During the reign of Nero, Roman culture produced some of its most
spectacular works of art and literature, and some of its strangest.
This study explores these effects across textual and visual media
in an integrated way. Weiss' analysis allows for appreciation of
the shared strategies of composition, overlaps between literary and
visual rhetoric, the role of context in shaping the reception of a
work, and the authority of the reader/viewer to generate meaning.
The volume offers an account of Roman visual-literary interactions
in the mid-first century CE that considers these dynamics as
informing broad cultural phenomena. The results reveal features
pervasive in a literary and artistic culture invested in exploring
the edges of expression. The Neronian Grotesque is a fascinating
study on the literary and artistic production in the Neronian
period, and has wider implications for anyone working in the field
of Roman cultural history and visual studies more broadly.
