This volume is a collection of papers presented at the conference I generi letterari nell’età dei Flavi. Canoni, trasformazioni, ricezione, held in Turin, September 2013. As is inevitably the case with collective books in which studies delivered at meetings of researchers are published, the volume suffers from a certain imbalance; papers on the epic genre practically equal in number those devoted to other genres (literary history, encyclopaedism, oratory, epigram and occasional poetry). As Federica Bessone and Marco Fucecchi point out in the Introduction, the aim of this book is not to offer theoretical redefinitions of the concept of ‘genre’ but to show the complex interrelations that the Flavian poets establish between the genres consecrated by their predecessors. Many of the contributions herein give ample space to immanent literary history. This is logical, in the sense that literary self-consciousness is a prototypical feature of the Flavian authors. They proudly recognise the scope of their innovations and their ability to confer the status of high literature on the new genres that they create or recreate; and, above all, they are aware of their mastery in putting polyeideia and uarietas into practice. All this means that, in the Flavian age, the boundaries between genres are blurred to an unprecedented extent. Yet it is also the reason why Flavian authors adopt a constant self-positioning towards previous and contemporary Greek and Roman production and, hence, through their explicit or oblique literary statements, that they are reliable spokespersons of an immanent approach to the history of Greco-Roman literature.
