Brill's Companion to the Reception of Plutarch
Brill’s Companion to the Reception of Plutarch offers the first comprehensive analysis of Plutarch’s rich reception history from the high Roman Empire, Late Antiquity and Byzantium to the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and the modern era, across various cultures in Europe, America, North Africa, and the Middle East.
The Dynamics of Intertextuality in Plutarch
The Dynamics of Intertextuality in Plutarch explores the numerous aspects and functions of intertextual links both within the Plutarchan corpus itself (intratextuality) and in relation with other authors, works, genres or discourses of Ancient Greek literature (interdiscursivity, intergenericity, intermateriality).
Plutarch’s Religious Landscapes
The polygraph from Chaeronea includes in Moralia and Lives a wide range of interesting views on religious and philosophical matters: philosophical theology, cult, ethics, politics, natural sciences, hermeneutics, atheism, and the afterlife. The essays included in Plutarch’s Religious Landscapes offer a glance into these views.
A Man of Many Interests: Plutarch on Religion, Myth, and Magic
This volume approaches Plutarch’s intellectual and professional activity, and the the way he managed to cover such an impressive range of areas and interests, which make of his work an inexhaustible source of information on the ancient world.
Plutarch’s Unexpected Silences
This book examines passages in Plutarch’s works that foil expectations and whose silence invites closer examination. The contributors question omissions of authors, works, people, and places, and they examine Plutarch’s reticence to comment where he usually would.
Frederick E. Brenk on Plutarch, Religious Thinker and Biographer
Frederick E. Brenk, Plutarch, Religious Thinker and Biographer: “The Religious Spirit of Plutarch of Chaironeia” and “The Life of Mark Antony” includes the updated and revised version of two seminal articles on Plutarch’s Lives and Moralia by F. E. Brenk originally published in ANRW.
Theater and Politics in Plutarch's Parallel Lives
The first major work to uncover Plutarch's deliberate and sophisticated use of theatrical imagery in the Parallel Lives as a means to explore the mechanisms and ethics of politics and civic life across Greco-Roman history.
Plutarch and the New Testament in Their Religio-Philosophical Contexts
“Bridging Discourses in the World of the Early Roman Empire" is a fitting description of both the religio-philosophical spirit of Plutarch and the task of bringing his writings into fruitful dialogue with the New Testament and Early Christian writings. The contributions in this volume explore various ways of how to do it.
Plutarch and His Contemporaries
The volume puts into the spotlight overlaps between Plutarch and other imperial writers. By examining the Plutarchan corpus within the context of contemporary literary production, it contributes to our understanding of the empire's culture in general, and Plutarch in particular.
