The Anxieties Of Pliny the Younger - Society for Classical Studies American Classical Studies
Stanley E. Hoffer
This book provides a new understanding of Pliny's letters by combining historical analysis of the social pressures that shape Pliny's authorial pose with close literary analysis of the letters themselves. It demonstrates how ruling-class ideology is disseminated and how it shapes the literary persona and personal identity of a ruling-class member. The powerful heuristic tool of examining the interplay between confidence and anxieties in the letters will help restorePliny's relatively neglected masterpiece to a more prominent place in undergraduate Latin and Roman Civilization courses.
