The Unity of Plutarch's Work

Sinopsis 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.

Memoriales y divagaciones

Las memorias del intelectual y escritor Romero Murube son, como dice Juan Lamillar en el prólogo, una declaración de amor a la ciudad de Sevilla, tratando en especial de los Reales Alcázares; manifestándose su autor como uno de los primeros intelectuales en denunciar la destrucción del patrimonio histórico de Sevilla.

Biblioteca Americana

Liliana Weinberg recupera desde sus orígenes el proyecto de la Biblioteca Americana del Fondo de Cultura Económica, fundada por Pedro Henríquez Ureña.
