I began this review by stating there was clearly commercial potential in such a biography. Yet there would be no commercial potential if such biography of Boudica did not also satisfy a cultural need. We in the twenty-first-century West are just as interested in powerful women as was Tacitus in second-century Rome or Xiphilinus in eleventh-century Byzantium. As we continue to grapple with questions around gender-roles, patriarchy, empire, and Britain’s relationship to the Continent, Boudica remains, to use a well-worn phrase, good to think with. In spite of its flaws, Gillespie’s Boudica is an innovative contribution to this discourse. Appartiene alle SerieWomen in Antiquity (11)
'Boudica' introduces readers to the life and literary importance of Boudica through juxtaposing her literary characterisations in Tacitus and Cassius Dio with those of other women and rebel leaders. Literary comparisons assist in the understanding of Boudica as a barbarian, queen, mother, commander in war and leader of revolt. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
