Literary Language & Its Public in Late Latin Antiquity and in the Middle AgesPrinceton University Press, 06/06/1993 - 405 من الصفحات In this, his final book, Erich Auerbach writes, "My purpose is always to write history." Tracing the transformations of classical Latin rhetoric from late antiquity to the modern era, he explores major concerns raised in his Mimesis: the historical and social contexts in which writings were received, and issues of aesthetics, semantics, stylistics, and sociology that anticipate the concerns of the new historicism. |
