Belongs to Publisher Series
Through a series of close readings of works by Virgil, Ovid, Seneca and Statius, the volume scrutinizes the gender dynamics that permeate these ancient authors' language, imagery and narrative structures. Analysing these texts 'through and for the maternal', McAuley considers to what degree their representations of motherhood reflect, construct, or subvert Roman ideals of, and anxieties about, family, gender roles and reproduction.
