Reading Miscellany in the Roman Empire

Aulus Gellius and the Imperial Prose Collection

Beschreibung

Reading Miscellany in the Roman Empire interprets Aulus Gellius' second-century text, the Noctes Atticae, as a fundamentally literary collection that offers a profound meditation on the experience of reading and literary culture at the height of the Roman Empire. Incorporating textual analysis alongside narratology-informed approaches, Scott J. DiGiulio investigates the strategies used by Gellius to innovate within the Latin literary tradition and provides a framework for interpreting this text's perceived disorder on its own terms.
