In this book on intertextuality in Pliny the Younger, Professor Marchesi invites an alternative reading of Pliny's collection of private epistles: the letters are examined as the product of an authorial strategy controlling both the rhetorical fabric of individual units and their arrangement in the collection. By inserting recognisable fragments of canonical authors into his epistles, Pliny imports into the still fluid practice of letter-writing the principles of composition and organisation that for his contemporaries characterised other writings as literature. Allusions become the occasion for a metapoetic dialogue, especially with the collection's privileged addressee, Tacitus. An active participant in the cultural politics of his time, Pliny entrusts to the letters his views on poetry, oratory and historiography. In defining a model of epistolography alternative to Cicero's and complementing those of Horace, Ovid and Seneca, he also successfully carves a niche for his work in the Roman literary canon.

Pliny's Women provides a comprehensive consideration of the many women who appear in the letters of Pliny the Younger. Combining detailed prosopography with close literary analysis, Jacqueline Carlon examines the identities of the women whom Pliny includes and how they and the men with whom they are associated contribute both to this presentation of exemplary Romans and particularly to his own self-promotion. Virtually all of the named women in Pliny's nine-book corpus are considered. They form six distinct groups: those associated with opposition to the principate; the family of Pliny's mentor, Corellius Rufus; his own family members; women involved in testamentary disputes; ideal wives; and women of unseemly character. Detailed analysis of each letter mentioning women includes the identity of its recipient and everyone named within, its disposition within the collection, Pliny's language and style, and its significance to our perception of the changing social fabric of the early principate.

Die Untersuchung bemüht sich, die im allgemeinen vernachlässigte künstlerische Form der Briefe des jüngeren Plinius herauszustellen. Behandelt werden folgende Themen: Exempla antiquitatis (Würdigungen großer Männer, die noch die alte Zeit verkörpern und für Plinius vorbildhaft sind: Verginius Rufus, Titius Aristo, Antoninus Arrianus, Cornutus Tertullus), Verfall der individuellen Freiheit nicht nur unter Domitian, sondern auch unter Trajan, des Senats und der Redekunst der Gegenwart, bedeutende Schriftsteller in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart (Cicero, Plinius der Ältere, Silius Italicus, Martial), humanitas im Umgang mit anderen (sowohl mit anderen Völkern als auch mit Frauen und Sklaven), schließlich die Villa als geistiger Lebensraum und die Rezeption der Landschaft. Plinius spricht jeweils aus einem dezidiert eigenen Blickwinkel heraus. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich ein Gesamtbild seiner geistigen Persönlichkeit sowie der kulturellen Bedingungen der Epoche, da das Einverständnis der Adressaten aus dem Senatorenstand vorauszusetzen ist.

"Pliny's Panegyricus (AD 100) survives as a unique example of senatorial rhetoric from the early Roman Empire. It offers an eyewitness account of the last years of Domitian's principate, the reign of Nerva and Trajan's early years, and it communicates a detailed senatorial view on the behaviour expected of an emperor. It is an important document in the development of the ideals of imperial leadership, but it also contributes greatly to our understanding of imperial political culture more generally. This volume, the first ever devoted to the Panegyricus, contains expert studies of its key historical and rhetorical contexts, as well as important critical approaches to the published version of the speech and its influence in antiquity. It offers scholars of Roman history, literature and rhetoric an up-to-date overview of key approaches to the speech, and students and interested readers an authoritative introduction to this vital and under-appreciated speech"--
