Download or read book Approaches to Genre in the Ancient World written by Michelle Borg and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No less than their modern counterparts, ancient genres were contested, hybrid and ambiguous. This volume, the result of a conference at the University of Sydney, is a collection dealing with some of the many issues around ancient understandings of genre. It presents a series of case studies, some concerned with texts that have loomed large in discussions of ancient genre (such as the works of Ovid), and others, in particular late-antique works, that have received less attention. Ranging from Rome and Greece to Gaza and Syria, Approaches to Genre in the Ancient World makes a unique contribution to the study of ancient genre and to the understanding of the specific texts discussed.
