Description

This acclaimed introduction to the ancient novel presents the latest research in classical literature, substantially updated from the original German edition of 1986. Professor Niklas Holzberg examines the ancient novel as a literary form encompassing both idealistic and comic realistic narratives, centred on themes of love and adventure. The work develops a comprehensive definition of the genre and explores why this narrative form achieved such popularity during the Hellenistic period. Holzberg then systematically analyses individual ancient texts in chronological order, providing contextual insights into their significance and literary merit. Essential reading for students of classical literature, literary history, and ancient studies seeking to understand the development and characteristics of one of antiquity's most influential literary forms.
