Sinopse

This text treats Pliny's private epistles neither as a mere source of historical and social information, nor as a portrait of the artist, but as a work of literature. It studies poetic allusion in epistolary prose, thereby illuminating the cultural debates about poetry, oratory and historiography in Pliny's day.
