Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the epistles of Alciphron, a Greek sophist, rhetor, and philosopher who lived and wrote in the second century CE. As his epistles are typical of the genre, the author analyses them in order to illustrate the epistolary art as it was cultivated during the Second Sophistic period. This study examines how Alciphron's epistles mirror the style and approach of earlier authors as well as some of the concerns of the time such as society, the role of women, the importance of the individual versus the collective, and the clash between tradition and modernity. A selection of these epistles are translated in order to provide a selection of Alciphron's work for those unfamiliar with it but who are interested in Greek literature or the epistolary form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780259435785_0
