« Les remarques les plus intelligentes jamais écrites sur la littérature », soutenait Nabokov. « Je crois qu'on n'a jamais rien écrit de plus beau et de plus profond », s'émerveillait le philosophe William James. « Quant à moi, je place au-dessus de tout “Un chapitre sur les rêves” », répétait Borges. Et l'on montrerait aisément que les thèses développées par le grand écrivain argentin dans ses fameux textes des années 1940 sur la fiction viennent directement de ces Essays on the Art of Writing… Stevenson essayiste ? Théoricien de la littérature ? La France, curieusement, l'avait jusqu'ici ignoré. Et pourtant, L'Île au trésor fut bien publié, aussi, comme un manifeste littéraire, encadré, prolongé par une série de textes qui constituent la réflexion la plus novatrice de l'époque sur l'art du roman. La presse unanime a salué l'édition française de ces Essais (sans équivalent, d'ailleurs, en langue anglaise) comme un événement : le seul ensemble théorique d'envergure jamais écrit sur la littérature d'aventures -– et, au-delà, sur ce « frisson aventureux » où Stevenson voyait l'essence même de la fiction.

The Roman Empire during the reigns of Septimius Severus and his successors (AD 193-225) enjoyed a remarkably rich and dynamic cultural life. It saw the consolidation of the movement known as the second sophistic, which had flourished during the second century and promoted the investigation and reassessment of classical Greek culture. It also witnessed the emergence of Christianity on its own terms, in Greek and in Latin, as a major force extending its influence across literature, philosophy, theology, art and even architecture. This volume offers the first wide-ranging and authoritative survey of the culture of this fascinating period when the background of Rome's rulers was for the first time non-Italian. Leading scholars discuss general trends and specific instances, together producing a vibrant picture of an extraordinary period of cultural innovation rooted in ancient tradition.

This book develops a new theory for the understanding of Roman pictorial art. By treating Roman art as a semantic system it establishes a connection between artistic forms and the ideological messages contained within. The history of Roman art traditionally followed the model of a sequence of stylistic phases affecting the works of their era in the manner of a uniform Zeitgeist. By contrast, the author shows different stylistic forms being used for different themes and messages. The reception of Greek models, a key phenomenon of Roman art, thus appear in a new light. The formulations of specific messages are established from Greek art types of different eras serving to express Roman ideological values: classical forms for the grandeur of the state, Hellenistic forms for the struggling effort of warfare. In this way a conceptual and comprehensible pictorial language arose, uniting the multicultural population of the Roman state.
