Sina Dell'Anno's "satura - Monstrous Writing in Antiquity and Enlightenment" is published
In her dissertation written as a member of the Doctoral Program in Literary Studies, alumna Dr. Sina Dell'Anno examined the textual tradition of "satura." Now her work has been published in the series "Theory of Prose" by De Gruyter Verlag.
Under the name satura a 'monstrous' textual tradition characterized by wild hybridity and intertextual hypertrophy comes into view. In studies of Lucilius, Varro, Horace, Petron, Martianus Capella, Hamann, Jean Paul, and others, Sina Dell'Anno approaches this tradition anew by focusing on the notorious informality of satirical texts as the motor of their autophilological poetics.
Sina Dell'Anno: 'satura' - Monstrous Writing in Antiquity and the Enlightenment. Lucilius, Varro, Horace, Petron, Martianus Capella, Hamann, Jean Paul. Published in the series "Theory of Prose" by De Gruyter Verlag. 658 pages.
