The staff at De Gruyter also deserves a special mention for their precise professional work and support during the publication process: Dr. The editors are particularly grateful to the contributers themselves, who exhibited exemplary patience during the long process of editing and revising. Without their friendly and continuous support, careful reading and editing of the papers, and generous commitment, it would not been possible to bring this project to completion. First, I want to offer my warm gratitude to my fellow editors, David Konstan and Bruce MacQueen, to whom this publication owes so much. A special word of recognition goes to all those who have generously contributed their time and effort to bring about this publication. Focussing on the crossing of cultures, languages, races and mentalities, this volume introduces a wide array of topics that characterize the novelistic genre and are simultaneously at the centre of contemporary cultural debates: spaces, frontiers, and intersections, which serve as metaphors for a host of questions, concerns and issues. The ancient novel has increasingly become a crucial element in the interpretation of ancient culture, identity, reading practices, and the history of the modern genre as well. The papers assembled in this volume reflect the accelerated pace of scholarly research in one of the most innovative and fast-growing fields of study in classical and comparative studies. © 2018 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston Editorial Office: Alessia Ferreccio and Katerina Zianna Logo: Christopher Schneider, Laufen Printing: CPI books GmbH, Leck ♾ Printed on acid-free paper Printed in Germany Acknowledgements This volume is the eighth in a series of thematically organized papers, presenting to an international academic public a selection from the 280 papers originally delivered at the Fourth International Conference on the Ancient Novel (ICAN IV), which was held at the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, in Lisbon, in July 2008.
