About this book
Up to now the ninth and longest book of Lucan's poem on the Civil War has lacked a continuous commentary satisfying modern requirements. This want has now been supplied. The Latin text is accompanied by a new German translation, which incorporates all the insights resulting from the detailed commentary. An introduction discusses such topics as Lucan's treatment of his historical sources and of various literary models. Extensive indexes complete the work. Besides the examination of the poet1s language and style, particular attention is paid throughout to questions of his epic technique and the use of typical motifs.
Reviews
"Wick's opus will surely become a point of reference for any serouis Lucan scholar."
Martin T. Dinter in: Classical World 101.2/2008
"[...] this book is a solid work, focused and coherent, and therefore, deserves our praise."
Bryn Mawr Classical Review, Bryn Mawr, 25.9.2005
"[...] die Aufgabe, in die fünf Jahre entsagungsvoller Arbeit geflossen sind, hat Wick mit Bravour gelöst. Entstanden ist ein überzeugendes Vademecum zum neunten Buch, das so gut wie keine Wünsche offenläßt und das in der Qualität des philologischen Handwerks [...], der durchdachten Präsentation des Materials, aber auch in der Sicherheit des Urteils Maßstäbe setzt. [...] Wicks rundum gelungene Arbeit (schon der Satzspiegel der Übersetzung ist ein typographischer Genuss) verdient allerhöchstes Lob. Ihre beiden Bände haben das Zeug zum Klassiker."
