Some papers address the historical bearing of various literary works--Gallus on Caesar, Virgil and the \u003cem\u003eGospels\u003c\/em\u003e, and Ovid in exile--while other papers focus more on issues of style, symbolism, and the poetic address. In articles on prose, Nisbet considers the \u003cem\u003ereader's\u003c\/em\u003e contribution to the understanding of Cicero's speeches and the use of rhythm to determine the punctuation of Latin sentences. The collection ends with a critique of the current tendency to exaggerate the ambiguities of Roman poetry. Original, stimulating, and at times provocative, these papers represent some of the best in recent Latin scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47614849777815,"sku":"9780198149484","price":13090.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198149484.webp?v=1775096981","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/collected-papers-on-latin-literature-9780198149484","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
