Description:
The papers of the compelling conference held in Nottingham in 1998 are now available in volume 6 of the series NCLS (Nottingham Classical Literature Studies) by Levante Editori. This is a very important book for all who are interested in better understanding an unfortunately often-neglected topic, Monsters and Monstrosity in Greek and Roman Culture. In fact, despite the enormous bibliography on each specific monster, not much has been said until now about what a monster is, what it represents and why it is “good to think with”. Five recognized British scholars (Ray J. Clare, Alan H. Sommerstein, Ismene Lada-Richards, Richard Buxton and Ken Dowden) analyse and apply modern interpretation to different themes dealing with the main topic in order to reach an answer that is probably fated to remain not univocal.
