Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Sidonius Apollinaris is a central figure in the literature and historyof fifth-century Gaul. But he still awaits sustained debate in modernscholarship. This integrated and international collection of essaysexplores the potential for a complete commentary on his works, startingwith a retrospective on Sidonius scholarship up to the present, and thenfocusing in turn on his verse and his prose. The strangeness of hispoetry triggers a critical contemporary assessment and a proposal forbetter understanding through the theory of Cultural Memory; there followcase studies of the panegyrics and of poems within the letters, andexaminations of his intertextuality with Horace and Claudian. Researchinto Sidonius prose is represented by two contrasting essays on thecomposition of the letter collection, by a demonstration of how Sidoniusconstructs history to create contemporary identity, and by agroundbreaking chapter applying text linguistics to the letters. Anappendix fills a significant scholarly lacuna with Helga Koehlersindices to her commentary on Letters, Book 1 (Heidelberg, 1995).The present volume will be important for both literary and historicalscholars of the late Roman world, for both Classicists and Medievalists.
