It demonstrates how ruling-class ideology is disseminated and how it shapes the literary persona and personal identity of a ruling-class member. The powerful heuristic tool of examining the interplay between confidence and anxieties in the letters will help restore Pliny's relatively neglected masterpiece to a more prominent place in undergraduate Latin and Roman Civilization courses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47813635211415,"sku":"9780788505652","price":6502.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780788505652.webp?v=1778337333","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-anxieties-of-pliny-the-younger-9780788505652","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
