Book Description:
|
In the earlier Roman Empire much Greek prose followed one organized rhythmic system, a bit like poetry. This volume focuses on Plutarch's Lives and offers the first detailed study of prose-rhythm in later Greek literature; it demonstrates its importance as a dynamic means of expression and its untapped potential as a tool for literary analysis.
