Empire of Letters

Writing in Roman Literature and Thought from Lucretius to Ovid

Beschreibung

Uniting close readings of major authors of the late Republic and early Empire with the careful analysis of the material forms that Roman writing took--papyrus scrolls, waxed tablets, and monumental inscriptions in stone and bronze--Empire of Letters provides new ways of imagining the history of the book in the pre-modern world, showing how writing was essential to ancient Roman beliefs and practice.
