Reviews
With this book C. P. Jones does for Lucian what he has done previously for Plutarch and Dio Chrysostom: he situates a literary figure in a vividly realized historical landscape, the Roman Empire of the second century A.D., using his vast knowledge of the epigraphic remains, political history, and written records of the era. Like Jones' earlier works, this book should be useful to students of later antiquity, especially those interested in the complex literary and artistic world of the Greek East., [Culture and Society of Lucian] is obligatory reading for scholars interested in the Greek world of the early imperial period and its literature., The works of Lucian of Samosata, the second-century satirist, are not only a delight to the reader, but they also provide a wealth of information regarding the culture and society of the Greek and Roman world. As his previous studies on Plutarch and Dio Chrysostom have shown, C.P. Jones is eminently equipped to guide modern readers, as it must be done in every generation anew, to the words of Lucian. For the scholar already familiar with the author, there is plenty of new information and new insights.
