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.

El valor de la disidencia

Este epistolario es un desafío a la imagen convencional y más plana de la cultura española bajo el franquismo: sus autores describen, tal vez sin saberlo, el recorrido interior de nuestra vida intelectual desde los orígenes del fascismo -antes de la Guerra Civil- como ruptura violenta del orden burgués hasta la maduración democrática de una sociedad literaria y política. El pivote humano del libro es Dionisio Ridruejo, el hombre que mejor encarnó aquella transición razonada y solvente desde la Falange totalitaria a la socialdemocracia sin dejar de ser poeta, ensayista y gran...

Religión, política y ciencia en la obra de César Vallejo

C sar Vallejo is one of the finest poets of Latin America, and his poetry has managed to maintain a broad readership base right up until the modern day. Since Vallejo's posthumous poems were first published in 1939 in an edition supervised by his widow, Georgette de Vallejo, there remain to this day a number of unanswered questions about them. In what order did Vallejo write the poems? Would he have published the poems as they are? This book, by a careful analysis of the evidence available, proposes a new chronology for the posthumous poems, suggesting that the Peruvian poet's work went...
