The genre is the comic romance, the literature of relaxation in the ancient world. In this book the author defines the genre and sets it in the context of other forms of fiction then being written, demonstrating that both Petronius and Apuleius introduced important innovations into the traditional comic romance. He then goes on to provide a critical analysis of the Satyricon, with a separate chapter on Trimalchio’s feast, the central and most richly comic episode of the book. The Golden Ass is similarly studied, again with special analysis of its centrepiece, the story of Cupid and Psyche. The final chapter assesses the later influence of the two novels on the main stream of European picaresque fiction. ; 0.87 x 8.86 x 5.79 Inches; 286 pages
