Item description from seller

8vo, This study uses the concept of the gaze to examine literary, visual and material evidence that reveals the contribution of Ancient Rome to the development of Western culture. Contributors draw upon a wide range of theoretical methods, using visual and body theory from various fields and period specializations. Topics include violence and gender in Senecan theatre, literary representations of erotic love within a hierarchical and violent Rome, and the differing appeal of artistic depictions designed for visual consumption by both genders. Boldly interdisciplinary, the work should interest readers in history, classics, literature, art and cinema. Contents -- Introduction: Invisible Rome, David Fredrick -- Split Vision: The Politics of the Gaze in Seneca's Troades, Cindy Benton -- This Ship of Fools: Epic Vision in Lucan's Vulteius Episode, Katherine Owen Eldred -- Some Unseen Monster: Rereading Lucretius on Sex, Pamela Gordon -- Reading Programs in Greco-Roman Art: Reflections on the Spada Reliefs, Zahra Newby no Look Who's Laughing at Sex: Men and Women Viewers in the Apodyterium of the Suburban Baths at Pompeii, John R.
