A tip for readers: The listings of Loeb volumes at online bookstores vary considerably. If you want to buy a volume, it is probably quickest to look it up on HUP's Web site, get the ISBN, and then search for that. Likewise, the volumes are not always listed consistently in library catalogues, so you may find them more easily if you search by ISBN or the translator's name.

| | | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Augustan poetry - Alexander Pope the Scribblerans and poetry as social act The entire Augustan age's poetry was dominated by Alexander Pope. Since Pope began publishing when very young and continued to the end of his life, his poetry is a reference point in any discussion of the 1710's, 1720's, 1730's, or even 1740's. Furthermore, Pope's abilities were recognized early in his career, so contemporaries acknowledged his superiority, for the most part. Indeed, seldom has a poet been as publically acknowledged as a leader for as long as was Pope, and, unlike the case with figures such as John Dryden or William Wordswor ...

| | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Cumaean Sibyl - Medieval Christianity In the Middle Ages, both the Cumaean Sibyl and Virgil were considered prophets of the birth of Christ, because the fourth of Virgil's Eclogues appears to contain a Messianic prophecy by the Sibyl, and this was seized on by early Christians as such—one reason why Dante Alighieri later chose Virgil as his guide through the underworld in The Divine Comedy. Similarly, Michelangelo prominently featured the Cumaean Sibyl ...

| | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Arcadia - History Due to its remote, mountainous character, Arcadia has always been a classical refuge. So during the Dorian invasion, when Mycenaean Greek was replaced with Doric Greek along the coast of the Peloponnes, it survived in Arcadia, developing into the Arcadocypriot dialect of Classical Antiquity. Arcadocypriot never became a literary dialect, but it is known from inscriptions. Tsan is a letter of the Greek alphabet occurring only in Arcadia, shaped like cyrillic И; it represents an affricate that developed from labiovelars in context where they ...

| | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Loeb Classical Library - Reception Although some serious classicists spurn the Loebs (which have only a minimal apparatus criticus) as amateurish, and many non-classicists, conversely, are unimpressed by the relatively pedestrian prose of the English translations (necessary because of the desire to remain as literal as possible), the Loeb editions are nonetheless ubiquitous, still the "handy books of a size that would fit in a gentleman's pocket" that they were in ...

| | | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Arcadia utopia - Modern usage In 1993, Tom Stoppard wrote an acclaimed play with this title, referring to the sense of classical beauty and order associated with Arcadia.
In recent literature, especially fantasy, Arcadia has been used for a magical realm, respective to the fictional universe the story occurs. Arcadia according to the best-selling PC-game The Longest Journey was divided from the primordial original world, concentrating fantasy, dreams and magic, while ours, Stark, has been the world of science. 'Arkadia' was also a subterranean world in the French cartoon series Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. In Dungeons ...

| | | | | | | | Eclogues: Encyclopedia II - Augustan poetry - Sentiment and the poetry of the individual The other side of this division include, early in the Augustan Age, James Thomson and Edward Yonge. Thomson's The Seasons (1730) are nature poetry, but they are unlike Pope's notion of the Golden Age pastoral. Thomson's poet speaks in the first person from direct observation, and his own mood and sentiment color the descriptions of landscape. Winter, in particular, is melancholy and meditative. Edward Yonge's Night Thoughts (1742 - 1744) was immediately popular. It was, even more than Winter, a poem of deep solitu ...
