She moved closer and put her mouth near mine in order to mumble her charm over the wound. In whispering the formula she lightly grazed my lips with hers. I silently kissed her in return, just suppressing the noise kisses make. And as she formed the words, opening and closing her mouth, she transformed that incantation into a steady stream of kisses . The last centuries BC saw the birth of a genre of tales of love, adventure, villainy - and preferably a mixture of all three - which can fairly be called 'novels' and which, indeed, inspired the first novels of modern times. They served a burgeoning demand for light reading among the Greek-speaking middle classes in the cities of the Eastern Mediterranean. In a style at once entertaining and erudite, Professor Hägg assembles the evidence. Using a wealth of extracts in English translation, he analyses the content, plot and narrative techniques of the novel of antiquity, and explores the social and literary millieu in which it flourished. He takes the story forward from the ideal Greek novel, through its parody in the. Roman comic novel and its continuation in the apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, to the influence of the Greek form on Sidney, Cervantes and Racine. ".this much needed book is superlatively well done; it is both very readable and thoroughly scholarly, sympathetic to its topic, critical in approach, and authoritative. An admirably judged study, which will be valuable to others besides classicist.".…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Near Fine. The two centuries between a. D. 250 and a. D. 450 witnessed the creation of a distinctive Christian Greek culture in the eastern part of the Roman empire. This book focuses on the transition from ancient to Christian Hellenism as it was expressed in the biographical and panegyric literature of the period. The essays show how literary genres focusing on individual lives help to reveal this historical process. The contributors are leading scholars who bring several disciplines to bear on these texts: they are historians, theologians, classicists, and historians of religion. Together, the collection presents much new research and helps show Late Antiquity not only as an important transitional period but also as an era with an identity of its own. Among the figures the biographical texts bring to life are Antony the Great, the charismatic desert father, and Basil of Caesarea, the influential church politician. Collectively the essays go beyond discussion of particular texts to consider such general topics as strategies of rhetoric and representation, the place of classical Greek culture in both pagan and Christian education, and what is meant by philosophy as a way of life.; 288 pages.…
