Synopsis

Intellectual shifts in the late 20th century led to profound change in the questions that could be asked about the ancient world; the chapters in this volume are inspired by the way these shifts have affected scholars’ attitude towards and use of Athenian oratory in the study of social history.

Readers will encounter some of the most up-to-date directions of enquiry in the social-historical study of the Athenian orators. Case studies from across the corpus of the orators explore themes in gender, status, and space as well as their intersections. The contributors to this volume, primarily early-career researchers representing a range of nationalities and academic positions, combine philological and social-historical methodologies with disciplinarily diverse contemporary theoretical frameworks, including spatial analysis, queer theory, and disability theory.

Gender, Status, and Space in Athenian Oratory and Society is intended for students and scholars of the Athenian orators and of Athenian social history and is designed to be accessible to readers without extensive knowledge of ancient Greek.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Hilary J. C. Lehmann is an associate professor of classics at Knox College (Illinois). Her research focuses on representations of home and family in Athenian rhetoric, intersections of mobility and identity in Athenian drama, and narrative desire in Herodotus and the ancient Greek novel.

Christine Plastow is a senior lecturer in classical studies at the Open University, UK. Her research has two main strands: the study of Athenian forensic oratory from rhetorical, socio-historical, and legal perspectives and practice as-research work on the theatrical reception of myth.
