This volume of collected essays explores the premise that
Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic
multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars
which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar
books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the
Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's oeuvre, the
articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both
Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner
unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the
volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here
inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the
conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two
distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial
techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia,
Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of
Plutarch's oeuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his
epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book
brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing
older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an
attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.
