▼ In this dissertation, I argue that two dominant perspectives on farming in Canada—the technoscientific capitalist perspective on modern industrial farming and the popular vision of hard-won survival on the family farm—both draw on narrative and aesthetic strategies that have deep roots in distinct, but related variations of the georgic tradition, which arrived in Canada in the eighteenth century and continues to shape literary representations and material practices today. Critics of Canadian literature have tended to subsume the georgic under the category of pastoral, but I argue that the georgic is a separate and more useful category for understanding the complex myths and realities of agricultural production in Canada precisely because it is a literary genre that focuses on the labour of farming and because it constitutes a complex and multi-generic discourse which both promotes and enables critique of dominant agricultural practices. I argue that, despite its sublimation beneath the pastoral, the georgic mode has also been an important cultural nexus in Canadian literature and culture, and that it constitutes a set of conventions that have become so commonplace in writing that deals with agricultural labour and its related issues in Canada that they have come to seem both inevitable and natural within the Canadian cultural tradition, even if they have not been explicitly named as georgic.
By analyzing a variety of texts such as Oliver Goldmith’s The Rising Village, Isabella Valancy Crawford’s Malcolm’s Katie, Susanna Moodie’s Roughing It in the Bush, Frederick Philip Grove’s Settlers of the Marsh, Martha Ostenso’s Wild Geese, Al Purdy’s In Search of Owen Roblin, Robert Kroetsch’s “The Ledger,” Christian Bok’s Xenotext, Rita Wong’s Forage, and Phil Hall’s Amanuensis, I recontextualize Canadian writing that deals with agrarian work within two distinct but related georgic traditions. As Raymond Williams and others have shown, the georgic’s inclusion of both pastoralizing myths and material realities makes it useful for exploring ecological questions. The georgic is often understood in terms of what Karen O’Brien has called the imperial georgic mode, which involves a technocratic, imperialist, capitalist approach to agriculture, and which helped theorize and justify imperial expansion and the technological domination of nature. But as ecocritics like David Fairer, Margaret Ronda, and Kevin Goodman have argued, the georgic’s concern with the contingency and precariousness of human relationships with nonhuman systems also made it a productive site for imagining alternatives to imperial ways of organizing social and ecological relations. Ronda calls this more ecologically-focused and adaptable georgic the disenchanted georgic, but I call it the precarious georgic because of the way it enables engagement with what Anna Tsing calls precarity.
Precarity, as Tsing explains, describes life without the promise of mastery or stability, which is a condition that leaves us in a state of being radically dependent on other…

Quis Tantus Furor? The Servian Question, Gallus, and Orpheus in Georgics 4.

▼ In Servius' commentary, there are two elusive statements concerning the ending of the Georgics. Both of these statements seem to imply that Vergil changed the ending of the Georgics and that the Orpheus epyllion as it now stands was a later edition to the poem. The question of whether or not Servius is correct in this assertion is a central question in Vergilian studies. By focusing on the reception of Orpheus prior to Vergil, the Roman Orpheus of Vergil's time, and Vergil's own use of the Orpheus figure, a potential answer emerges to the Servian question. In order to answer this question, the primary inquiry of this paper seeks to find from where Vergil received his Orpheus story. A comprehensive analysis of references to Orpheus in ancient literature leads to the conclusion that before the first-century B.C.E. the primary narrative of Orpheus is not one of failure. Rather, Orpheus appears to successfully retrieve his wife from the underworld. Orpheus does not appear as an important figure in Roman literature until the second half of the first-century when nearly at the same time as Vergil is writing the Georgics Orpheus' popularity explodes in Roman art and literature. Yet, Vergil does not seem to be the source of Orpheus' popularity in Rome, nor does Vergil seem to be inventing a new narrative in which Orpheus fails. The missing source for Vergil's Orpheus figure appears to belong to the first-century. Orpheus appears as a central figure in the Georgics, the Eclogues, the poems of Propertius, and the Culex. Each of these works is rife with references to the poetry of Cornelius Gallus. Given Gallus' prominence in first-century Roman poetry, his close association with Orpheus, the Servian claims of a laudes Galli in the fourth Georgic, and the rise of Orpheus' popularity in the second half of the first-century, Gallus seems a likely source for Vergil's Orpheus.

▼ Virgil’s works have been interpreted in striking ways during periods of political upheaval in the 20th and 21st centuries. Following the end of World War I, Benito Mussolini saw the Aeneid, Eclogues, and
Georgics as good resources for re-unifying Italy due to the values and themes they promoted, especially agrarianism, empire, and war. Mussolini’s readings of these texts were entirely optimistic and programmatic. After World War II, a shift occurred in interpretations of the Aeneid towards pessimism that came to be known as “The Harvard School of Thought”. These scholars saw a darkness and negativity not understood before in the text. Finally, the Alt-Right movement of the 2010s interprets the Aeneid as pro-white and anti-immigration. Given these three unique readings, the applicability and relevance Virgil and his works have to modern politics and wars are clear, as is the malleability of their interpretations based on people’s agendas.

▼ Columella, an agricultural writer of Spanish birth, lived and wrote during the Neronian period in the mid-first century C.E. Hissole surviving complete work is Res Rustica, a compendium of instructions on agricultural lore and practice in twelve books. The work was written in prose with the exception of Book 10, which covers gardening. Columella wrote Book 10 in hexameter verse partly in homage to Vergil’s
Georgics and partly as a way of completing or finishing the
Georgics by adding a book about gardening; this was a
subject which Vergil had briefly touched on but chose not to cover more fully, saying that he would leave it to posterity (G. 4.147-148). The work has not received a complete commentary in English since that of Harrison Boyd Ash (1930). The present study rectifies this omission and further explores the relationship between Res Rustica 10 and the
Georgics, the trope of the poet as gardener, and the identification of the plants mentioned, while also incorporating more recent scholarship in these areas. It also includes historical, mythological, and grammatical aids to the reader, who is presumed to be familiar with the
Georgics. ( en )

▼ This thesis offers a new contextualisation of weather signs, naturally occurring terrestrial indicators of weather change (from, for example, animals, plants and atmospheric phenomena), in antiquity. It asks how the utility of this method of prediction was perceived and presented in ancient sources and studies the range of answers given across almost eight hundred years of Greek and Roman civilisation. The presentation of weather signs is compared throughout to that of another predictive method, astrometeorology, which uses the movement of the stars as markers of approaching weather. The first chapter deals with the presentation and discussion of weather signs in a range of Greek texts. It sees hesitant trust being placed in weather signs, lists of which were constructed so as to be underpinned by astronomical knowledge. The second chapter assesses how these Greek lists were received and assimilated into Roman intellectual discourse by looking to the strikingly similar practice of divining by portents. This lays the foundations for the final chapter, which describes and explains the Roman treatment of weather signs. Here, the perceived utility of weather signs can be seen to reduce rapidly as the cultural significance of astronomy reaches new heights. This thesis provides new readings and interpretations of a range of weather-based passages and texts, from the Pseudo-Theophrastan De Signis, to Lucan’s Pharsalia, to Pliny’s Natural History, many of which have previously been greatly understudied or oversimplified. It allows us to understand the social and scientific place of weather prediction in the ancient world and therefore how abstract and elaborate ideas and theories filtered in to the seemingly commonplace and everyday. I argue that between the 7th century BC and the end of the 1st century AD, the treatment of weather signs changes from being framed in fundamentally practical terms to one in which practical considerations were negligible or absent. As this occurred, astrometeorology comes to be seen as the only predictive method worthy of detailed attention. These two processes, I suggest, were linked.

▼ This study explores the relationship between poetry
and politics in Books 1 and 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Vergil had
refashioned the concept of the golden age to better resonate with
Roman values, and Ovid in turn responds to Vergil by making his own
golden age free from law, seafaring, and warfare (Met. 1.89-112).
Ovid’s golden age clearly foils his ‘praise’ of Augustus in Book 15
(819-70), and thus challenges Vergil’s innovations. Ovid closely
connects his demiurge (opifex, 1.79), who created the conditions
necessary for the existence of the golden age, to himself
(15.871-9); they together display the potency of poetic power.
Poesis is different than the power of empire, which is inherently
destructive: Jupiter terminates the golden age (1.113), and
Augustus’ accomplishments are only ostensibly ‘peaceful’ (15.823,
833). Ovid suggests that the power of poesis remains beyond the
destructive reach of Augustus, since Rome’s power is limited to the
post-golden, chaotic world, and that poesis enjoys the status of
eternality which Rome and Augustus claimed to possess
themselves.

Transformation and Medieval Aristocracy: Werewolves, Lepers, and the King’s Body.

(more)
▼ Medieval writers of epics, histories, lives, and romances find a rich symbolism and significance in the way sovereign bodies change through time, disease, or injury, because the royal body is a source and figure for individual power and social organization. When a ruler’s body transforms, sickens, or ages, bodily instability becomes an opportunity to explore problems of authority and physical force. However, despite the appearance of bodily instability, the core behavior and character of nobility remain unaltered or actually intensify. This study will consider texts that exemplify these ambiguous transformations and their unexpected benefits. These works – Beowulf, Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanneae (The History of the Kings of Britain), William of Tyre’s Historia rerum in partibus transmarinis gestarum (History of Deeds Done Beyond the Sea), and Sir Orfeo – stage the bodily transformations of rulers to explore the temporality of political authority. Through these texts, we will examine two loosely defined but sometimes related and often overlapping concepts: physical transformation and disability. “Transformation” is a purposefully imprecise term because it needs to cover many variations of change. Some transformations are natural and foreseeable, such as age. Other forms of physical alteration, less natural and predicable than the changes brought by age, are transformations into bodies that are either more than or less than human. In the category of more than human are giants and berserkers. Among the less than human are dragons and werewolves. I will also be considering the changes brought by disability or illness. Though having a chronic illness such as leprosy is very distinct from having an alternate physical interaction with the world such as being mute, lame, or blind, they share in common some of the issues I will be exploring. This project seeks to test the “edges” of medieval disability, moments when the concept of disability is reversed. Often a perceived or expected disability or illness turns out not to be a disability at all, especially in royal and aristocratic circles. As we shall see, for some kings, impairments almost seem to be an advantage, enhancing their ability to inspire and encourage their followers.

▼ Virgil's Georgics has been the subject of a daunting number of articles, studies and commentaries. Of the many problems associated with the work perhaps the greatest difficulty has arisen in assessing the Aristaeus epyllion, G. 4.315-558. Numerous attempts have been made to interpret the passage and to explain its connection with the rest of Book 4 and with the whole of the Georgics. Many opinions have been expressed (quot homines, tot sententiae); however, none has been deemed completely satisfactory and none has been universally accepted. I have chosen not to add to the already vast body of scholarship dealing with these issues but to approach the epyllion from a different perspective. Despite its importance - it is, after all, the only existing extended narrative by Virgil other than the Aeneid, which it predates - the Aristaeus epyllion has not been the subject of a single exhaustive study. I have attempted, therefore, to treat the passage in isolation, tacitly accepting that it is connected with the rest of the work. My study includes a reappraisal (with, I trust, fresh insights) of the relevant mythological background and structure of the piece. Its literary form, the epyllion, is also discussed and a more detailed examination of setting and character than has been undertaken previously is presented. Finally, I offer a detailed critical appreciation in which Virgil's narrative technique, his use of literary models (especially, but not exclusively, Homer) and features of sound, rhythm and diction receive comment.

▼ In terms of genre, the larger part of Andrew Marvell's poetical works has been categorized as pastoral. Critical scholarship tends to focus on the ideas of "retreat from the world, resignation of ambition, enjoyment of rural ease and beauty, celebration of innocence and young love, and the quest for the renewal of the Golden Age" (Low 275). A pantheon of luminary scholars, including Frank Kermode, J. B. Fleishman, Donald M. Friedman, Ann E. Berthoff and William Empson, have claimed that Marvell's poetry is characterized by the pastoral mode. In this study of six of Marvell's allegedly pastoral poems, I argue that Marvell uses the georgic mode, albeit subversively, expanding and redefining the genre itself. The six poems I study are the "Mower" poems: "The Mower against Gardens," "Damon the Mower," "The Mower to the Glo-Worms," "The Mower's Song"; "Upon Appleton House"; and "The Garden." The existing critical literature dwells on Marvell's pastoral art; apart from Anthony Low's brief section on Andrew Marvell and the Civil War in The Georgic Revolution (274- 95), there has been no georgic interpretation of these poems. For this study, I read Marvell's poems against Virgil's
Georgics, focusing attention on inter-textuality, lyrical and verbal nuances, and layers of meaning that emerge through a comparative reading. The aim is to find in Marvell's poetry evidence of a georgic mode that results in a lyrical purpose unifying all six poems. The larger aim of the study is to elucidate the genre of the georgic, reading it as a genre that is appropriate for encompassing a broad sweep of themes, from agriculture to social purpose to the idea of the "self" amidst political change. Tracing Marvell's skillful redefinition of this genre is what makes this study challenging and useful.

▼ It locally contains or heaven, or hell; There’s no third place in’t. (Webster 1993) Husbandry in its original sense is a ‘being together’, based on dwelling in a particular place. There is an intricate connection between modern science and industrialised agriculture, both of which developed on the basis of particular values associated with Good Husbandry – those which focused on individual innovation, profit-related productivity, quantitative measurement, objective, ‘puritan’ truth and control of nature. Ideals of the earth as a ‘commonwealth’, and of traditional stewardship, were down-played. The writings of Francis Bacon provide an example of a positivist, pioneering attitude which has continued to underpin modern science. In retrospect, however, these ideals sound rather onesided. Nature herself is not well represented in the modern science relationship. In this thesis, Virgil’s Georgics and Lucretius’ de rerum natura are used to derive a poetics of Being and of Husbandry, which applies not only to the world of poetry, but to events which underlie scientific research. Virgil’s use of verbs verifies that life’s activities are shared by all living things. Lucretius asserts that even inanimate atoms both exist in themselves and are creative. ‘To be’ can be visualised as a dynamic, balancing act between striving to stay in being and longing to engage creatively with another. The basis of this thesis is that a shaping of research towards good husbandry involves a fair relationship with nature, which in turn involves the acknowledgement in writing that nature is active, dynamic and a good collaborator. Husbandry defined as a continually unfolding third place between extremes or between self and other – this holistic, concentric definition – applies at all scales, all levels of experience. This work was derived from practice-led research involving the writing of poetry and therefore the findings exist in parallel as a sequence of poems.

▼ This dissertation examines the philosophy of history espoused by Virgil in the Aeneid. On the one hand this involves locating the philosophical inspiration behind Virgil’s diverse references to temporality. On the other hand, it involves considering how Virgil interpreted the momentous historical events that had occurred in his own lifetime. With regard to this second point, I have taken the constructive approach of isolating aspects of the Aeneid that interpret contemporary history, and comparing them to several of Augustus’ public displays from the period following Actium that responded to the same historical stimuli. This approach allows us to see the tremendous rapport that existed between the ways these two conceived of history and historical agency, and indicates that Virgil was much more supportive of Augustus than some have supposed.
The two most important philosophical influences on Virgil’s conception of history are Stoicism and Pythagoreanism. With its doctrine of ekpyrosis, the former offered Virgil a model of history that identified destruction with creation, and thus complemented his interpretation of time as a basically sacrificial process. This latter feature is one of the most important aspects of the poem, and I devote significant attention to its presence and function in the Aeneid. This sacrificial conception of history produces a tension that underlies many of the poem’s pivotal moments; Virgil establishes this tension in such a way that it can only be resolved by a permanent escape from temporality. Such an escape was offered by the form of Pythagoreanism that he would have known, and for this reason it is the primary influence behind Virgil’s conception of the afterlife.
Virgil’s reliance on these two traditions has led to the existence of two “arcs” in the narrative, and I argue that each of these culminates in a “Golden Age.” Part of his reason for doing this was to accommodate the genuine progress that he had witnessed in his lifetime, largely in the political sphere through Octavian/Augustus. But even the latter, as I argue, was intent upon maintaining the distinction between the temporal and eternal worlds.

▼ Para a cultura clÃssica antiga, o gÃnero Ãpico parecia apresentar diferentes formas e possibilidades. à provÃvel que, para os antigos, o metro tenha sido o principal recurso para classificar os gÃneros literÃrios. Assim, um poema vertido em versos hexamÃtricos poderia ser de imediato identificado como um Ãpico. HÃ, contudo, diferenÃas entre os Ãpicos homÃricos e os hesiÃdicos, o que parece reforÃar a hipÃtese de o gÃnero Ãpico poder apresentar manifestaÃÃes distintas. Enquanto os Ãpicos homÃricos sÃo longos quanto à extensÃo e cantam feitos bÃlicos, os hesÃodicos sÃo breves e tÃm a preocupaÃÃo de transmitir um conhecimento. As GeÃrgicas, de VirgÃlio, filiam-se à composiÃÃo de tipo hesÃodico. Ainda que uma influÃncia helenÃstica seja percebida, o poema virgiliano segue caracterÃsticas de estrutura, forma e conteÃdo do Ãpico hesÃodico (que tambÃm pode ser chamado de Ãpos didÃtico); no entanto, em diversos passos parece exceder essas caracterÃsticas, deixando a impressÃo de que tambÃm manteria vÃnculos com a Ãpica homÃrica (ou com o chamado Ãpos heroico). Essa discussÃo sugere que a leitura do poema como didÃtico nÃo parece ser suficiente para sua classificaÃÃo de gÃnero, sugere tambÃm que o poema se insere numa espÃcie de progressÃo poÃtica que perfaz duas formas de Ãpos, o didÃtico e o heroico.
For the ancient classical culture, the epic genre seemed to have different shapes and possibilities. It is likely that, for the ancients, the meter has been the main resource for classifying literary genres. Thus, a poem composed into hexameter lines could be readily identified as an epic. However, there are differences between the Homeric and the Hesiodic epics which seem to reinforce the assumption that the epic genre could have different manifestations. While the Homeric epics are long as for the extent and sing the martial feats,the Hesiodic epics are brief and have the intent of transferring knowledge. The Virgilâs Georgics affiliated to the composition of Hesiodic type. Although a Hellenistic influence is perceived, the Virgilian poem follows characteristics of structure, shape and contents of the Hesiodic epic (which can also be called didactic epos). However, in several passages, the poem seems to exceed these characteristics, leaving the impression that also could maintain bonds to the Homeric epic (or the so-called heroic epos). This discussion suggests that the reading of the poem as didactic does not seem to be sufficient for the classification of genre, it also suggests that the poem is part of a kind of poetic progression that to goes through two forms of epos, heroic and didactic.

▼ In this dissertation I have offered studies on selected aspects of the third book of the
Georgics, the second 'published' work of Vergil. The
Georgics is a didactic poem in four books in which Vergil presents a discussion of various aspects of farming, advice on the maintenance of the land, the planting of crops with special attention to the cultivation of the vine and the olives and the keeping of livestock and bees. At various points in his presentation, Vergil suspends his didactic approach to offer comment on contemporary problems, the political corruption and chaos evident throughout all of Italy. These editorial intrusions by the concerned poet have prompted modern critics to transcend the limited critical approach which views the
Georgics as nothing more than an agricultural manual in verse, and to appreciate the broader philosophic design of the poem. Within the technical framework of his poem Vergil is offering a vision of civilization with important moral and political implications for his age.
In spite of this enlightened critical approach to the poem as a whole, the third book of the
Georgics has suffered from scholarly neglect. Structurally its position in the poem is crucial: Vergil abandons the preoccupations with the vegetable world and inanimate Nature which characterize books I and II, and turns to animate representatives of Nature, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats, whose lives are marked by passionate involvement and turmoil. The principal themes of book III are love and death, and although Vergil never directly abandons his preoccupation with animals, I believe that he does intend his discussion to have important moral and political implications for men as well. In my study of the third Georgic I have emphasized a vital political direction for Georgic III: Vergil uses his agricultural material as metaphor and the principal representatives of the domestic agrarian world as symbols in his vision of concern for the fate of Rome and all of Italy.
I have begun my study with a consideration of the changing agricultural patterns in the Italian peninsula during the last two centuries of the Republic in order to expose the glaring discrepancy between patterns of land utilization in peninsular Italy in the late Republic and the simple, subsistence farming which Vergil discusses in the
Georgics. Vergil was aware of the agricultural conditions of his age and obviously did not intend his treatise to be interpreted literally as a technical manaal. A close comparison of his technical material with the agricultural discussion provided by Varro in the De Re Rustica, Vergil's principal source for his agricultural precepts, offers strong evidence of a basic disparity between the sophisticated artistic presentation of the third Georgie and the uninspiring prosaic aspects of his
subject matter, and additional proof that Vergil intends a broader design for the third Georgie, a philosophic statement about man and the world.
This broad direction is confinned by a consideration of the echoes of Lucretius' philosophic…

▼ In 1558, a statue of a peasant pouring wine out of a barrel stood on top of a large green marble basin on the northeast side of the Boboli Garden in Florence. Commissioned by Duchess Eleonora di Toledo on her husband’s behalf, Baccio
Bandinelli’s peasant statue represented a character from Virgil’s Georgics, dressed in contemporary garb. This statue was part of a larger pastoral allegory that presented an Arcadian vision of a land governed by Pan, the god of Nature. Combined with
Giorgio Vasari’s pastoral allegories at the Palazzo Vecchio, this pastoral program at the Boboli Garden validated Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici’s title as the Grand Duke of Tuscany. This paper will analyze the artistic, cultural, and political context of the
Villano commission connecting it to the longstanding history of Medicean pastoral art. Its analysis will elucidate the Villano within Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici’s pastoral patronage.

▼ Abstract: The present work aims to reflect on Virgil¿s
Georgics (ca. 37-30/29 BC) from the perspective of the discursive scenography. The starting-point is a counterpoint to the traditional philological research, influential in the Classical Studies that, in general, considers the literary text as an instance understood mostly in the light of a literary system. In alternative way, a text, even though an old poem, can be understood as an instance open to other systems, as for example, the cultural, social, political one. The present research doesn¿t focus on the rhetorical or ideological aspect of discourse, but considers discourse as a "dispersion" of texts (of manifold systems) that makes visible the ways of "inscription". The Virgilian poem is discussed according to Dominique Maingueneau¿s notion of discursive scenography. The theatrical metaphor, in agreement with pragmatic prospect, presents an institutionalized space. Three are the "scenes" involved, namely, the enclosing scene, the generic scene and the scenography. To illustrate such an approach, Georgics¿ passages of book 4 are explored; in this book, a thematic proposition is recognized, the beekeeping (enclosing scene); a genre of discourse, the language of precepts (generic scene); and a particular mode representation, the hexametric poetry of the Homeric and Hesiodic tradition (scenography). The three "scenes" shape the scene of enunciation of the
Georgics 4. It is as scenography ¿ the most prominent "scene" ¿, however, that the book stages its appearance, it is in the scenography that the reception is surprised by the particular way of expression of the book
