Description

Product Description Latin literature is a hotbed of holes and erasures. Its sensitivity to politics leaves it ripe for repression of all sorts of names, places and historical events, while its dense allusivity appears to hide interpretative clues in a network of texts that only the reader's consciousness can make present. This volume showcases innovative approaches to the field of Latin literature, all of which are refracted through this prism of absence, which functions as a fundamental generative force both for the hermeneutics and the ongoing literary aftermath of these texts. Reviewing and working with various influential approaches to textual absence, the contributors to Unspoken Rome treat these texts as silent types, listening out for what they do not say, and how they do not speak, whilst also tracing the ill-defined borders within which scholars and modern authors are legitimized to fill in the silences around which they are built. Book Description Showcases innovative approaches to Latin literature, reading textual absence as a generative force for literary interpretation and reception. About the Author Tom Geue is Lecturer in Latin at the University of St Andrews. He is the author of Juvenal and the Poetics of Anonymity (Cambridge, 2017) and Author Unknown: The Power of Anonymity in Ancient Rome (2019). He is usually away from home. Elena Giusti is Associate Professor in Latin Language and Literature at the University of Warwick. She previously taught Classics at the Universities of Glasgow and Cambridge, where she was Research Fellow in Classics at St John's College. She is the author of Carthage in Virgil's Aeneid (Cambridge, 2018).
