Descrizione

Scholar's bookplate to inner cover (G. P. Goold). Faint dampstain to top of textblock. ; Deals with questions relating to the nature and origin of the ancient novels. It also proposes a new and positive theory of what constitutes a literary form generally and how such forms normally arise. Part I considers the serious or ideal Greek romance as a type of literature produced in quantity in response to a continuous popular demand. Part II explains the origin and rationale of the comic romances of Petronius, Lucian, and Apuleius, each in a different manner with respect to the author's purpose, his intellectual outlook, and the circumstances that impelled him to write his book. ; Sather Classical Lectures; 407 pages
