Thirty-six chapters by leading specialists set Plutarch within the framework of modern theories on intertextuality and its various practical applications in Plutarch’s Moralia and Parallel Lives. Specific intertextual devices such as quotations, references, allusions, pastiches and other types of intertextual play are highlighted and examined in view of their significance for Plutarch’s literary strategies, argumentative goals, educational program, and self-presentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In conclusione, il volume rappresenta un contributo significativo agli studi su Plutarco, in particolare per quello che riguarda gli aspetti letterari della sua vasta produzione. La metodologia adottata si rivela duttile e capace di illuminare aspetti poco frequentati del corpus plutarcheo, rifuggendo in generale dal rischio di una eccessiva schematicità. [...] Il risultato è una panoramica esaustiva, intelligente e aggiornata rispetto al tema dell’intertestualità in Plutarco, nonché uno strumento facilmente consultabile per chi volesse approfondire le singole sfaccettature del problema nel complesso del corpus plutarcheo.\" Francesco Padovani, BMCR 2021.02.37.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  List of Figures and Tables  Abbreviations of Plutarch’s Works    Introduction: Plutarch and the Academic Reader   Maria Vamvouri    Part 1 Defining Intertextuality in Plutarch    1 Intertextuality in Plutarch: What’s the Point?   Christopher Pelling    2 Hearing Voices: φωνή and Intertextual Orality in Plutarch   Alexei V.
