The association's most significant news is its change in name from PAPC to PAMLA to strengthen its identification with the Modem Language Association and to maintain the historic presence of classical languages. The association's ninety-third annual meeting will be held 3-5 November 1995 at the University of California, Santa Barbara, hosted by the College of Letters and Science with its Division of the Humanities, and cosponsored by the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, the Department of Classics, the Comparative Literature Program, the Department of English, the Department of Germanic, Semitic, and Slavic Studies, and the Department of Spanish and Portuguese.

HISTORIANS OF CULTURE LOOK at Russia’s Silver Age—the period of aesthetic activity roughly between 1895 and 1915—as one of the great artistic revivals of modern history, the initial phase of what eventually became more generally known as modernism. Even more than the previous Golden Age of Pushkin, Lermontov, and other Romantic poets some sixty years earlier, this period reveals a flowering of cultural refinement rarely seen on such a broad scale. Not only writers and poets but musicians, painters, and figures in the world of theater and dance cultivated a greater sensitivity to art, which placed a premium as much on the artists’ unique personalities as on the variety and quality of the original works they produced. An early and defining emblem of the new age was Sergei Diaghilev’s lavishly illustrated ...

The opening of Juvenal’s longest and maybe the most well-known poem, Satire 6, is based on the ancient concept of the “Ages of Man”, starting from the reign of Saturn and ending with the flight of the two sisters, Pudicitia and Astraea. The first part of this 24-line-long passage depicts the Golden Age making use of two different sources: the idealized Golden Age appearing in Vergil’s poetry among others and the prehistoric primitive world from the Book 5 of Lucretius. The Juvenalian Golden Age, presented briefly in a naturalistic way, is a curious amalgam of these two traditions, being the only time in human history according to the poet when marital fidelity was unblemished. However, while reading Satire 6, it seems far from obvious that the lack of adultery should be attributed to higher morals. Albeit Juvenal presents a great variety of women’s sins in Satire 6, the poem’s central motif is infidelity beyond doubt, which is called the most ancient of all sins by the poet, being the only one that appeared in the Silver Age already. This is his cause for looking back to the mythological past in the introductory lines of the “Women’s Satire”; but as his words reveal it, the return to this state of the world and humanity seems neither possible nor desirable to him...
