Bradley discusses Apuleius’ work in the context of social relations (especially the family and household), religiosity in all its diversity and complexity, and cultural interactions between the imperial centre and the provincial periphery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese essays examine the \u003cem\u003eApology\u003c\/em\u003e, the speech Apuleius made when he defended himself on the criminal charge of having enticed a wealthy widow to marry him through magical means; the fragments of his speeches known as the \u003cem\u003eFlorida\u003c\/em\u003e; and the remarkable serio-comic novel \u003cem\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e (better known as \u003cem\u003eThe Golden Ass\u003c\/em\u003e).
