This volume explores the theme of marginality in the literature and
history of the Neronian and Flavian periods. As a concept of modern
criticism, the term marginality has been applied to the connection
between the uprooted experience of immigrant communities and the
subsequent diasporas these groups formed in their new homes. The
concept also covers individuals or groups who were barred from
access to resources and equal opportunities based on their
deviation from a "normal" or dominant culture or ideology. From a
literary vantage point, we are interested in the voices of
"marginal," or underappreciated authors and critical voices. The
distinction between marginalia and "the" text is often nebulous,
with marginal comments making their way into the paradosis and
being regarded, in modern criticism, as important sources of
information in their own right. The analysis of relevant passages
from various authors including Lucan, Petronius, Persius, Philo of
Alexandria, Pliny the Elder, Silius Italicus, and Statius, as well
as the Moretum of the Appendix Vergiliana is vital for our
understanding of the treatment of marginalized people in various
literary genres in relation to each one’s different purposes.
