Description

Explore a new perspective on Christian female asceticism in the Roman era with this scholarly work from Cambridge University Press. Women and Modesty in Late Antiquity provides a fresh look at the most studied documents regarding early Christian women. By focusing on the letters of advice sent to the noble Anicia family, author Kate Wilkinson examines how conventional descriptions of feminine modesty actually reveal spaces for agency and self-formation. This book moves beyond traditional historical readings by using comparative data from contemporary ethnographic studies of Muslim, Hindu, and indigenous Pakistani women. This approach helps uncover the various possibilities found within codes of modesty. Through the use of performance studies, the text offers close readings that expand our understanding of how these women navigated their social and religious worlds. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in Roman history, gender studies, and the evolution of early Christian life.
