| Sommario/riassunto: | This volume offers a new interpretation of Flaccus' 'Argonautica', a Latin epic poem. Stover's approach to the text is both formalist and historicist as he seeks not only to elucidate Flaccus' dynamic appropriation of Lucan, but also to associate the 'Argonautica's formal gestures within a specific socio-political context. |
