The Afterlife of Apuleius

by Florence Bistagne; Carole Boidin; Raphaële Mouren (editors)

About this book

Florence Bistagne, Carole Boidin and Raphaële Mouren edit studies of the reception of Apuleius and his writings. The collection follows the ways later readers, translators and artists have interpreted and reused his work.

Contributions examine literary transformations and the movement of texts across languages, periods and cultural settings. Their focus is the continuing afterlife of ancient writing rather than a new edition of the ancient novels themselves. Published in 2021, the volume brings together scholarly essays with bibliographical references and indexes.
