Hartmut Wulfram

Within the scope of the Greek-Latin Alexander romance, the The exploits of Alexander the Great
by Julius Valerius (early fourth century CE) stand out due to their
high literary and stylistic standards. The eleven contributions in this
edited volume primarily focus on issues of narrative technique,
linguistic design, and intertextuality, thereby illustrating the unique
features and rank of this often-neglected work in literary history.
