Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise very good condition. The Romans saw marital concord as a symbol of social unity—one that was important to maintaining the vigor and political harmony of the empire itself. The Virgin and the Bride: Idealized Womanhood in Late Antiquity. von Cooper, Kate:Autor(en) Cooper, Kate:Verlag / Jahr Cambridge, London: Harvard University Press, 1996.Format / Einband Cloth with dustjacket. XII, 180 p.Sprache EnglischGewicht ca. 418 gISBN 0674939492EAN 9780674939493Bestell-Nr 1171378Bemerkungen Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag leicht berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / dust jacket slightly rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - During the last centuries of the Roman Empire, the prevailing ideal of feminine virtue was radically transformed: the pure but fertile heroines of Greek and Roman romance were replaced by a Christian heroine who ardently refused the marriage bed. How this new concept and figure of purity is connected with—indeed, how it abetted—social and religious change is the subject of Kate Cooper’s lively book. The Romans saw marital concord as a symbol of social unity—one that was important to maintaining the vigor and political harmony of the empire itself. This is nowhere more clear than in the ancient novel, where the mutual desire of hero and heroine is directed toward marriage and social renewal. But early Christian romance subverted the main outline of the story: now the heroine abandons her marriage partner for an otherworldly union with a Christian holy man. Cooper traces the reception of this new ascetic literature across the Roman world. How did the ruling classes respond to the Christian claim to moral superiority, represented by the new ideal of sexual purity? How did women themselves react to the challenge to their traditional role as matrons and matriarchs? In addressing these questions, Cooper gives us a vivid picture of dramatically changing ideas about (continued on back flap) sexuality, family, and morality—a cultural revolution with far-reaching implications for religion and politics, women and men. The Virgin and the Bride offers a new look at central aspects of the Christianization of the Roman world, and an engaging discussion of the rhetoric of gender and the social meaning of idealized womanhood.
