Lucian: Selected Dialogues (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days
|
A translation of fourteen of Lucian's dialogues, offering a
cross-section of his styles and satirical targets, from serious
polemic (Alexander, Peregrinus) to lighter squibs and
character-portrayals (Dialogues of the Courtesans). Also included
are How to Write History and his most famous piece, A True History,
a parody of the popular vogue for fabulous traveller's tales. Each
piece has a summary introduction, and notes to clarify obscure
allusions in the text. The Introduction examines in some detail
Lucian's importance as a dominant Atticizer in the period of the
Second Sophistic, as well as his extraordinarily widespread
influence on later European literature.
