The Dynamics of Intertextuality in Plutarch explores the numerous aspects and functions of intertextual links both within the Plutarchan corpus itself (intratextuality) and in relation with other authors, works, genres or discourses of Ancient Greek literature (interdiscursivity, intergenericity) as well as non-textual sources (intermateriality). Thirty-six chapters by leading specialists set Plutarch within the framework of modern theories on intertextuality and its various practical applications in Plutarchs Moralia and Parallel Lives. Specific intertextual devices such as quotations, references, allusions, pastiches and other types of intertextual play are highlighted and examined in view of their significance for Plutarchs literary strategies, argumentative goals, educational program, and self-presentation.
Recenzijos
"In conclusione, il volume rappresenta un contributo significativo agli studi su Plutarco, in particolare per quello che riguarda gli aspetti letterari della sua vasta produzione. La metodologia adottata si rivela duttile e capace di illuminare aspetti poco frequentati del corpus plutarcheo, rifuggendo in generale dal rischio di una eccessiva schematicitą. [ ...] Il risultato č una panoramica esaustiva, intelligente e aggiornata rispetto al tema dellintertestualitą in Plutarco, nonché uno strumento facilmente consultabile per chi volesse approfondire le singole sfaccettature del problema nel complesso del corpus plutarcheo." Francesco Padovani, BMCR 2021.02.37.
