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.

Biblia hebrea en la literatura, La. Guía temática y bibliográfica

La Biblia hebrea, uno de los modelos vertebradores de la cultura occidental, ha ejercido un influjo constante en el imaginario de su creación artística. Y esto, en todos sus ámbitos (pintura, iluminación, escultura, música, cinematografía), pero de manera especial en el literario. El teatro nace en el medievo como «representación» de temes y personajes bíblicos; innumerables obras literarias (poéticas, dramáticas y narrativas) de siglos posteriores hallaron en la Biblia hebrea, no solo argumentos de representación del pasado, sino sobre todo «arquetipos» de valor universal...
