<p>“It offers a nice mixture of new discussions, including some that will be useful for students and the uninitiated, some that will provoke further research, and a number that will stand as important contributions to the field in their own right.”  (<i>Bryn Mawr Classical Review</i>, 19 June 2015)</p> <p>“Ending with a chapter looking at the influence of the ancient novel on modern film, the Companionforms a full circle in its assessment of forms of entertainment, while also demonstrating, in spite of its apparent rarity, that the ancient novel continues to exert a strong influence on modern storytellers, their means of, and inspirations for, storytelling.”  (<i>Reference Reviews</i>, 1 December 2014</p> <p> </p>
<p><b>Shannon N. Byrne</b> is Professor of Classics at Xavier University.</p> <p><b>Edmund P. Cueva</b> is Professor of Classics and Humanities at the University of Houston-Downtown. Together, they have coedited several books, including of <i>Authors, Authority and Interpreters in the Ancient Novel: Essays in Honor of Gareth L. Schmeling </i>(with J. Alvares, 2006), <i>Longus: Text, Commentary and Vocabulary </i>(2005), and <i>Humor and Classical Literature</i> (2002).</p>
<p>Cleverly bisecting the over-extension and highly focused specialism of other texts on the ancient novel, this companion brings together the most up-to-date international scholarship on the classical world’s prototypical achievements in narrative fiction. Chapters on individual classical authors such as Petronius, Xenophon and Apuleius sit alongside a wide-ranging thematic analysis and ground-breaking exploration of developments in authorial expression and readership of the ancient novel form.</p> <p>Reflecting the on-going cultural significance of the ancient novel, with its close relevance to modern studies of fiction and literary theory, not to mention the cultural precepts of linguistic, psychological and sociological research, this comprehensive work promises to be an important resource for students and scholars for years to come.</p>
