Paperback. Zustand: Good. Staining to foreedges of some pages (moisture).; This collection of essays seeks to establish Roman constructions of sexuality and gender difference as a distinct area of research, complementing work already done on Greece to give a fuller picture of ancient sexuality. By applying feminist critical tools to forms of public discourse, including literature, history, law, medicine, and political oratory, the essays explore the hierarchy of power reflected so strongly in most Roman sexual relations, where noblemen acted as the penetrators and women, boys, and slaves the penetrated. In many cases, the authors show how these roles could be inverted--in ways that revealed citizens' anxieties during the days of the early Empire, when traditional power structures seemed threatened. In the essays, Jonathan Walters defines the impenetrable male body as the ideational norm; Holt Parker and Catharine Edwards treat literary and legal models of male sexual deviance; Anthony Corbeill unpacks political charges of immoral behavior at banquets, while Marilyn B. Skinner, Ellen Oliensis, and David Fredrick trace linkages between social status and the gender role of the male speaker in Roman lyric and elegy; Amy Richlin interrogates popular medical belief about the female body; Sandra R. Joshel examines the semiotics of empire underlying the historiographic portrayal of the empress Messalina; Judith P. Hallett and Pamela Gordon critique Roman caricatures of the woman-desiring woman; and Alison Keith discovers subversive allusions to the tragedy of Dido in the elegist Sulpicia's self-depiction as a woman in love.; 368 pages.…

"The sixteen essays in this volume confront the current debate about the relationship between philosophy and its history. On the one hand, intellectual historians have commonly accused philosophers of writing bad—anachronistic—history of philosophy, and on the other, philosophers have accused intellectual historians of writing bad—antiquarian—history of philosophy. The essays here address this controversy and ask what purpose the history of philosophy should serve.".…

University of Texas Press, Austin, 2004. 1st ed. XII,361p. Original black cloth with dust wrps. Spine gilt titled. Dust wrps to upper edge a bit wrinkled. After the generous but unwieldy Introduction (24 pages), there are six groups of articles: two on the early poems, three on different aspects of the Aeneid, one on the Augustans. There is an excellent Bibliography, a List of Contributors, a General Index and an Index Locorum. The volume is beautifully edited, with very few and inconsequential typographical errors. (.) In Part I: Early Vergil, three essayists offer evidence for the influence of Epicureanism on V's early works. The principal weakness is that the authenticity and general acceptance of some of these early works are not sufficiently addressed. (.) In contrast to the first section, the three essays in Part II: Eclogues and Georgics are of outstanding quality, though they further the aims of the project with varying degrees of success. (.) Part III: The Aeneid: The Emotions. (.) This segment of the volume is particularly important in its potential demonstration of P's influence on V. The three articles which comprise this section are all informative (.). The essays in Part IV: The Aeneid: Piety and the Gods have much to contribute to Vergilian scholarship. All are extremely well written, but how well each one furthers the project's aims varies. (.) In Part V: The Aeneid: Aesthetics, Marilyn B. Skinner's 'Carmen inane: Philodemus' Aesthetics and Vergil's Artistic Vision' is yet another product of a seasoned scholarly mind. (.) Daniel Delattre comprehensively reviews references to music and musical instruments in 'Vergil and Music, in Diogenes of Babylon and Philodemus'. (.) The title includes the Augustans, but the two essays on Horace and Propertius constitute negligible treatment.' (L.N. QUARTARONE in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.64).…
