Boudicca (Boadicea), Leader of the Iceni, is synonymous with
rebellion and feminine strength, yet what we know of her is often
far removed from the time in which she lived and the early authors
who first wrote about her. In this new study, Marguerite Johnson
returns to the original sources and interrogates them in order to
unearth what the ancients thought of this most enigmatic heroine of
British freedom. After a concise overview of Boudicca and the
British rebellion against Rome, she turns to the writings of
Tacitus and Dio and provides an in-depth analysis of their views on
Boudicca and her people. These readings, which form the centrepiece
of the book, are followed by an insightful series of readings of
Boudicca post-antiquity, including the scant references to her in
the writings that emerged after the fall of the Roman Empire to the
most modern re-workings of this most fascinating of historical
icons.
