Omschrijving
The Art of Complicity in Martial and Statius examines the relationship between politics and aesthetics in two poets from the reign of Domitian. Gunderson argues that power and politics are intimately involved in Latin praise poetry.
...indispensable reading not only for students of Roman poetry but also for those interested in the inevitable distortions to which poetic language becomes subjected in any totalitarian culture.
Erik Gunderson holds a PhD in Classics from the University of California, Berkeley. He formerly taught at the Department of Greek and Latin at Ohio State University, and has been at the University of Toronto since 2007. He is the author of six monographs, an edited volume, and a number of articles covering a variety of aspects of the literature and culture of the Roman era. His research focuses on the ancient self and its relationship to institutions, including games, theater, education, and the field of cultural production.
