Item description from seller

pp. 253-262. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, otherwise very good and clean. - From the text: Ancient consolatory literature has always placed scholars before the problem of the precise classification of this genre, which appears to occupy a middle position between rhetoric (more specifically epideictic oratory) and philosophy. Accordingly, scholars are divided as to whether the latter or the former - philosophy or rhetoric - was the stronger influence in this type of writing. Roughly, each one of these two positions may be identified by the name of two German scholars, the authors of two influential books on the subject: Rudolf Kassel and Horst-Theodor Johann respectively1. Kassel advocated the pre-eminence of rhetoric, Johann of philosophy. Of course, I would like to make it clear from the outset that Im referring to consolation for the death of a beloved person, though there were consolatory speeches for several other occasions: for example, for somebodys exile, like Senecas consolation to his mother Helvia, for somebodys absence, like Porphyrys letter to his wife Marcella, and so forth.
