[publicclassics] Being Alone in Antiquity

[Rafal Matuszewski]

Dear Colleagues,

I am very pleased to announce the publication of:

Rafał Matuszewski (ed.), 
Being Alone in Antiquity. Greco-Roman Ideas and Experiences of Misanthropy, Isolation and Solitude
IX + 470 pp., 2 figs., De Gruyter: Berlin/Boston
print ISBN: 9783110757934
ebook ISBN: 9783110758078

This volume aims to provide an interdisciplinary examination of various facets of being alone in Greco-Roman antiquity. Its focus is on solitude, social isolation and misanthropy, and the differing perceptions and experiences of, and varying meanings and connotations attributed to, them in the ancient world. Individual chapters examine a range of ancient contexts in which problems of solitude, loneliness, isolation and seclusion arose and were discussed, and in doing so shed light on some of humankind’s fundamental needs, fears and values.
