The late-antique Roman poet Claudian has enjoyed an upsurge of
interest in his work for some thirty years. In spite of increasing
appreciation for his artistry, Claudian's position within the
history of Latin literature has not been clearly defined. This
volume presents the results of the first symposium ever devoted to
Claudian and Latin literature. Well-known scholars such as Franca
Ela Consolino, Manfred Fuhrmann, Siegmar DApp, Isabella Gualandri,
Jacqueline Long, and Peter Lebrecht Schmidt join several younger
scholars to cast new light on the literary and cultural context of
Claudian's works, on his themes and preoccupations, his aesthetics,
and on the later reception of his work. The different contributions
together give a sense not only of unity within the varied corpus of
Claudian's poetry, which comprises political and mythological epic,
epigrams, and elegies, but also of how much Claudian is
representative of the major trends of his times. Finally, the book
shows how far modern criticism has advanced towards an integrated
understanding of Claudian's work.

Erpressungen, Unterschlagungen, der Raub von Kunst- und
Kultgegenstanden und die verbrecherische Willkurjustiz des Gaius
Verres als Statthalter von Sizilien bieten Cicero reichlich Stoff
fur ebenso furchtlose wie vernichtende rhetorische Attacken. Die
Auswahlausgabe enthalt die Erste Rede sowie das vierte Buch der
Zweiten Rede."
