Cultural Crossroads in the Ancient Novel (Trends in Classics - Supplementary Volumes, 40)

The Protagonists Of The Ancient Novels Wandered Or Were Carried Off To Distant Lands, From Italy In The West To Persia In The East And Ethiopia In The South; The Authors Themselves Came, Or Pretended To Come, From Remote Places Such As Aphrodisia And Phoenicia; And The Novelistic Form Had Antecedents In A Host Of Classical Genres. These Intersections Are Explored In This Volume. Papers In The First Section Discuss Mapping The World In The Novels. The Second Part Looks At The Dialogical Imagination, And The Conversation Between Fiction And History In The Novels. Section 3 Looks At The Way Ancient Fiction Has Been Transmitted And Received. Space, As The Locus Of Cultural Interaction And Exchange, Is The Topic Of The Fourth Part. The Fifth And Final Section Is Devoted To Character And Emotion, And How These Are Perceived Or Constructed In Ancient Fiction. Overall, A Rich Picture Is Offered Of The Many Spatial And Cultural Dimensions In A Variety Of Ancient Fictional Genres.
