Description
Summary:Addressed to readers of modern literature as well as to those interested in Greco-Roman literature and in religious history, "Auctor and Actor" examines Apuleius's "The Golden Ass" as an early example of self-consciousness in narrative. Entering into the spirit of the novel's crafty playfulness, John Winkler carries the reader on a journey that is, like that of the hero Lucius, both entertaining and enlightening.
