Unruly Eloquence. Lucian and the Comedy of Traditions. - BRACHT BRANHAM, R.,
Lucian and the comedy of traditions
KORTE INHOUD
'In this learned and original book, Branham argues that too much interest has been taken in Lucian's sources and topicality and not enough in his literary aims and methods ant the qualities which distinguish him as a 'serio-comic' writer. B.'s chief interests and contributions are on the subject of humour, not only that of L. but also on the theories about 'to geleion' held by Plato and Aristotle and the views on humour held by a variety of post-war scholars (...). B. offers a series of well-informed and thought-provoking studies. Though not for undergraduates, his work deserves serious study by those with a specialised interest in the Antonine Age.' (MATTHEW MACLEOD in The Classical Review (New Series), 1990, pp.250-251). From the library of Prof. Carl Deroux.
