{"product_id":"language-and-authority-in-de-diana-spencer-9780299323240","title":"Language and Authority in De Lingua Latina: Varro's Guide to Being Roman","description":"Diana Spencer, known for her scholarly focus on how ancient Romans conceptualized themselves as a people and how they responded to and helped shape the world they lived in, brings her expertise to an examination of the Roman scholar Varro and his treatise \u003ci\u003eDe Lingua Latina\u003c\/i\u003e. This commentary on the origin and relationships of Latin words is an intriguing, but often puzzling, fragmentary work for classicists. Since Varro was engaged in defining how Romans saw themselves and how they talked about their world, Spencer reads along with Varro, following his themes and arcs, his poetic sparks, his political and cultural seams. Few scholars have accepted the challenge of tackling Varro and his work, and in this pioneering volume, Spencer provides a roadmap for considering these topics more thoroughly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Spencer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299323242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299323240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.51w x 0.94d","brand":"Diana Spencer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070635831551,"sku":"9780299323240","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b6e018a-fae6-4dca-b6b1-c08e20505b9d.jpg?v=1685431473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/language-and-authority-in-de-diana-spencer-9780299323240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
