Intercepted Letters: Epistolary and Narrative in Greek and Roman Literature

By Thomas E. Jenkins

Intercepted Letters examines the phenomenon of epistolarity within a range of classical Greek and Roman texts, with a focus on letters as symbols for larger, culturally constructed processes of reading and writing. Beginning with the myth of Palamedes and continuing through to the poets of the Roman period, Intercepted Letters examines the importance of epistolary motifs in narratives concerning power, voice, and interpretation.
