Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - The age of Augustus has long been understood as a time of imposed social conservatism, when the Roman state sought in the restoration of traditional values a healing balm for the wounds of a society torn apart by civil war. This moral rebuilding included as one of its most important aspects an emphasis on ideals of female domesticity, on the necessity for women to return to the private sphere and reclaim their status as the primary caretakers of the Roman home. At the same time, however, early imperial culture also embraced numerous public representations of that private sphere, so that women in their roles as mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters came to have a significant presence in political discourse. Kristina Milnor explores the causes and consequences of this paradox, through an examination of both the history of the time and the ways in which it comes to be represented in early imperial literature. She argues that the much publicized return to the traditional home under the first emperors was less a matter of changing the ways in wh ...

ISBN10: 0199280827, ISBN13: 9780199280827, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Hardcover Hardcover. The age of Augustus has long been recognized as a time when the Roman state put a new emphasis on `traditional' feminine domestic ideals, yet at the same time gave real public prominence to certain women in their roles as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters. Kristina Milnor takes up a series of texts and their contexts in order to explore this paradox. Through an examination of authors such as Vitruvius, Livy, Valerius Maximus, Seneca the Elder, and Columella,she argues that female domesticity was both a principle and a problem for early imperial writers, as they sought to construct a new definition of who and what constituted Roman public life. In the early Roman Empire, women's domestic roles were given new public prominence. Through an examination of early imperial representations of women's activities and responsibilities within the household, Kristina Milnor argues that this emphasis on private morality is actually a new way of understanding the nature of political life.
