Reviews"The book is convincing, well written, and a model of methodology." -- Marie - Pierre Bussières, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "J.'s comprehensive study is a serious and timely piece of scholarship that will make a difference in the study of the Greek novel and the reception of Latin authors in the Greek world." -- Stefan Tilg, Journal of Roman Studies "This book is one of the most ambitious in recent scholarship on the Ancient Greek novel ... The large, intensely detailed product of Jolowicz's thorough investigations merits the scrutiny not only of experts on the Greek Novel but of scholars engaged in the broader question of (Roman) Greek intertextual affiliation with earlier Latin literary texts." -- Calum Maciver, Classical Journal "This groundbreaking and engagingly written book is a welcome addition to the corpus of scholarly literature on allusion and intertextuality in the ancient Greek novels." -- Jo Norton-Curry, Classical Review "Jolowicz's rigorously argued and methodologically convincing monograph deserves to be read widely, and with close attention." -- Malcolm Heath, Greece & Rome "The book is convincing, well written, and a model of methodology." -- Marie - Pierre Bussières, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, "J.'s comprehensive study is a serious and timely piece of scholarship that will make a difference in the study of the Greek novel and the reception of Latin authors in the Greek world." -- Stefan Tilg, Journal of Roman Studies"This book is one of the most ambitious in recent scholarship on the Ancient Greek novel ...

SynopsisLatin Poetry in the Ancient Greek Novels establishes and explores connections between Greek imperial literature and Latin poetry. This work challenges conventional thinking about literary and cultural interaction of the period, which assumes that imperial Greeks were not much interested in Roman cultural products (especially literature). Instead, it argues that Latin poetry is a crucially important frame of reference for Greek imperial literature. This has significant ramifications, bearing on the question of bilingual allusion and intertextuality, as well as on that of cultural interaction during the imperial period more generally. Three of these novels in particular-Chariton's Chaereas and Callirhoe, Achilles Tatius' Clitophon and Leucippe, and Longus' Daphnis and Chloe-are analysed for the extent to which they allude to Latin poetry, and for the effects (literary and ideological) of such allusion. After establishing the cultural context and parameters of the study, each chapter pursues the strategies of an individual novelist in connection with Latin poetry. The work offers the first book-length study of the role of Latin literature in Greek literary culture under the empire, and thus provides fresh perspectives and new approaches to the literature and culture of this period., Latin Poetry in the Ancient Greek Novels establishes and explores connections between Greek imperial literature and Latin poetry. The work offers the first book-length study of the role of Latin literature in Greek literary culture, and provides fresh perspectives and new approaches to the literature and culture of this period.
