Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Immersion used to be disregarded by academic scholarship as a secondary aspect of ancient narrative. It was mostly considered typical of a passive reading style unworthy of intellectual consideration. However, the study of the immersive strategies adopted by ancient authors can often reveal intriguing and sometimes unsuspected layers of sophistication in their works. This makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of ancient literaryculture.This is the first monograph that thoroughly analyses how Latin authors of narrative encourage their readers' immersion in the fictional world--an aspect of fictional literature that is essentialto fully understand the artistry and sophistication of many ancient texts. Immersed readers of fiction experience the narrative world and its inhabitants-the fictional characters-as if they were to some extent real. This experience affects the readers' visual imagination, but also their emotional reactions, physical sensations, enactive responses, and interpretive activities; deeply engaging texts adopt various strategies to boost all these aspects of the reading experience they afford.The book mobilizes the resources and methods of several scholarly approaches, both traditional and new, to explore these strategies in ancient prose and verse narratives. Detailedanalysis of language and style is combined with a careful consideration of the more general features of ancient literary genres; narratology joins forces with the study of emotions and with neurocognitive perspectives. Reader immersion is a pervasive aspect of all kinds of narrative literature, but it is more prominent in some texts than in others. In this study, Luca Graverini analyses a broad range of ancient narrative works, spanning several centuries and differentliterary genres. In purely chronological order, these include the comedies of Plautus, the Aeneid of Vergil, the Metamorphoses of Ovid, the tragedies of Seneca, the Satyrica of Petronius, and theMetamorphoses of Apuleius. The interpretive approach adopted in this monograph can attract the interest of many readers with different backgrounds and working on different subjects. This book introduces contemporary critical perspectives to the study of ancient Latin narrative texts, demonstrating how they encourage their readers to experience the fictional world and its inhabitants-the fictional characters-as if they were to some extent real Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
