Alessandro Barchiesi (Stanford University)
Forty-Seventh Annual Charles Alexander Robinson Lecture
"Apuleius the Provincial"
There is wide agreement that the rise of the modern novel has something to do with the idea of the 'provincial' - a way of life, a style, a representation of space and national identity, a mediation between centers and peripheries. The novel of Apuleius, The Metamorphoses, is a rare example of a work from Classical antiquity that develops an approach to a 'provincial' identity, and addresses the relationship between centers and provinces (a concept different from 'margins' or 'peripheries'). In this respect, the Latin novel of Apuleius is one of the very few texts that can be assessed as 'Imperial literature' in a sense that goes beyond mere periodization or chronology.
