherent, simple and explanatorily powerful.
