By examining the themes of violence, death, guilt, grief, and anger in their epics, she offers an account of the intertextual tradition of the genre and its socio-political background. Through a combination of classical narratology and Julia Kristeva's subjectivity theory, Pyy scrutinises how gendered marginality is constructed in the genre and how it contributes to the fashioning of Roman imperial identity. Focusing on the ambiguous elements of epic, the study looks beyond the binary oppositions between the Self and the Other, male and female, and Roman and barbarian"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Epic poetry, Latin $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a War in literature. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 650 7 $a Epic poetry, Latin $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00913954 650 7 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966891 650 7 $a War in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 650 7 $a Women in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pyy, Elina. $t Women and war in Roman epic $d Boston : Brill, [2021] $z 9789004443457 $w (DLC) 2020037613 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317024945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2480DF0CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
