Description

In the Flesh deeply engages postmodern and new materialist feminist thought in close readings of three significant poets-Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid-writing in the early years of Rome's Augustan Principate. In their poems, they represent the flesh-and-blood body in both its integrity and vulnerability, as an index of social position along intersecting axes of sex, gender, status, and class. Erika Zimmermann Damer underscores the fluid, dynamic, and contingent nature of identities in Roman elegy, in response to a period of rapid legal, political, and social change. Recognizing this power of material flesh to shape elegiac poetry, she asserts, grants figures at the margins of this poetic discourse-mistresses, rivals, enslaved characters, overlooked members of households-their own identities, even when they do not speak. She demonstrates how the three poets create a prominent aesthetic of corporeal abjection and imperfection, associating the body as much with blood, wounds, and corporeal disintegration as with elegance, refinement, and sensuality. Review "Elegantly eloquent, informatively thought-provoking, impressively organized and presented . . . an exceptional work of meticulous and dedicated scholarship"--Midwest Book Review A refreshingly new reading of Roman love elegy that brilliantly studies the flesh and blood of elegy's men and women. These bodies are not always perfect--as they resist the consummation of inscription, they often appear wounded, repulsive, and macabre. Anyone interested in Latin poetry should read this splendid book. --Ionnis Ziogas, Durham University Moving beyond theorizing about the textualized body in Roman elegy, and taking her cue from feminist 'new materialisms, ' Zimmermann Damer reasserts the presence in elegiac poetry of bodies themselves, with all their abject materiality, genderedness, and sexiness. An impressive study that is a delight to read. --David Wray, University of Chicago About the Author Erika Zimmermann Damer is an associate professor of classics and of women, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of Richmond.
