This volume offers a long overdue appraisal of the dynamic interactions between Roman law and Latin literature. Despite there being periods of massive tectonic shifts in the legal and literary landscapes, the Republic and Empire of Rome have not until now been the focus of interdisciplinary study in this field. This volume brings vital new material to the attention of the law and literature movement. An interdisciplinary approach is at the heart of this volume: specialists in Roman law rarely engage in constructive dialogue with specialists in Latin literature and vice versa but this volume bridges that divide. It shows how literary scholars are eager to examine the importance of law in literature or the juridical nature of Latin literature, while Romanists are ready to embrace the interactions between literary and legal discourse. This collection capitalizes on the opportunity to open a fruitful dialogue between scholars of Latin literature and Roman law and thus makes a major, much-needed contribution to the growing field of law and literature.

Download The Politics of Latin Literature Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This is the first book to describe the intimate relationship between Latin literature and the politics of ancient Rome. Until now, most scholars have viewed classical Latin literature as a product of aesthetic concerns. Thomas Habinek shows, however, that literature was also a cultural practice that emerged from and intervened in the political and social struggles at the heart of the Roman world. Habinek considers major works by such authors as Cato, Cicero, Horace, Ovid, and Seneca. He shows that, from its beginnings in the late third century b.c. to its eclipse by Christian literature six hundred years later, classical literature served the evolving interests of Roman and, more particularly, aristocratic power. It fostered a prestige dialect, for example; it appropriated the cultural resources of dominated and colonized communities; and it helped to defuse potentially explosive challenges to prevailing values and authority. Literature also drew upon and enhanced other forms of social authority, such as patriarchy, religious ritual, cultural identity, and the aristocratic procedure of self-scrutiny, or existimatio. Habinek's analysis of the relationship between language and power in classical Rome breaks from the long Romantic tradition of viewing Roman authors as world-weary figures, aloof from mundane political concerns--a view, he shows, that usually reflects how scholars have seen themselves. The Politics of Latin Literature will stimulate new interest in the historical context of Latin literature and help to integrate classical studies into ongoing debates about the sociology of writing.

Download The Performance of Justice in Imperial Latin Literature Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This dissertation investigates the trial scene as a literary topos in early Imperial Latin Literature and how this topos reflects significant changes to the Roman legal system under the emperors. While past scholars have used historical and juristic sources to document what these changes to Roman law were, my dissertation analyzes literary evidence to understand how these changes were viewed by imperial authors. I argue that changes to the legal system are not only manifested in Latin literature but also that a study of the literature can help us better understand the cultural and societal impacts of changes to judicial procedure. Through the analysis and historical contextualization of trial scenes depicted in literature, I assert that imperial authors overwhelmingly represent the emperor in his role as judge (princeps iudex), and I assess accordingly the implications that this new source of legal authority has for a Roman understanding of truth and justice. More broadly, my research aims to bridge the gap between the study of Roman law and Latin literature by revealing that both disciplines evaluate how the Romans engaged in acts of truthseeking and of truthmaking.
