The Arts of Imitation in Latin Prose: Pliny's Epistles/Quintilian in Brief
Book information
Description
Imitation was central to Roman culture, and a staple of Latin poetry. But it was also fundamental to prose. This book brings together two monuments of the High Empire, Quintilian's Institutio oratoria ('Training of the orator') and Pliny's Epistles, to reveal a spectacular project of textual and ethical imitation. As a young man Pliny had studied with Quintilian. In the Epistles he meticulously transforms and subsumes his teacher's masterpiece, together with poetry and prose ranging from Homer to Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus. In teasing apart Pliny's rich intertextual weave, this book reinterprets Quintilian through the eyes of one of his sharpest readers, radically reassesses the Epistles as a work of minute textual artistry, and makes a major intervention in scholarly debates on intertextuality, imitation and rhetorical culture at Rome. The result is a landmark study with far-reaching implications for how we read Latin literature. 01.0_pp_i_ii_The_Arts_of_Imitation_in_Latin_Prose 02.0_pp_iii_iii_The_Arts_of_Imitation_in_Latin_Prose 03.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 04.0_pp_v_v_Dedication 05.0_pp_vi_vi_Epigraph 06.0_pp_vii_viii_Frontispiece 07.0_pp_ix_xi_Contents 08.0_pp_xii_xiv_Ad_lectorem 09.0_pp_xv_xvii_Quintilian_in_Brief_in_Brief 10.0_pp_xviii_xviii_Abbreviations 11.0_pp_1_19_Two_Scenes_from_the_Life_of_an_Artist 12.0_pp_20_68_Setting_the_Stage 13.0_pp_69_107_Brief_Encounters 14.0_pp_108_133_Dancing_with_Dialectic 15.0_pp_134_191_Through_the_Looking-Glass 16.0_pp_192_248_On_Length_in_Brief_Ep_120 17.0_pp_249_271_Letters_to_Lupercus 18.0_pp_272_322_Studiorum_secessus_Ep_79 19.0_pp_323_352_Docendo_discitur 20.0_pp_353_406_Reflections_of_an_Author 21.0_pp_407_472_Quintilian_Pliny_Tacitus 22.0_pp_473_494_Beginnings 23.0_pp_495_530_References 24.0_pp_531_549_Index_locorum 25.0_pp_550_550_Index_of_Greek_and_Latin_Words 26.0_pp_551_558_General_Index
