AUTHOR

Stanley E. Hoffer

SUMMARY

This book provides a new understanding of Pliny's letters by combining historical analysis of the social pressures that shape Pliny's authorial pose with close literary analysis of the letters themselves. It demonstrates how ruling-class ideology is disseminated and how it shapes the literary persona and personal identity of a ruling-class member. The powerful heuristic tool of examining the interplay between confidence and anxieties in the letters will help restore Pliny's relatively neglected masterpiece to a more prominent place in undergraduate Latin and Roman Civilization courses.Stanley E. Hoffer is the author of 'The Anxieties Of Pliny the Younger (American Classical Studies)', published 1999 under ISBN 9780788505652 and ISBN 0788505653.
