| Opplysninger | Menippus; or, The Consultation of the Corpses --. - "New translations of three of Lucian's texts from antiquity are assembled here to support a brief discussion of the origins, nature, and history of a literary genre: Menippean satire. This volume is a contribution to Menippean studies, translations of the only works surviving from antiquity in which Menippus appears as a character. The three pieces as presented here in a biographical sequence tell a brief but coherent story about Menippus and the constraints imposed upon him by Lucian; introductory essays and the brief interpretive Afterword offer cautionary considerations concerning the usefulness of attaching Menippus's name to Menippean movements. A bibliography is also included"--
