What's in a Name? (eBook, PDF)

The Significance of Proper Names in Classical Latin Literature
Redaktion: Booth, Joan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Latin poets and prose writers of the classical period and later used - and withheld - names subtly and to important effect. Here, in eleven new essays, an eminent international cast explore themes which include 'speaking' names, often involving bilingual Latin/Greek play; the ways in which persons and objects are named in contexts of invective or endearment; the significant suppression or changing of names; the religious and historical significances of names; the uses of names in literary catalogues; names as devices to structure a group of shorter poems.
