{"product_id":"landscapes-of-war-in-greek-bettina-reitz-joosse-9781350192218","title":"Landscapes of War in Greek and Roman Literature","description":"In this volume, literary scholars and ancient historians from across the globe investigate the creation, manipulation and representation of ancient war landscapes in literature. Landscape can spark armed conflict, dictate its progress and influence the affective experience of its participants. At the same time, warfare transforms landscapes, both physically and in the way in which they are later perceived and experienced. \u003ci\u003eLandscapes of War in Greek and Roman Literature\u003c\/i\u003e breaks new ground in exploring Greco-Roman literary responses to this complex interrelationship.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing on current ideas in cognitive theory, memory studies, ecocriticism and other fields, its individual chapters engage with such questions as: how did the Greeks and Romans represent the effects of war on the natural world? What distinctions did they see between spaces of war and other landscapes? How did they encode different experiences of war in literary representations of landscape? How was memory tied to landscape in wartime or its aftermath? And in what ways did ancient war landscapes shape modern experiences and representations of war?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In four sections, contributors explore combatants' perception and experience of war landscapes, the relationship between war and the natural world, symbolic and actual forms of territorial control in a military context, and war landscapes as spaces of memory. Several contributions focus especially on modern intersections of war, landscape and the classical past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bettina Reitz-Joosse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 135019221X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350192218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Bettina Reitz-Joosse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071391756543,"sku":"9781350192218","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_415d8934-571c-4284-8158-31bee9c35b16.jpg?v=1685435820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/landscapes-of-war-in-greek-bettina-reitz-joosse-9781350192218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
