A Companion to Plutarch offers a broad survey of the famous historian and biographer; a coherent, comprehensive, and elegant presentation of Plutarch's thought and influence
* Constitutes the first survey of its kind, a unified and accessible guide that offers a comprehensive discussion of all major aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre
* Provides essential background information on Plutarch's world, including his own circle of influential friends (Greek and Roman), his travels, his political activity, and his relations with Trajan and other emperors
* Offers contextualizing background, the literary and cultural details that shed light on some of the fundamental aspects of Plutarch's thought
* Surveys the ideologically crucial reception of the Greek Classical Period in Plutarch's writings
* Follows the currents of recent serious scholarship, discussing perennial interests, and delving into topics and works not formerly given serious attention |
