This anthology of articles on the Roman novels of Petronius and
Apuleius makes available some of the most useful and important
articles published in German and Italian as well as English over
the last thirty years. The introduction, by the editor, provides a
general assessment of all scholarly work written about the texts
from the 1900s to the 1990s, setting the papers usefully in
context. The articles in this collection which concern the work of
Petronius include a general interpretation of a fragmentary and
problematic text, exploration of narrative technique, relation to
Menippean satire and recently discovered Greek novel papyri, and
realism. On Apuleius, the collection includes pieces on narrative
and ideological unity, relation to religion and Platonism,
exploration of narrative technique, relation to epic and to the
Greek ass stories, to folk-tale, and historical realism. A
reflection of the period of rapid expansion of scholarly interest
in the area of the ancient novel, this book combines the best of
current international scholarly interpretation.
