Women's Dress in the Ancient Greek World

Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2023
The clothing and ornament of Greek women signalled much about the status and the morality assigned to them. Yet this revealing aspect of women's history has been little studied. In this collection of new studies by an international team, ancient visual evidence from vase-painting and sculpture is used extensively alongside Greek literature to reconstruct how women of the Greek world were perceived, and also, in important ways, how they lived.

Recenzii

The essays, though concise, are mostly of high quality, opening up the field of 'Greek dress in social and cultural context', a field with enormous potential, and no shortage of material. Indeed this is one of the more substantial and original recent volumes on Greek women and their (self-)representation tout court. The papers of Blundell and Ogden, in particular, deserve to become mainstays of student bibliographies.
