Book Synopsis The Roman Mistress by : Maria Wyke

Download or read book The Roman Mistress written by Maria Wyke and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2007 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Latin love poetry's dominating and enslaving beloveds, to modern popular culture's infamous Cleopatras and Messalinas, representations of the Roman mistress (or the mistress of Romans) have brought into question both ancient and modern genders and political systems. The Roman Mistress explores representations of transgressive women in Latin love poetry and British television drama, in Roman historiography and nineteenth-century Italian anthropology, on classical coinage and college websites, as poetic metaphor and in the Hollywood star system. In a highly accessible style, the book makes an important and original contribution simultaneously to feminist scholarship on antiquity, the classical tradition, and cultural studies.
