The Unity of Plutarch's Work

Sinopsis del Libro

This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's oeuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

Veinte años de literatura cubanoamericana

This work is premised on the assumption that the time that has transpired since the original exodus after the Cuban Revolution has been sufficient to establish a definable Cuban American literature. This volume, which includes 29 authors writing in Spanish who have lived in the United States since at least 1970, is wide ranging in its aspirations and provides samples of the two fundamental components of Cuban American literature.

Compendio de literatura comparada

Aunque nacida en diferentes países, la literatura tiene diversos denominadores comunes que, en definitiva, la hacen universal. Pero esa universalidad es obra de mutuos influjos y de interrelaciones dispares. Compararlas es el objeto de esta nueva disciplina, la literatura comparada, de la que este libro colectivo es introducción teórica e interesante muestrario de casos ejemplares.

Cultura literaria y políticas de mercado

The volume addresses three key aspects of today’s book culture: independent publishing, book fairs and literary festivals. Using an innovative theoretical framework (a literary "value criticism"), it offers an in-depth field study of some 349 independent publishers as well as 10 book fairs and festivals in Spain and the Americas to shed light on new production, circulation and reception processes in contemporary literary culture.

Gabriela Mistral

Como ver con ojos nuevos a una escritora sobre quien se ha dicho todo, o por lo menos sobre quien se tiene la impresion de que todo ha sido dicho? Lo que es mas: una escritora que colaboro ella misma, con ejemplar constancia, a que quedara de si una imagen sabiamente compuesta, convincente en su misma calculada simplicidad: en una palabra, imperturbable? A esta pregunta responde, con ejemplar rigor intelectual e imaginacion critica, este libro de Lila Zemborain. No satisfecha con los cliches de lectura que han fijado a Gabriela Mistral en su eternidad, Zemborain desmonta el monumento, toma a...
