The literary qualities of Sidonius' letters, however, have only recently become the focus of research. This book places this aspect centre stage, considering Sidonius' rich intertextuality with other authors, especially Pliny the Younger.\u003cbr\u003eThis critical edition comprises a newly edited Latin text of the second book of Sidonius Apollinaris' \u003ci\u003eEpistulae\u003c\/i\u003e, a modern English translation and a literary, linguistic and historical commentary on the fourteen letters. The detailed commentary focuses on the literary Sidonius and his broad education and offers a narratological analysis of the text, highlighting its role as a book of leisure in the overarching collection of letters. The introduction focuses on the latest research on the second book of the \u003ci\u003eEpistulae\u003c\/i\u003e and shows how it is carefully anchored within the wider nine-book collection of letters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Hindermann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399506315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399506311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Judith Hindermann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640771105023,"sku":"9781399506311","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_94efae5d-8337-4874-b8bd-62fe5f64e0b2.jpg?v=1740670475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sidonius-apollinaris-letters-book-2-judith-hindermann-9781399506311","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
