Suburban Feminist: Messalina 1930's-1970'sIn a highly accessible style, 'The Roman Mistress' makes an important and original contribution simultaneously to feminist scholarship on antiquity, the classical tradition and cultural studies.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 simultaneously to feminist scholarship on antiquity, the classical tradition, and cultural studies.Love poetry, LatinHistory and criticismMistressesRomeWomen in literatureSex role in literatureSex role in motion picturesLove poetry, LatinHistory and criticismRomeMan-woman relationships in motion picturesRomeMan-woman relationships in literatureRomeFeminism and literatureFeminism and motion picturesWomen and literatureWomen in motion picturesSex role in literatureMistressesLove poetry, LatinHistory and criticism.MistressesWomen in literature.Sex role in literature.Sex role in motion pictures.Love poetry, LatinHistory and criticismMan-woman relationships in motion picturesMan-woman relationships in literatureFeminism and literatureFeminism and motion picturesWomen and literatureWomen in motion picturesSex role in literatureMistresses871.01093543082Wyke Maria266724StDuBDSStDuBDSStDuBDSZUkPrAHLSBOOK9910782225303321The Roman mistress3819372UNINA
