Pestilence and the Body Politic in Latin Literature

Auteur: Gardner, Hunter H. (Associate Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature, Associate Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature, University of South Carolina)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
Roman writers of the late Roman Republic and early Empire developed important conventions of the western plague narrative as a response to the destabilization of the body politic. This volume examines how they used largely fictive representations of epidemic disease to address the collapse of the social order and suggest remedies for its recovery.
