Zusammenfassung: | Joseph M. Levine provides a witty and erudite account of one of the most celebrated chapters in English cultural history, the acrimonious quarrel between the "ancients" and the "moderns" which Jonathan Swift dubbed "the Battle of the Books." The dispute that amused and excited the English world of letters from 1690 until the 1730s was, Levine shows, an installment in the long-standing debate about the relationship of classical learning to modern life.Levine argues that the debate was fundamentally a quarrel about the rival claims of history and literature concerning the proper way to understand the authors of the past. He skillfully examines how both sides wrote their own brands of history: The moderns, led by Richard Bentley, proposed that the "modern" inventions of classical scholarship and archaeology gave them a superior insight into the past; the ancients, marshaled by Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, held out for a more direct imitation of antiquity and opposed the new scholarship with all the force of their satire and invective. Levine demonstrates that the ancients and the moderns influenced each other in powerful ways, and had much more in common than they knew. Chronicling a critical episode in the development of modem scholarship, The Battle of the Books illuminates the roots of present-day controversies about the role of the classics in the curriculum and the place of the humanities in education |

Levine Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2018] © 1994 1 online resource 12 halftones txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 26. Mrz 2019) Joseph M. Levine provides a witty and erudite account of one of the most celebrated chapters in English cultural history, the acrimonious quarrel between the "ancients" and the "moderns" which Jonathan Swift dubbed "the Battle of the Books." The dispute that amused and excited the English world of letters from 1690 until the 1730s was, Levine shows, an installment in the long-standing debate about the relationship of classical learning to modern life.Levine argues that the debate was fundamentally a quarrel about the rival claims of history and literature concerning the proper way to understand the authors of the past. He skillfully examines how both sides wrote their own brands of history: The moderns, led by Richard Bentley, proposed that the "modern" inventions of classical scholarship and archaeology gave them a superior insight into the past; the ancients, marshaled by Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, held out for a more direct imitation of antiquity and opposed the new scholarship with all the force of their satire and invective. Levine demonstrates that the ancients and the moderns influenced each other in powerful ways, and had much more in common than they knew. Chronicling a critical episode in the development of modem scholarship, The Battle of the Books illuminates the roots of present-day controversies about the role of the classics in the curriculum and the place of the humanities in education In English Geschichte 1690-1740 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1690-1730 gnd rswk-swf Geistesgeschichte 1690-1740 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / General bisacsh Geschichte Motiv (DE-588)4156971-4 gnd rswk-swf Querelle des anciens et des modernes (DE-588)4176705-6 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Geschichtsschreibung (DE-588)4020531-9 gnd rswk-swf Literaturtheorie (DE-588)4036031-3 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Geschichtsschreibung (DE-588)4020531-9 s Geschichte 1690-1740 z 1\p DE-604 Querelle des anciens et des modernes (DE-588)4176705-6 s Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Geschichte 1690-1730 z 2\p DE-604 3\p DE-604 Geschichte Motiv (DE-588)4156971-4 s 4\p DE-604 5\p DE-604 Literaturtheorie (DE-588)4036031-3 s 6\p DE-604 Kultur (DE-588)4125698-0 s 7\p DE-604 Geistesgeschichte 1690-1740 z 8\p DE-604 9\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501727641 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 7\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 8\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 9\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
