Latin plays were written for audiences whose gender perspectives
and expectations were shaped by life in Rome, and the crowds
watching the plays included both female citizens and female slaves.
Relationships between men and women, ideas of masculinity and
femininity, the stock characters of dowered wife and of
prostitute-all of these are frequently staged in Roman tragedies
and comedies. This is the first book to confront directly the role
of women in Roman Republican plays of all genres, as well as to
examine the role of gender in the influence of this tradition on
later dramatists from Shakespeare to Sondheim.
