Diverse essays treat literary elements such as the parallelism which renders a pair of lives a unit or the themes which unify the lives. Others consider the selecting, combining, simplifying, and enlarging employed in composition. The construction of a Plutarchian life, the essays demonstrate, required careful selection and creative reworking of the historical material available.Biography as a literary formGreeceBiographyHistory and criticismRomeBiographyHistory and criticismGreeceHistoriographyRomeHistoriographyElectronic books.Biography as a literary form.920.038Stadter Philip A153603FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910454909403321Plutarch and the historical tradition2220387UNINA
