This widely acclaimed book offers an introduction to the ancient
novel and presents the latest research findings in the field. For
this English translation, Professor Holzberg has substantially
updated and expanded the German edition of 1986.
Niklas Holzberg considers the ancient novel as encompassing
idealistic and comic realistic narratives with the central themes
of love and adventure. He develops his definition of the genre and
offers explanations for why this literary form was so popular
during the Hellenistic period. He goes on to examine the individual
texts in chronological order, providing a summary of the contents
of each, relevant background information and interpretative
pointers.
