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.
Comprising nineteen essays collectively honoring the feminist
Classical scholar Judith Hallett, this book will interest the
Classical scholar, the ancient historian, the student of Reception
Studies, and feminists interested in all periods. The authors from
the United States, Britain, France and Switzerland are authorities
in one or more of these fields and chapters range from the late
Republic to the late Empire to the present.
