- catalog abstract "Apuleius' wonderful Latin novel Metamorphoses, written in the second century C.E., has gained new attention with the genre of the ancient novel as a whole. In Crises and Conversion in Apuleius' Metamorphoses, Nancy Shumate builds on recent attempts to apply contemporary critical theory to the work. She uses an epistemologically oriented model of religious conversion to study the experiences of the novel's central characters, Lucius, who is turned into an ass and back again. Shumate draws on a wide range of literary and nonliterary representations of conversion to establish a useful theoretical framework for studying Apuleius' novel. The Metamorphoses emerges as a text that anticipates later narratives of conversion in its concern with the social construction of knowledge and the changing perspective of the narrator as he moves from one cognitive world to the other.".
