{"product_id":"martial-select-epigrams-9780521555395","title":"Martial: Select Epigrams","description":"Ninety poems by Martial, the first-century a.d. epigrammatist, are presented, with commentary, in this edition. Selected on the basis of their thematic importance, these concise poems provide an unique opportunity to interpret a significantly neglected author. The book considers the sociocultural and historical matrix from which the epigrams sprang and the Roman love of personal invective which sustains and enlivens a major portion of Martial's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWatson, Lindsay:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Lindsay Watson is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Sydney and the author of Arae: The Curse Poetry of Antiquity (1991).\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWatson, Patricia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Patricia Watson is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Sydney and author of Ancient Stepmothers: Myth, Misogyny and Reality (1995).","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50872677138706,"sku":"9780521555395","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c9af0145-93d2-41b7-9ebc-0ca62259e3c1.jpg?v=1737905491","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/martial-select-epigrams-9780521555395","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
