Greek Dialogue in Antiquity: Post-Platonic Transformations

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 feb 2022
Greek Dialogue in Antiquity reexamines evidence for Greek dialogue between the mid-fourth century BCE and the mid-first century CE - that is, roughly from Plato's death to the death of Philo of Alexandria. Although the genre of dialogue in antiquity has attracted a growing interest in the past two decades, the time covered in this book has remained overlooked and unresearched, with scholars believing that for much of this period the dialogue genre went through a period of decline and was revived only in the Roman times. The book carefully reassesses Post-Platonic and Hellenistic evidence, including papyri fragments, which have never been discussed in this context, and challenges the narrative of the dialogue's decline and subsequent revival, postulating, instead, the genre's unbroken continuity from the Classical period to the Roman Empire. It argues that dialogues and texts creatively interacting with dialogic conventions were composed throughout Hellenistic times, and proposes to reconceptualize the imperial period dialogue as evidence not of a resurgence, but of continuity in this literary tradition.

Recenzii

In Greek Dialogue in Antiquity, Katarzyna Jażdżewska challenges the traditional narrative of a decline and displacement of dialogue in post-Platonic antiquity followed by a revival of the genre in the imperial period.
In Greek Dialogue in Antiquity (hereafter GDA), Jażdżewska reconsiders the history of dialogue from Plato's immediate successors until the early Roman Imperial period.
