520 "Imperial Latin epic has seen a renaissance of scholarly
interest. This book illuminates the work of the poet Lucan,
a contemporary of the emperor Nero. This maverick but
socially prominent poet, whom Nero commanded to commit
suicide at the age of 26, left an epic poem on the civil
war between Caesar and Pompey that epitomizes the
exuberance and stylistic experimentation of Neronian
culture. This study focuses on Lucan's epic technique and
traces his influence through the Middle Ages and the
Renaissance. Martin Dinter's newest volume engages with
Lucan's use of body imagery, sententiae, Fama (rumor), and
open-endedness throughout his civil war epic. Although
Lucan's Bellum Civile is frequently decried as a
fragmented as well as fragmentary epic, this study
demonstrates how Lucan uses devices other than teleology
and cohesive narrative structure to bind together the many
parts of his epic body. Anatomizing Civil War places at
center stage characteristics of Lucan's work that have so
far been interpreted as excessive, or as symptoms of an
overly rhetorical culture indicating a lack of substance.
By demonstrating that they all contribute to Lucan's
poetic technique, Martin Dinter shows how they play a
fundamental role in shaping and connecting the many
episodes of the Bellum Civile that constitute Lucan's epic
body. This important volume will be of interest to
students of classics and comparative literature as well as
literary scholars. All Greek and Latin passages have been
translated"--|cProvided by publisher.
