Excerpt from Dead Language and Dead Languages With Special Reference to Latin: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Liverpool Those who reflect but for a moment on the significance of any word which they or their fellows employ will readily discern that there are two parts in it which may be always distinguished - the one what is expressed, and the other what is implied. A single instance will make this clear. When, in our Civil Wars, Roundhead and Cavalier spoke of 'the king, ' or of 'kings, ' the word they used expressed to each the same person, or the same class of persons. But how different to the two was all that the word implied, and how different were the consequences which streamed from the implications! Life, says the most practical and the most comprehensive of all the ancient philosophers - life is action, not production; and 'living' and its opposite, 'dead, ' are words whose implications are in a high degree suggestive and provocative of actions. 'The branch is dead.' Cut it off. 'The flowers are dead.' Throw them away. 'The man is dead.' Bury or burn him. By a metaphor, possibly legitimate but just as possibly misleading, the word has been transferred from the world of nature to the world of speech. But its general import was not affected by the transference, and its implications went along with it. And the purport and influence of these implications will claim to-day our most serious attention.

What could Greek poets or Roman historians say in their own language that would be lost in translation? After all, different languages have different personalities, and this is especially clear with languages of the ancient and medieval world. This volume celebrates six such languages - Ancient Greek, Latin, Old English, Sanskrit, Old Irish, and Biblical Hebrew - by first introducing readers to their most distinctive features, then showing how these linguistic traits play out in short excerpts from actual ancient texts. It explores, for instance, how Homer's Greek shows signs of oral composition, how Horace achieves striking poetic effects through interlaced word order in his Latin, and how the poet of Beowulf attains remarkable intensity of expression through the resources of Old English. But these are languages that have shared connections as well. Readers will see how the Sanskrit of the Rig Veda uses words that come from roots found also in English, how turns of phrase characteristic of the Hebrew Bible found their way into English, and that even as unusual a language as Old Irish still builds on common Indo-European linguistic patterns. Very few people have the opportunity to learn these languages, and they can often seem mysterious and inaccessible: drawing on a lucid and engaging writing style and with the aid of clear English translations throughout, this book aims to give all readers, whether scholars, students, or interested novices, an aesthetic appreciation of just how rich and varied they are.

“A gothic and elegant page-turner.”—The Boston Globe Twenty years ago, Jane Hudson fled the Heart Lake School for Girls in the Adirondacks after a terrible tragedy. The week before her graduation, in that sheltered wonderland, three lives were taken, all victims of suicide. Only Jane was left to carry the burden of a mystery that has stayed hidden in the depths of Heart Lake for more than two decades. Now Jane has returned to the school as a Latin teacher, recently separated and hoping to make a fresh start with her young daughter. But ominous messages from the past dredge up forgotten memories. And young, troubled girls are beginning to die again–as piece by piece the shattering truth slowly floats to the surface. . . .

A.E. Housman (1859-1936) was a man of many apparent contradictions, most of which remain unresolved 150 years after his birth. At once a deeply emotive lyric poet and a precise and dedicated classical scholar, he achieved fame in both of these diverse disciplines. Although his poetic legacy has received much scholarly analysis, and yet more attention has been devoted to reconstructing his private life, no previous work has focused on Housman the classical scholar; yet it is upon scholarship that Housman most wished to leave his mark. This timely collection of papers by leading scholars reassesses the breadth and significance of Housman's contribution to classical scholarship in both his published and unpublished writings, and discusses how his mantle has been passed on to later generations of classicists.

It is usually considered that the learning of ancient languages, such as Greek or Latin, is a very suitable secondary education option for those students who feel passion for foreign languages. For students who do not attend these languages, Latin classes tend to be among the least practical in language learning, since it is considered a dead and disused language that is useless in the future. However, the study of the Greco-Roman language allows us to understand in a global way the roots of European history through the study of Roman civilization and even begin to know the ancient world.
