Abstract

This is the second publication in Brill's handbook series The Classical Tradition . The subject of this volume is that group of works of extended prose narrative fiction which bears many similarities to the modern novel and which appeared in the later classical periods in Greece and Rome. The ancient novel has enjoyed renewed popularity in recent years not only among students of literature, but also among those looking for new sources on the popular culture of antiquity and among scholars of religion. The volume surveys the new insights and approaches to the ancient novel which have emerged form the application of a variety of disciplines in the recent years. The 25 senior scholars contributing to the volume are drawn from a broad range of European and North American traditions of scholarship. Chapters cover the important issues dealing with the novel, novelists, novel-like works of fiction, their development, transformation, Christianisation and Nachleben, as well as a broad range of matters, from literary/philological to cultural/historical and religious, which concerns modern scholars in the field. This publication has also been published in paperback, please click here for details.

Abstract

"The Latin Satyrica is often referred to as a satire of early imperial manners, especially of freedmen, slaves, and marginal characters from the Greek-speaking Near East. Most of the names of the characters are Greek, and the action of the extant Satyrica takes place in predominantly Greek southern Italy, first in the area around the Bay of Naples and later in Croton. If the Satyrica is satire, it is of a most gentle and general kind. The characters created by Petronius are both ill-mannered and sympathetic, and they are creations in fiction. The reader of the Satyrica recognizes from the first words that the work is extant only in fragments, and that much that had been narrated by Encolpius has been lost. In addition, attached to the Latin text of the Satyrica is a collection of fifty-one fragments from disparate sources, which with varying degrees of certitude have been attributed to the Arbiter, Petronius, or the Satyrica (but no one knows where, or even if, these fragments actually belong in the work). The short satirical pamphlet of about fifteen pages of Latin on the death, apotheosis, and attempt to enter heaven by the Roman emperor Claudius (10 BC-AD 54; r. 41-54) is almost certainly entitled Apocolocyntosis (hereafter, Apoc.), and very likely the work of the amateur philosopher and super-rich landowner Lucius Annaeus Seneca, also known as Seneca the Younger, or just Seneca (4 BC-AD 65)"--

Abstract

Michael von Albrecht's A History of Roman Literature, originally published in German, can rightly be seen as the long awaited counterpart to Albin Lesky's Geschichte der Griechischen Literatur. In what will probably be the last survey made by a single scholar the whole of Latin literature from Livius Andronicus up to Boethius comes to the fore. 'Literature' is taken here in its broad, antique sense, and therefore also includes e.g. rhetoric, philosophy and history. Special attention has been given to the influence of Latin literature on subsequent centuries down to our own days. Extensive indices give access to this monument of learning. The introductions in Von Albrecht's texts, together with the large bibliographies make further study both more fruitful and easy.
