Considering the ubiquity of rhetorical training in antiquity, the
volume starts from the premise that every first-person statement in
ancient literature is in some way rhetorically modelled and
aesthetically shaped. Focusing on different types of Greek and
Latin literature, poetry and prose, from the Archaic Age to Late
Antiquity, the contributions analyse the use and modelling of
gender-specific elements in different types of first-person speech,
be it that the speaker is (represented as) the author of a work, be
it that they feature as characters in the work, narrating their own
story or that of others. In doing so, they do not only offer new
insights into the rhetorical strategies and literary techniques
used to construct a gendered 'I' in ancient literature. They also
address the form and function of first-person discourse in
classical literature in general, touching on fields of research
that have increasingly come into focus in recent years, such as
authorship studies, studies concerning the ancient notion(s) of the
literary persona, as well as a historical narratology that
discusses concepts such as the narrator or the literary character
in ancient literary theory and practice.
