Plutarch’s Unexpected Silences: Suppression and Selection in the <i>Lives</i> and <i>Moralia</i> de Jeffrey Beneker

Plutarch’s Unexpected Silences: Suppression and Selection in the <i>Lives</i> and <i>Moralia</i>: Brill's Plutarch Studies, cartea 10

Jeffrey Beneker, Craig Cooper, Noreen Humble, Frances Titchener
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2022
The act of recording anything is at the same time an act of silencing. Choices are made at every step about what to keep and what to discard. Examining what Plutarch has left out enriches our understanding of what he has chosen to say, and both deepens our knowledge of the literary practices of this influential writer and opens new and fruitful lines of enquiry about Plutarch, his work, and his world.
