Since antiquity, the she-wolf has served as the potent symbol of
Rome. For more than two thousand years, the legendary animal that
rescued Romulus and Remus has been the subject of historical and
political accounts, literary treatments in poetry and prose, and
visual representations in every medium. In She-Wolf: The Story of a
Roman Icon, Cristina Mazzoni examines the evolution of the she-wolf
as a symbol in western history, art, and literature, from antiquity
to contemporary times. Used, for example, as an icon of Roman
imperial power, papal authority, and the distance between the
present and the past, the she-wolf has also served as an allegory
for greed, good politics, excessive female sexuality, and, most
recently, modern, multi-cultural Rome. Mazzoni engagingly analyzes
the various role guises of the she-wolf over time in the first
comprehensive study in any language on this subject.
