Catullus and the Poetics of Roman Manhood Book

A literary study of the first-century BCE Roman poet, Catullus. This book uses two sets of comparative models to offer a new understanding of Catullus' poems as self-performance: first, cultural anthropological accounts of male social interaction in the premodern Mediterranean, and second, the postmodern poetics of such twentieth-century poets as Louis Zukofsky, which are characterized by simultaneous juxtaposition, a 'collage' aesthetic, and self-allusive play. The book will be of interest to students of comparative literature and gender studies as well as to classicists.Read More
