Description

Utopia Antiqua offers a fresh examination of Golden Age and decline narratives in ancient Roman literature from the late Republic through the imperial period. Through the lens of utopian theory, author Rhiannon Evans explores how Roman writers including Virgil, Ovid and Tacitus reimagined and reinterpreted Greek myths of the ages within their historical and artistic contexts. The book investigates Roman conceptions of the Iron Age and dystopia, explores the reasons Roman authors attributed to cultural and societal decline, and examines their visions for renewed golden periods. By employing detailed case studies, this Routledge monograph reveals the cultural significance these utopian narratives held for Roman society and literature.
