Synopsis
This comprehensive study of Roman sexuality and the ideologies of masculinity discusses a wide range of ancient texts, arguing that native Roman concepts of masculinity did not rely on the distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality, but were instead structured around such antitheses as free vs. slave, dominant vs. subordinate, and masculine vs. effeminate.

Oxford University Press, New York / Oxford, 1999. XII,395,(8)p. ills. Imitation leather bound. Signature on free endpaper. A few light, erasable pencil annotations. Nice copy. 'The early chapters are the best. On the basis of literary sources Williams contends (pp. 18-19) that Roman male sexuality centered on three 'traditional protocols governing sexual practices': first, 'a self-respecting Roman man must always give the appearance of playing the insertive role in penetrative acts, and not the receptive role'; second, 'apart from his wife, freeborn Romans were officially off-limits [as] sexual partners for a Roman man'; and third, 'less of a rule than a tendency pervading the ancient sources: a noticeable proclivity toward smooth young bodies.' This book, which will be widely consulted and cited, has much to recommend it. Williams provides a good bibliography, and his index of sources is helpful; by contrast, the general index is inadequate (e.g., no entry for Laronia, Juvenal 2.45-47). Beyond this, his forthright deliberation is welcome, even as he clears away much of the prejudicial dead thought that has long encumbered scholarship on this difficult theme. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Williams has provided the final word on any subject he discusses. Rather, more modestly, he has prepared the ground for much future research, although this in itself is a signal service. But what remains to be seen is whether Roman social historians will soon or ever be able to dispense with the concept of homosexuality.' (BRUCE W. FRIER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.11.05).

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. This book provides a thoroughly documented discussion of ancient Roman ideologies of masculinity and sexuality with a focus on ancient representations of sexual experience between males. It gathers a wide range of evidence from the second century B.C. to the second century A.D.--above all from such literary texts as courtroom speeches, love poetry, philosophy, epigram, and history, but also graffiti and other inscriptions as well as artistic artifacts--and uses thatevidence to reconstruct the contexts within which Roman texts were created and had their meaning. The book takes as its starting point the thesis that in order to understand the Roman material, wemust make the effort to set aside any preconceptions we might have regarding sexuality, masculinity, and effeminacy.Williams' book argues in detail that for the writers and readers of Roman texts, the important distinctions were drawn not between homosexual and heterosexual, but between free and slave, dominant and subordinate, masculin and effeminate as conceived in specifically Roman terms. Other important questions addressed by this book include the differences betweenRoman and Greek practices and ideologies; the influence exerted by distinctively Roman ideals of austerity; the ways in which deviations from the norms of masculine sexual practice were negotiated bothin the arena of public discourse and in real men's lives; the relationship between the rhetoric of "nature" and representations of sexual practices; and the extent to which same-sex marriages were publicly accepted. This comprehensive study of Roman sexuality and the ideologies of masculinity discusses a wide range of ancient texts, arguing that native Roman concepts of masculinity did not rely on the distinction between homosexuality and heterosexuality, but were instead structured around such antitheses as free vs. slave, dominant vs. subordinate, and masculine vs. effeminate.
