Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating world of anaphora, a rhetorical device where words or phrases are repeated at the beginning of successive sentences or clauses. The author focuses on its use in Silver Latin, a period of Roman literature known for its stylistic flourishes and rhetorical sophistication. While previous studies have acknowledged anaphora's ability to create emphasis, this book goes further by exploring how it amplifies general truths. The author argues that by analyzing a general concept into specific details, each marked by the repeated word, writers like Tacitus and Seneca effectively etched these truths into the minds of their audiences. The book meticulously examines various types of anaphora, categorized by the clarity of the general truth being amplified. Examples range from instances where the truth is explicitly stated to those where it is subtly implied or even left entirely to the reader's inference. The author also explores how anaphora can be used in contrasts and summaries, further demonstrating its versatility and power. Through a comprehensive analysis of numerous examples, this book sheds light on the intricate workings of anaphora, revealing its profound impact on shaping meaning and enhancing persuasion in Silver Latin literature.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
