"Speech in Ancient Greek Literature is the fifth volume in the series Studies in Ancient Greek Narrative. There is hardly any Greek narrative text without speech, which need not surprise in the literature of a culture which loved theatre and also invented the art of rhetoric. This book offers a full discussion of the types of speech, the modes of speech and their effective alternation, and the functions of speech from Homer to Heliodorus, including the Gospels. For the first time speech-introductions and 'speech in speech' are discussed across all genres. All chapters also pay attention to moments when characters do not speak"--

Poissons qui grimpent aux arbres, cigognes qui prennent soin de leurs parents... A l'ère prémoderne, les textes et les arts visuels forment un fabuleux bestiaire qui révèle l'inventivité et la richesse de la réflexion sur les animaux. Les études de ce volume vous font découvrir l'animal dans tous ses états : est-il une simple image anthropomorphique de l'homme ? Un modèle à suivre ? Ou même un être autonome, égal ou supérieur à l'homme ? Explorant une diversité de textes - fables, poésie, roman, récits de voyage, emblèmes - et de médias visuels - peinture, tapisserie, bijouterie, ce volume montre les fructueux échanges prémodernes entre l'histoire naturelle et les arts. En interrogeant implicitement la nécessité de dépasser l'anthropocentrisme et l'anthropomorphisme régnants, il s'inscrit dans les nouvelles tendances de la critique culturelle. Fish climbing trees, storks taking care of their parents...Premodern textual and visual culture presents us with a fabulous bestiary that reveals ingenious and rich reflections on the animal kingdom. The studies united in this volume will allow you to discover animals in all their possible states: are they simple anthropomorphic images of man? Models to follow? Or autonomous beings, equal or even superior to man? By exploring a large diversity of texts - fables, poetry, novels, travel narratives, emblematic works - and visual media - paintings, tapestries, jewellery, this richly illustrated volume displays the fruitful premodern exchanges between natural history and culture. It follows new trends in cultural criticism by implicitly interrogating the need to move beyond the reigning paradigms of anthropocentrism and anthropomorphism. -- quatrième de couverture.
