This study examines the reception of Cleopatra from the beginning
of the 20th century to the present day as it has been reflected in
popular culture in the United States of America. Daugherty provides
a broad overview of the influence of the Egyptian queen by looking
at her presence in film, novels, comics, cartoons, TV shows, music,
advertising and toys. The aim of the book is to show the different
ways in which the figure of Cleopatra was able to reach a large and
non-elite audience. Furthermore, Daugherty makes a study of the
reception of Cleopatra during her own lifetime. He begins by
looking at her portrayal in the vicious propaganda campaign waged
by Octavian against his rival Marc Antony. The consequence was that
Cleopatra was left with a tarnished reputation after the civil war.
Daugherty's examination of both the historical and contemporary
reception of Cleopatra shows the enduring legacy of one of
history's most remarkable queens.
