Description

Explore the complex literary landscapes of ancient Rome with Utopia Antiqua. This scholarly work by Rhiannon Evans offers a fresh perspective on how Roman authors approached the concepts of the Golden Age and societal decline. Part of the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies, this book examines the narratives found in the literature of the late Republic and the imperial period. By applying the lens of utopian theory, the text analyzes how major authors like Virgil, Ovid, and Tacitus reinvented Greek myths of the ages. Readers will learn how these writers situated these myths within their specific historical and artistic contexts. The book investigates the meaning of the Iron Age and the concept of dystopia, looking at the reasons provided for Roman decline and the potential for a renewed Age of Gold. Through detailed case studies, this monograph examines the cultural effects of these literary themes. It is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Roman history, classical literature, and the evolution of utopian thought in antiquity.
