This is a phenomenon born of the sense that the work was there to consult, or to 'use', as a resource to aid investigation of specific technical issues or passages, of Quellenforschung, or of delimited topic areas. The contributors to the present volume both represent and join a new generation of critics who have begun to try to 'read' this monumental text, and - by examining the dominant motifs which give shape and order to the work - to construct frameworks within which we may understand and interpret Pliny's overarching agenda.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47602265784471,"sku":"9789004202344","price":19037.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004202344.webp?v=1775011098","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pliny-the-elder-themes-and-contexts-9789004202344","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
