The Gendered ‘I’ in Ancient Literature

Autor: Lisa Cordes , Therese Fuhrer

Número de Páginas: 553

Considering the ubiquity of rhetorical training in antiquity, the volume starts from the premise that every first-person statement in ancient literature is in some way rhetorically modelled and aesthetically shaped. Focusing on different types of Greek and Latin literature, poetry and prose, from the Archaic Age to Late Antiquity, the contributions analyse the use and modelling of gender-specific elements in different types of first-person speech, be it that the speaker is (represented as) the author of a work, be it that they feature as characters in the work, narrating their own story or that of others. In doing so, they do not only offer new insights into the rhetorical strategies and literary techniques used to construct a gendered ‘I’ in ancient literature. They also address the form and function of first-person discourse in classical literature in general, touching on fields of research that have increasingly come into focus in recent years, such as authorship studies, studies concerning the ancient notion(s) of the literary persona, as well as a historical narratology that discusses concepts such as the narrator or the literary character in ancient literary theory and...

Cautivas

Autor: Enrique García Riaza

Número de Páginas: 48

Cautivas en la guerra, secuestradas por piratas, raptadas con fines sexuales, prisioneras, rehenes, objetos de venta al mejor postor, las voces femeninas nos apelan con sorprendente actualidad en este apasionante recorrido por la historia. El papel de las mujeres en la época convulsa de la expansión mediterránea de Roma ha permanecido velado por el relato oficial de los acontecimientos. No obstante, una mirada crítica a nuestras fuentes descubre la importante contribución femenina en la logística de la guerra, y su rol determinante en la articulación social de la resistencia frente a las legiones de la República. La población civil, compuesta en gran parte por mujeres y niños, sufrirá en primera persona la crueldad de los conflictos, y será objetivo prioritario de las represalias de los vencedores. Madres, esposas, hijas, unidas por el destino común del cautiverio, nos interrogan en estas páginas sobre la condición de la mujer en nuestro propio mundo.

Maximianus’ ‘Elegies’

Autor: Vasileios Pappas

Número de Páginas: 302

This book is the first study to focus on a metaliterary interpretation of Maximianus’ Elegies, and aims to fill a major gap in international literature concerning the thoughts of the last love elegist on the evolution and renovation of the genre of love elegy during Late Antiquity. The book includes all known subjects of Maximianus’ poetry (e.g., the division of his work into six elegies, its attribution to Cornelius Gallus by Pomponius Gauricus in 1502, its reception in recent years, the intellectual milieu of the Ostrogothic Italy, the historical contextualization of his poetry, the Appendix Maximiani, the impact of the Augustan love elegy (and especially Ovid’s) upon it, etc.), in order to offer a more complete picture of it. However, the content of the book is predominantly prototype, as it examines subjects that have not previously been discussed in the past. These include: a) The generic interaction between the ‘host’ genre of love elegy, and several ‘guest’ genres (e.g., Roman comedy, epic, pastoral); b) The hidden metapoetic discourse regarding the genre of love elegy itself. The book is intended for scholars or students working on or interested in Roman love ...
