Complex Inferiorities: The Poetics of the Weaker Voice in Latin Literature
Sebastian; Matzner
The deliberate adoption of a 'weaker' voice by a speaker not obliged to do so is a widespread phenomenon in Latin literature. This volume traces this strategy across a range of genres, periods, and authors, exploring how it establishes, perpetuates, and challenges hierarchies and values in very different literary and cultural-political contexts.
