Infos

This volume presents essays written in honour of Robert Maltby, Emeritus Professor of Latin at the University of Leeds. It offers a rich collection of modern scholarship covering a wide range of literary genres in Latin literature, spanning from Augustan times up to the Italian Renaissance. The value of this volume lies in its inclusion of new interpretations of well-discussed texts from the past, shedding light on texts that have recently garnered scholarly attention and sparked lively discussions. Fifteen essays reflect the main areas of scholarship and interests of the honoree in a variety of Roman literary genres, with special focus on the Corpus Tibullianum, but also on etymologising and textual criticism. The collection is not exclusively intended for classicists, historical linguists, and textual critics. By providing insightful discussions and fresh interpretations of themes and issues in Latin literature from a contemporary perspective, it also appeals to anyone interested in Mediterranean studies, the socio-cultural aspects of literature, and comparative literature.
