This tightly focused collection of essays by a distinguished group
of scholars analyses the degree to which expressions of emotion in
ancient literature and art become an 'artistic' rather than a
'social' construct. To what degree do literary genres, philosophy
and visual arts produce expectations for the arousal of certain
emotions? Are the emotions of women, for example, represented
differently in different genres? How and why do literary genres and
visual arts concentrate on specific emotions and stylise them
accordingly, and how do particular emotions relate to gender within
literary texts? The book will be of interest to all students and
scholars of classical literature and gender studies. Contributors:
