However the crucial role female characters play in the constitution and negotiation of the heroism on display in epic has received scant attention in the critical literature. This study represents an attempt to restore female characters to visibility in Roman epic and to examine the discursive operations that effect their marginalisation within both the genre and the critical tradition it has given rise to. The five chapters can be read either as self-contained essays or as a cumulative exploration of the gender dynamics of the Roman epic tradition. The issues addressed are of interest not just to classicists but also to students of gender studies.Roman literature and its contexts.Epic poetry, LatinHistory and criticismWomen and literatureRomeSex role in literatureWomen in literatureEpic poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.Women and literatureSex role in literature.Women in literature.873/.0109352042Keith Alison1090211UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910777341703321Engendering Rome3704732UNINA
