Book Description
In its original it is a masterpiece of rhetoric almost for rhetoric's sake, a travelogue of those seeking a meaning for their passions, a set of intertwining romances conceived in their purest form as "secular scripture," and at its core a cautionary tale about perception and hypocrisy that turns upon itself. It is also meant to be read aloud for public guffaws rather than privately for a few genteel snickers. Rather than merely providing another perfectly scholarly but exceedingly dull translation of what is supposed to be a knee-slapper, Relihan digs deep into the spirit of the piece, re-creating Apuleius's slyness, plays upon words and images, and irreverence that cloaks deep faith. He also provides a well-reasoned introductions for those to whom Apuleius and his panoply of significantly off-kilter and fleshly gods are strangers, making it much easier to get the jokes.

Book Description
This book provides the first general account of the works of the Latin writer Apuleius, most famous for his great novel the Metamorphoses or Golden Ass. Living in second-century North Africa, Apuleius was more than an author; he was an orator and professional intellectual, Platonist philosopher, extraordinary stylist, relentless self-promoter, as well as a versatile author of a remarkably diverse body of other work, much of which is lost to us.

Book Description
This book differs from previous studies in its scope, its insistence on a variety of approaches, its emphasis on the importance of genre, and its argument that the place of the literary tradition progresses through the book. This is the first attempt to link Apuleius' allusive practices with a consideration of the emergence of the novel and the consequent tensions in generic form. The chapters on Charite, the Phaedraesque stepmother, and Isis represent experimental new directions for the interpretation of Apuleius and literary influence.

Book Description
Is Cupid and Psyche a romance, a folktale, a Platonic allegory of the nature of the soul, a Jungian tale of individuation, or an archetypal dream? This volume provides Joel Relihan's lively translation of this best known section of Apuleius' Golden Ass, some useful and illustrative parallels, and an engaging discussion of what to make of this classic story.
