The striking scene of Judith cutting off Holofernes's head with his
own sword in his own bed has inspired the imaginations of readers
for millennia. But there is more to her story than just this
climactic act and more to her character than just beauty and
violence. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of gender
ideologies in the book of Judith, from the hyper-masculine
machinations of war and empire to the dynamics of class in Judith's
relationship with her enslaved handmaid. Overall, this commentary
investigates the book of Judith through a feminist lens, informed
by critical masculinity studies, queer theory, and reception
criticism.
