Ellen Finkelpearl's Metamorphosis of Language in Apuleius studies the use of literary allusion by the Roman author Apuleius. This study argues that Apuleius' repeated allusions to earlier Latin authors such as Vergil, Ovid, and Seneca represent an exploration on his part of the relationship between the novel and more established genres of the era. A new reading of Isis is offered, which emphasizes her associations with writing and matches the multiformity of the goddess with the novel's many voices. Ellen D. Finkelpearl is Associate Professor of Classics at Scripps College, Claremont, California.

Finkelpearl is Associate Professor of Classics at Scripps College, Claremont, California. Slide 43 Christys version Ellen Finkelpearls book is an examination of literary language used in Apuleius Metamorphosis. One chapter that focuses on the reading of isolated allusions is particularly interesting because it discusses the difficulties that readers and critics alike have on agreeing upon the existence of certain allusions narrated in the novel. Finkelpearl is a professor of Classics and an expert on Apuleius and has written eight articles on the topic of Metamorphosis. The essays contained in her book are well documented with scholarly citations. This book is cited in three other articles that I have looked at on this topic. The work concludes by stating that there are a variety of perspectives offered in the allusions appearing in Metamorphosis. (117words) Slide 44 Recap Refer to Assignment Sheet for requirements.
