[EAN: 9780198150756], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 4.5], [PU: Oxford : Oxford University Press], Jacket, X, 452 p., many ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed jacket, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht beriebener Umschlag, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - 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 to feminist scholarship on antiquity, the classical tradition, and cultural studies. The mistress of Latin love elegy has long occupied a central place in academic debates about the relationship between Roman women and their representation in the literature of the male elite, about transgressions of Roman gender and sexuality, about male dependency and female promiscuity, and about the intersection of ancient erotics with the politics of immorality. Part i of The Roman Mistress brings together, updates, and expands Wyke’s revolutionary interventions in such debates and traces the development of feminist scholarship in this field into the twenty-first century. Recent work on Roman gender and representation demonstrates an increasing interest in issues of reception. Part 2 of The Roman Mistress constitutes Wyke’s innovative contribution to this new trajectory for feminist scholarship. In Roman culture, Cleopatra was frequently deployed as the canonic example of a transgressive mistress from whose sexual and political demands western civilisation needed to be rescued. In modern, popular culture her representation (and that of the empress Messalina) changes as it intersects with concerns about modern empires, and with anxieties about modern women’s entry into political authority, their development of sexual identities outside marriage, the formation of the women’s movement and of feminist activism itself. A central and important feature of Wyke’s work here is that it allows for a study of the mechanisms whereby modern audiences are encouraged to identify as women with glamorous and commodified versions of the Roman mistress, and to shape their bodies along seemingly ancient contours. Whether as an act of conformity or sedition, we are invited to become Roman mistresses ourselves. - Maria Wyke is Senior Lecturer in Classics at the University of Reading.
