The Literary Genres in the Flavian Age: Canons, Transformations, Reception


Add your own review!

Overview

The construction of a new Latin library between the end of the Republic and the Augustan Principate was anything but an inhibiting factor. The literary flourishing of the Flavian age shows that awareness of this canon rather stimulated creative tension. In the changing socio-cultural context, daring innovations transform the genres of poetry and prose. This volume, which collects papers by influential scholars of early Imperial literature, sheds light on the productive dynamics of the ancient genre system and can also offer insightful perspectives to a non-classicist readership.

"""This delightful book contains seventeen papers by leading experts in this field and gives us both breadth and depth in its analysis of the major writers of the Flavian period [...] this book proves (if proof were needed) that Flavian literature is every bit as rewarding to study as anything else, and we owe a huge debt of gratitude to these seventeen scholars for sharing their insights with us in such a well-written and accessible style.""
