Rather, he uses strategies to elicit readers' active engagement with the act of judging. This book, drawing on the insights of recent narrative theories, especially narratology and reader-response criticism, examines Plutarch's narrative techniques in the Parallel Lives of drawing his readers into the process of moral evaluation and exposing them to the complexities entailed in it. Subjects discussed include Plutarch's prefatory projection of himself and his readers and the interaction between the two; Plutarch's presentation of the mental and emotional workings of historical agents, which serves to re-enact the participants' experience at the time and thus arouse empathy in the readers; Plutarch's closural strategies and their profound effects on the readers' moral inquiry; Plutarch's principles of historical criticism in On the malice of Herodotus in relation to his narrative strategies in the Lives. Through illustrating Plutarch's narrative technique, this book elucidates Plutarch's praise-and-blame rhetoric in the Lives as well as his sensibility to the challenges inherent in recounting, reading about, and evaluating the lives of the great men of history. 410 0$aTrends in classics.$pSupplementary volumes ;$vv. 57. 606 $aJudgment (Ethics) 607 $aGreece$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 607 $aRome$vBiography$xHistory and criticism 610 $aParallel Lives. 610 $aPlutarch. 610 $amoral judgement. 610 $anarrative technique. 615 0$aJudgment (Ethics) 676 $a888.0108 700 $aChrysanthou$b Chrysanthos S.$01148914 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796891203321 996 $aPlutarch?s Parallel Lives$93653999 997 $aUNINA
