Articoli correlati a Cleopatra: Histories,Dreams and Distortions
In the 2000 years since Cleopatra's death she has been recreated over and over again, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and fantasies of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B.De Mille she was "the wickedest woman in all history"; to the Arabic historian Al-Masudi she was a scholar and a sage; to George Bernard Shaw an emotionally retarded sex-kitten. These fantastic Cleopatras can be read as mirror-images of the culture that produced them. This book is about them, and also about politics - sexual, racial and constitutional - and about morality, neurosis and desire. The author is a journalist and critic who won the 1980 Catherine Pakenham Award as a feature writer with "Vogue".

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. includes bibliography, references, index, and 50 plates, (mostly black-and-white). In the 2000+ years since her death, she has been recreated over and over again, each time in a form that fits the prejudices and fantasies of the age that produced it. -- These fantastic Cleopatra's can be read as mirror images of the culture that produced them. This book is about them, but it is also about politics -- sexual, racial and constitutional -- and about morality, neurosis and desire. Above all it is about propaganda and the persuasive power of narrative. Cleopatra, a competent Hellenistic ruler who were celibate for over half her adult life, has been remembered as the terrible and of an exotic love story. In asking why, Lucy Hughes-Hallett reminds us that storytelling is never an innocent occupation. -- Front fold over blurb of the hardcover apart from a birthday inscription on the 1st page in green ink there is no damage to describe. 417,[12] pages.
