Sommario/riassunto

Questions about how ancient Greek texts establish their authority, reflect on each other, and project their own truths have become central for a wide range of recent critical discourses. In this volume, an influential group of international scholars examines these themes in a variety of poetic and rhetorical genres. The result is a series of striking and original readings from different critical perspectives that display the centrality of these questions for understanding the poetic and rhetorical aims of ancient Greek texts. Characterized by a combination of close attention to philological detail and theoretical sophistication, the essays in this volume make a compelling case for this kind of focused, critically informed dialogue about the nature of ancient textual praxis.  Students of classical literature will find a wealth of critical insights and challenging new readings of many familiar texts.

Sommario/riassunto

Nata nel 1808 in una delle famiglie più facoltose dell'aristocrazia milanese, Cristina Trivulzio sembrava destinata a un'esistenza principesca; eppure, ella scelse di far un uso consapevole dei suoi privilegi per costruirsi una vita autonoma, lottando per la propria emancipazione e battendosi per la giustizia e la solidarietà nei confronti dei più deboli. Ad oggi, abbiamo ancora gran bisogno di una società che consideri il pensiero solidale valore edificante: la memoria di Cristina Trivulzio, e della sua indipendenza, costituisce un monito a un mondo tuttora restio a riconoscere il ruolo decisivo delle donne nella storia. [Testo dell'editore]

Born in 1808 into one of the wealthiest families of the Milanese aristocracy, Cristina Trivulzio seemed destined for a life of privilege but chose instead to make conscious use of her wealth to acquire independence, fighting for her own emancipation and for justice in solidarity with the weakest. Today, the need for a society that considers



solidarity an edifying value is even greater and the figure of Cristina Trivulzio and her quest for independence stand as reminders to a world that remains reluctant to recognize the decisive role of women in history. [Publisher's text]
