Synopsis
This book analyzes the origins of a literary and cultural movement known as 'Frontonianism', during the 2nd century. Frontonianism was characterized by a focus on pre-classical Latin literature. Prior to the movement, from the time of Augustus onwards, a new school of writing had emerged that attempted to forge a distinctly Roman art form by promoting Greek culture. However, the author identifies the existence of a counter-current to this new school, which favored the restoration of literary standards prevalent before the Augustan era. Outlining the social, cultural, and literary context of this counter-current, the author traces its development through the 1st century AD, discussing key figures like Cesius Bassus, and how their work influenced the development of Frontonianism. The book demonstrates that Frontonianism was neither a sudden nor isolated phenomenon, but rather the culmination of a long-standing tradition of literary conservatism. By shedding light on the origins of Frontonianism, this book enhances our understanding of Latin literature and the complex cultural dynamics of the Roman Empire.
