Table of ContentsReviews'This original and learned book, written in sparkling and stylish prose, makes a fundamental contribution to our appreciation of Pliny the Younger's artistry. Christopher Whitton shows that there is much more Quintilian in Pliny's Epistles than anyone had realised - and that recognising Quintilian's presence is of vital importance for understanding Pliny's literary project. With complete control of the sources, Whitton takes the reader on an unexpectedly fascinating tour of Quintilian's earliest reception, and along the way sheds new light on Latin prose intertextuality and the quintessentially Roman practice of imitatio.'
