Product DescriptionThe first three chapters of this book elucidate the scholastic goals of both classical cultures during the Roman Imperial period. Apuleius' works share the stage in these chapters with representatives of the secondcentury Greek cultural paradigm. They define patterns of discourse and fit selected examples of analogous Apuleian strategies into the broader cultural framework.Subsequent chapters focus closely on the complete Apuleian corpus under the general headings of Apuleius in the roles of orator, philosopher and novelist.Two of Apuleius' philosophical works and his novel the Golden Ass provide an unparalleled opportunity to analyze the methods of translation and adaptation employed by the major Latin writer of the second half of the second century.Review'...Apuleian scholars should be grateful to Sandy for his achievement in supplying the first broadly effectivwe modern account of Apuleius' cultural and intellectual background.'Stephen J. Harrison, Scholia Reviews, 2000.'...Apuleian scholars and Latinists may be grateful to S. for his important study on this Latin writer of the Second Sophistic.'Vincent Hunink, Journal of Hellenic Studies, 2000.About the AuthorGerald Sandy, Ph.D. (1968) in Classics, is Professor of Classics at the University of British Columbia.
