Reader reviews for Latin Fiction

From the publisher

Latin Fiction provides a chronological study of the Roman novel from the Classical period to the Middle Ages, exploring the development of the novel and the continuity of Latin culture. Essays by eminent and international contributors discuss texts including:

* Petronius, Satyrica and Cena Trimalchionis
* Apuleius, Metamorphose(The Golden Ass) and The Tale of Cupid and Psyche
* The History of Apollonius of Tyre
* The Trojan tales of Dares Phrygius and Dictys Cretensis
* The Latin Alexander
* Hagiographic fiction
* Medieval interpretations of Cupid and Pysche, Apollonius of Tyre and the Alexander Romance.

For any student or scholar of Latin fiction, or literary history, this will definitely be a book to add to your reading list.

First line

Tacitus (Annals 16.17-20) tells us a brief but famous history of a courtier of Nero who held a proconsulship in Bithynia and later became consul (AD 62), but who gained some fame or notoriety for a life-style of studied ease and natural elegance.

Description:
Routledge, London / New York, 1999. XI,277p. Original black cloth, spine silver titled, with pictorial dust wrps. Nice copy. A.o.: G. SCHMELING: Petronius and the 'Satyrica' (pp.23-38); G.N. SANDY: Apuleius' 'Golden Ass': from Miletus to Egypt (pp.81-103); R. STOEMAN: The Latin Alexander (pp.167-187); R.H.F. CARVER: The rediscovery of the Latin novels (pp.253-269). 'In Latin Fiction the table of contents alone is proof of the rich variety of ancient novelistic prose. That the contributions do justice to that variety makes the book a worthwhile purchase for those seeking a reliable and well-documented introduction to the texts.' (JOY CONNOLLY in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.05.10).
