- Book Synopsis
- Amanda Wilcox offers an innovative approach to two major collections of Roman letters - Cicero's Ad Familiares and Seneca's Moral Epistles - informed by modern cross-cultural theories of gift-giving. By viewing letters and the practice of correspondence as a species of gift exchange, Wilcox provides a nuanced analysis of neglected and misunderstood aspects of Roman epistolary rhetoric and the social dynamics of friendship in Cicero's correspondence.
