Reading Roman Declamation
Reading Roman Declamation: Seneca the Elder provides a comprehensive critical overview of Roman declamation, as transmitted through Seneca the Elder's Controversiae and Suasoriae, in fifteen accessible and up-to-date chapters by leading international scholars that seek to define the fundamentals of declamation as a literary genre.
Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the Medieval Mediterranean
The burgeoning field of Mediterranean Studies, which favors intersectionality over compartmentalisation, has resulted in fresh ways of understanding pre-modern interreligious relationships. This volume will introduce advanced students and non-specialists to various historical interactions between Christians, Jews, and Muslims within the frame of the “sea at the centre”. Its chronological range is the long central Middle Ages (1000 to 1600 CE), and includes most Mediterranean regions: Iberia, North Africa, the Levant, Asia Minor, the Balkans, Italy, Provence, and the sea itself.
New Perspectives in Global Latin
The Global Latin II Conference has highlighted the role of the Latin language as cultural medium between West and East. Adopting a diachronic perspective which spans from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, the conference and its proceedings have paid special attention to texts related to Africa and Asia. The richness of literary genres as well as the dialogue between the Humanities and hard sciences characterize this volume. Students of Classics will find reflections on the role of Latin in the humanistic and missionary traditions, whereas historians of ideas and historians of religions will be able to pinpoint key moments in the use of Latin language and culture in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Ethiopian contexts. This volume can also be of interest to people working on Digital Humanities and computational linguistics in Latin language, and it represents a novelty on the world scene, along the lines of the previous Global Latin I Conference, which was yet again held in Siena in 2019.
Reading Roman Declamation – Calpurnius Flaccus
As a genre situated at the crossroad of rhetoric and fiction declamatio offers the freedom to experiment with new forms of discourse. Placing the literariness of declamatio into the spotlight, this volume showcases declamation as a realm of genuine literary creation with its own theoretical underpinning, literary technique and generic conventions. Focusing on the oeuvre of Calpurnius Flaccus this volume demonstrates that these texts constitute a genre on their own, the rhetorical and literary framework of which remains not yet fully mapped. Contributions from an international group of leading scholars from the field of Roman Literature and Rhetoric will explore the question of how Roman Declamation functions as a literary genre. This volume investigates the literary technique and the generic conventions of declamatio in its social, pedagocial and ethical context to determine “the poetics” of Roman Declamation. This volume is of interest to students and scholars of Rhetoric and Roman Literature. If you are interested in Roman Declamation, we also recommend the volume on the Declamations Ascribed to Quintilian by the same editors to you.
