This book also describes the importance of epistolary motifs in narratives concerning power, voice, and interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a thoughtful and well-written analysis of an understudied phenomenon in ancient literature. Jenkins's chapters sparkle with erudition and lucid discussion in a manner that draws the reader into a complex and playful world of misdirected missives. His topic raises issues that sit squarely at the intersection of classical studies and post-modern literary theory, and he is to be commended for showing equal competence in both fields, and in a style that is extremely enjoyable to read. In sum, a fine work of elegant complexity that bodes well for this young scholar. -- Richard Armstrong, Associate Professor of Classical Studies, University of Houston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Palamedes and the Death of the Author Chapter 3 Cicero's Wayward Letters Chapter 4 Epistolary Warfare Chapter 5 Forsenic Letters Chapter 6 Kinetic Letters in Drama Chapter 7 Ovidian Letters Chapter 8 Letters in the Historia Augusta Chapter 9 Postscript Chapter 10 Bibliography Chapter 11 Index","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037421732183,"sku":"9780739117149","price":74.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780739117149.jpg?v=1750935718","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/intercepted-letters-epistolary-and-narrative-in-greek-and-roman-literature-roman-studies-interdisciplinary-approaches-9780739117149","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
