Description

Offering the first comprehensive feminist analysis of ancient Greek fictional letters, this book focuses on the centuries between the Roman Imperial period and late antiquity. Through an exploration of modern French and Anglo-American feminist theory, Pontoropoulos creates an analytical framework using the scholarship of Hèléne Cixous and Alice Jardine. On the ancient side, the literary representations of women in the letter collections of Aelian, Alciphron and Aristaenetus form the main corpus of study. In this volume, Pontoropoulos structures his argument around three pertinent questions: can ancient fictional letters written by men tell us anything about their ancient representations of women? How do these letters inform our modern understanding of concepts such as gender and agency? Do these letter collections succeed in providing the reader with a variety of fictional female characters? The women in these literary collections are presented as speaking, rhetorical subjects that subvert the expected discourses of desire and shift the perspective from the male to the female point of view. In this sense, they not only present the reader with a highly-layered intertext, but also with a text that challenges expected gendered norms.
