Access Today Thinking Men: Masculinity And Its Self-Representation In The Classical Tradition Authored By Lin Foxhall Compiled As EText

Thinking Men explores artistic and intellectual expression in the classical world as the self representation of man.
It starts from the premise that the history of classical antiquity as the ancients tell it is a history of men.
However, the focus of this volume is the creation, recreation and iteration of that male self as presented in language, poetry, drama, philosophical and scientific thought and art: man constructing himself as subject in classical antiquity and beyond.
This beautifully illustrated volume, which contains a preface by Nathalie Kampen, provides a thoughtprovoking and stimulating insight into the representations of men in Classical culture.
Lin Foxhall is a Professor in the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, University of Leicester, She was Head of the School at the time of the discovery and has been directly involved in much of the subsequent research, analysis and publication.
