The core thread of these lectures is an argument that the Greek novel,which flourished from the late first century to the fourth, draws themes and ideas from then-nascent Christianity. It can get useful to have a reference to the novels themselves on hand (such as Reardon's). Overall, an interesting if shortish book, covering texts which are not part of the most common classical education (with the one exception of the Philoctetes). ( ) This book is not a piece of light entertainment. Bowersock's ingenious investigation into the interweaving of Secular Roman literature in the period 100 - 250 CE, has value for the specialist in the field. The argument is fun to follow, and for those with the Latin background and library to follow up on it, quite intriguing. The 2 star rating is based on the probable lack of wide appeal. It is certainly a literate work. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Using pagan fiction produced in Greek and Latin during the early Christian era, G. W. Bowersock investigates the complex relationship between "historical" and "fictional" truths. This relationship preoccupied writers of the second century, a time when apparent fictions about both past and present were proliferating at an astonishing rate and history was being invented all over again. With force and eloquence, Bowersock illuminates social attitudes of this period and persuasively argues that its fiction was influenced by the emerging Christian Gospel narratives. Enthralling in its breadth and enhanced by two erudite appendices, this is a book that will be warmly welcomed by historians and interpreters of literature.
