Metaphor and the Ancient Novel


Book Description

This thematic fourth Supplementum to Ancient Narrative, entitled Metaphor and the Ancient Novel, is a collection of revised versions of papers originally read at the Second Rethymnon International Conference on the Ancient Novel (RICAN 2) under the same title, held at the University of Crete, Rethymnon, on May 19-20, 2003.Though research into metaphor has reached staggering proportions over the past twenty-five years, this is the first volume dedicated entirely to the subject of metaphor in relation to the ancient novel. Not every contributor takes into account theoretical discussions of metaphor, but the usefulness of every single paper lies in the fact that they explore actual texts while sometimes theorists tend to work out of context.




Humanisme i literatura neollatina


Book Description

Aquest volum, homenatge al prof. Ijsewijn, recull una magnífica selecció de treballs preparada pel prof. Josep Lluís Barona. Una vegada més, l’erudició filològica pot aportar claus significatives en el marc del debat actual sobre la modernitat i no sols conscienciar-nos de les arrels clàssiques de la nostra cultura, sinó també fer-nos més palesa encara la ineludible dimensió humana del coneixement i del progrés. Sens dubte, un contrapunt excel•lent per indagar la nostra instal•lació en el món actual.
