This book examines the poetry of Statius (c. 40-96 AD), in relation
to significant social and cultural issues of his day, in particular
shifting attitudes to Hellenism, gender and Roman imperialism. It
also discusses the reception of Statius' poetry in the Middle Ages,
when his reputation was at its zenith. Medieval interpretations of
Statius' epics suggest that their popularity rested in part on the
prominence they give to female action and the female voice, thus
suggesting new expressive and generic possibilities.
