The figure of Anna Perenna embodies the complexity and richness of
the Roman mythological tradition. In exploring Anna Perenna, the
contributors apply different perspectives and critical methods to
an array of compelling evidence drawn from central texts,
monuments, coins, and inscriptions that encapsulate Rome's shifting
artistic and political landscape. As a collection, Uncovering Anna
Perenna provides a unique examination that represents the
interdisciplinary intersection between Roman literature, history,
and culture. The assembled chapters offer thought-provoking and
insightful discussions written by specialists in Roman myth and
religion, literary studies, and ancient history. A convergence of
different perspectives within the collection, including comparative
literature, gender and sexuality, literary criticism, and
reception, results in a rich and varied investigation. Organized
into four parts, the volume explores Anna along four conceptual
lines: her liminal nature as a Carthaginian figure coopted into
Rome's literary, mythological, and artistic heritage; her capacity
as a Roman goddess and nymph; her political and cultural
associations with plebeian and populist ideology; and her
intriguing influence on James Joyce's Finnegans Wake.
