Description
Beyond the Second Sophistic: Adventures in Greek Postclassicism By Tim Whitmarsh, published by Univ of California Press in 2013. This book challenges traditional views of Greek literature from 300 BCE onwards. Whitmarsh explores popular fiction, poetry and Greco-Jewish material to reveal a rich, dynamic culture that defies simple categorization. By examining playful, imaginative texts often overlooked in traditional accounts, Whitmarsh offers a fresh perspective on later Greek culture. Accessible and engaging, this book will appeal to scholars of Greek literature and culture, Hellenistic Judaism, world literature, and cultural theory. It provides a new way of understanding the complexities of Greek heritage, one that moves beyond Eurocentric and aristocratic constructions.
