Warren argues that Plutarch's work makes use of moral-educational literature to inculcate a gendered sense of self in the reader, and that this self is fundamentally concerned with the sex of the body, its reproductive role, and the conjugal relationship. Psychagogy is therefore a process of self-formation which aims to regulate and distribute power in gendered interactions on the basis of virtue. On this view, virtue is not just a disposition of the soul, it is also a set of rules and regulations for how one should act and interact with others, and this ties it inextricably to gender. Plutarch furthers this view in his theoretical-philosophical work, where he moves beyond the gender binary to a psychic scale of gender expression which figures normative gender as virtuous and non-normative gender as vicious. He then examines the implications of these views in the biographies. Warren therefore holds that Plutarch's views on women and gender across all genres are ideologically coherent, even if written at different stages of his life. 606 $aSex in literature 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aMoral exhortation$xIn literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aVirtue in literature 615 0$aSex in literature. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aMoral exhortation$xIn literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aVirtue in literature. 676 $a888/.0108 676 $a184 686 $aLIT000000$aLIT004190$aLIT025050$2bisacsh 700 $aWarren$b Lunette$01359862 712 02$aLever Press, 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910725984103321 996 $aLike a captive bird$93375239 997 $aUNINA
