Beschreibung:
This book explores corporeality as a metaphor and its implications for the unity of the text.
Usually seen just as an index of the 'low' genre of Petronius' Satyricon, corporeality is here explored as a metaphor and it is argued that, on the level of imagery, the text can be read as a unified whole rather than as an episodic jumble.
