Description

Lucans Bellum Civile ist eines der wirkmächtigsten und ungewöhnlichsten Werke der frühen Kaiserzeit; es genießt gerade in jüngster Zeit reges Forschungsinteresse. Im vorliegenden Band analysieren namhafte Lucanforscher die poetologischen, narratologischen und stilistischen Gestaltungstechniken, mit denen Lucan die Bürgerkriegsthematik literarisiert. Das Epos steht zugleich inner- und außerhalb der Gattungstradition und konfrontiert seine Leserschaft mit einer neuartigen Ästhetik.

Report

"In sum this is a useful resource on Lucan's epic. Those interested in Lucan's rhetoric, his Africa, or his Cato in particular will find a lot to think over here."
Paul Roche in: BMCR 2011.05.13
"Overall, this is a strong collection; I learned something from nearly all the articles, and several are first rate."
Gregory Hays in: Religious Studies Review 3/2010
