Ebook: Gattungstheorie und Dichtungspraxis in neronisch-flavischer Epik

Open Access

This edited volume brings together the latest innovative approaches to the Roman epic writers Lucan, Valerius Flaccus, Statius, and Silius Italicus. On the basis of modern literary theory, the authors shed light on the contrast between genre theory and practice, the interplay between genre intersections and intertextuality, and the tension between convention and innovation in post-Augustan epic literature.
