The Cambridge Companion to the Greek and Roman Novel contains nineteen original essays by an international cast of experts in the field. The emphasis is upon the critical interpretation of the texts within historical settings, both in antiquity and in the later generations that have been and continue to be inspired by them. All the central issues of current scholarship are addressed: sexuality, cultural identity, class, religion, politics, narrative, style, readership and much more. Four sections cover cultural context of the novels, their contents, literary form, and their reception in classical antiquity and beyond. Each chapter includes guidance on further reading. This collection will be essential for scholars and students, as well as for others who want an up-to-date, accessible introduction into this exhilarating material. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 517 3 $aThe Cambridge Companion to the Greek & Roman Novel 606 $aClassical fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aClassical fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a880.09 686 $a18.43$2bcl 686 $a18.46$2bcl 702 $aWhitmarsh$b Tim 712 12$aInternational Conference on the Ancient Novel$d(4th :$f2008 :$eLisbon, Portugal) 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201144303316 996 $aCambridge companion to the Greek and Roman novel$91224313 997 $aUNISA
