| Summary |
"This open access edited volume offers an understanding of how ancient texts, ranging from the historical and biographical to the oratorical and epistolary, demonstrate the negotiation and renegotiation of the concepts of otherness, identity and culture. Drawing together new research from emerging and senior scholars from across the world, this book presents an up-to-date insight into notions of identity and otherness, both at the level of the individual and community, in the ancient world. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by FCT - Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., under the project Rome our Home: (Auto)biographical Tradition and the Shaping of Identity(ies) (PTDC/LLT-OUT/28431/2017)"-- Provided by publisher. |
