The Unity of Plutarch's Work

Ficha del Libro

This volume of collected essays explores the premise that Plutarch's work, notwithstanding its amazing thematic multifariousness, constantly pivots on certain ideological pillars which secure its unity and coherence. So, unlike other similar books which, more or less, concentrate on either the Lives or the Moralia or on some particular aspect(s) of Plutarch's oeuvre, the articles of the present volume observe Plutarch at work in both Lives and Moralia, thus bringing forward and illustrating the inner unity of his varied literary production. The subject-matter of the volume is uncommonly wide-ranging and the studies collected here inquire into many important issues of Plutarchean scholarship: the conditions under which Plutarch's writings were separated into two distinct corpora, his methods of work and the various authorial techniques employed, the interplay between Lives and Moralia, Plutarch and politics, Plutarch and philosophy, literary aspects of Plutarch's oeuvre, Plutarch on women, Plutarch in his epistemological and socio-historical context. In sum, this book brings Plutarchean scholarship to date by revisiting and discussing older and recent problematization concerning Plutarch, in an attempt to further illuminate his personality and work.

Adelante el divorcio

Anna Franchi publicó su novela Adelante el divorcio en 1902. Su convicción de la necesidad de la promulgación de una ley que permita la disolución del matrimonio y su actividad febril durante esos años para conseguir que ese sueño se hiciera realidad se integran perfectamente en un contexto, el de la Italia a caballo entre el siglo XIX y el XX, en el que desde el Feminismo, pero también desde el Parlamento, se lucha por la mejora sustancial de la condición de la mujer y por la consecución de los derechos más necesarios. Una batalla que, sin embargo, no va a dar fruto hasta décadas...
