Petronius and the anatomy of fiction /

Show other versions (1)

Usually seen just as an index of the 'low' genre of Petronius' Satyricon, corporeality is here for the first time explored as a metaphor and it is argued that, on the level of imagery, the text can be read as a unified whole rather than as an episodic jumble.
