Roman Literature, Gender and Reception

Angebote / Angebote:

This cutting-edge collection of essays offers provocative studies of ancient history, literature, gender identifications and roles, and subsequent interpretations of the republican and imperial Roman past. The prose and poetry of Cicero and Petronius, Lucretius, Virgil, and Ovid receive fresh interpretations, pagan and Christian texts are re-examined from feminist and imaginative perspectives, genres of epic, didactic, and tragedy are re-examined, and subsequent uses and re-uses of the ancient heritage are probed with new attention: Shakespeare, Nineteenth Century American theater, and contemporary productions involving prisoners and veterans.
