Recenzii
`wonderfully rich in detail and example ... She covers topics like law, morality, health, domesticity, asceticism and her final chapter, "Being Female", is a fascinating discussion of the philosophical arguments which raged about women's status and function.'Peter Jones, Sunday Telegraph
`a short, packed but highly accessible guide to the position of women in late antiquity' Times Higher Education Supplement
'As a collection of evidence - much from arcane and little-read sources - Women in Late Antiquity is an admirable achievement. It is clearly the product of much hard work and a meticulous attention to detail. It is a start in filling an obvious and embarassing gap in later Roman studies. For those who seek a pattern, Women in Late Antiquity will make available much interesting and usable material.'Times Literary Supplement
'It is no easy task to unravel the legal and medical texbooks referring to women in the concluding conturies of the Empire, but this Gillian Clark has done with great skill...endlessly fascinating snippets of information.'Greece and Rome
'invaluable citations of primary sources (particularly from Roman law) support every observation.'Choice
'The content is obviously highly condensed from a vast mass of information. C. is succinct and to the point on a huge number of issues that affect women's lives, many of which are still applicable today in our brave new world of 'family values'. She has produced a thought-provoking section on dress and its implications for representations of power and femaleness ... very readable and accessible book.'The Classical Review
scholarly ... aimed at a specific and limited audience ... also eminently readable and accessible to the non-expert ... a fascinating glimpse into the world of women in the third to sixth centuries AD.
The editors have chosen to order the papers chronologically by date of publication ... it does add a perspective of development within the subject which is valuable and illuminating. The quality of the articles is consistently high and the volume as a whole has a pleasing range and a depth appropriate to good sixth form and undergraduate students. The production standards are, as usual, high. Where necessary, writers have added addenda to their pieces to take account of subsequent bibliography. The book is rounded off with a full and helpful index, and a composite index of passages cited, which I find especially valuable ... this collection deserves to be bought by any school or college with an interest in classical and/or gender studies.
A. combines legal with other literary material to provide a clear and sensitive exposition of a subject perhaps more difficult than he makes it appear. This is an accessible and attractive treatment of a subject not easy to communicate to the non-lawyer.
