Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very light shelfwear else fine. ; 282pp, illustrated. Since antiquity, the she-wolf has served as the potent symbol of Rome. For more than two thousand years, the legendary animal that rescued Romulus and Remus has been the subject of historical and political accounts, literary treatments in poetry and prose, and visual representations in every medium. In She-Wolf: The Story of a Roman Icon, Cristina Mazzoni examines the evolution of the she-wolf as a symbol in western history, art, and literature, from antiquity to contemporary times. Used, for example, as an icon of Roman imperial power, papal authority, and the distance between the present and the past, the she-wolf has also served as an allegory for greed, good politics, excessive female sexuality, and, most recently, modern, multi-cultural Rome. Mazzoni engagingly analyzes the various role guises of the she-wolf over time in the first comprehensive study in any language on this subject. ; 282 pages.

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Condition: Minimally rubbed binding. Otherwise in perfect condition. / Zustand: Minimal beriebener Einband. Ansonsten im einwandfreien Zustand. - Content: DURING THE COURSE OF A YEAR I SPENT IN THE ETERNAL CITY, THE Roman she-wolf edged her way into my daily life, subtly yet insistently demanding this book be written. Living in Rome made the encounter inevitable: No one can go to Rome and not meet the she-wolf. There was a stone she-wolf suckling twins on the façade of my children s elementary school and other she-wolves lactating on several public buildings that my family passed every day. A she-wolf, teeth and udders exposed, was stuccoed above each entrance to the neighborhood covered market where we did much of our shopping. She-wolves were engraved on the potholes and trash cans in our neighborhood and airbrushed on the sides of the delivery van to the little grocery store next door, and more predictably -she-wolves graced the sides of monuments that we admired and the hallways of museums we visited. The timing of our arrival in the summer of 2006 made the she-wolf s presence all the more unavoidable: She had just been chosen - not surprisingly as the mascot for Rome s first film festival. In preparation for the weeklong October event, posters featuring the photograph of a live wolf dotted the city. Although she strikes the pose of the bronze statue in the Capitoline Museum - standing and looking intently at her viewer, ready to attack, heedless of the babies tugging at her distended udders the focus is on the animal s face, adorned by a glittering red carnival mask shaped like a butterfly. Through this accessory, the masked she-wolf playfully and competitively hints at Venice, home to Europe s best carnival as well as the Italian capital of cinema. For several months, the butterfly-masked beast was everywhere, her mysterious countenance plastered all over Rome a place that is and always has been hers. At the same time, another she-wolf entered my family s life. Weeks after our move to Rome, my oldest child was diagnosed with lupus wolf in Latin. Because Paul s is a skin lupus, I call it his lupa she seems less malevolent than the systemic kind and her maternal instincts keep at bay her more ferocious mate. Lupus is named after the wolf, some say, because the patient s face acquires a wolfish appearance from a characteristic reddish, swollen rash, called a "butterfly mask." For months, the she-wolf on the poster grinned at me knowingly through her own butterfly mask, red and raised like my son s rash. Others believe that the rash makes the patient look as if a wolf has bitten him. The illness is furtive like a wolf and can be as destructive and unpredictable. However, Rome s she-wolf is a mother I kept telling myself- neither an angry ruler nor a vindictive deity. She guards her cubs and nurses hard-hit boys into healthy growth. In my sweetest dreams, the red butterfly across my son s face will fly away for good, settling instead on the muzzle of a movie-hungry, Roman she-wolf far more eager to don its scarlet wings. No single volume of publishable size can aim to include every representation of the Roman she-wolf; neither can any single scholar reasonably aspire to such a task. This book provides numerous examples from a wide range of times and places, and it has been great fun to come across each successive she-wolf in these past few years. Underlying this outwardly overambitious project, however, is a haunting, humbling awareness of how elusive the she-wolf is and how much work there remains to be done. The she-wolf is a slippery beast, quick-moving and everchanging; the last thing I want to do is cage her, even in words. Fleeting as they are, however, the glimpses of the beast described in this book could not have been captured had I been alone; many have accompanied and aided my metaphorical wolf hunt. First, the librarians at the University of Vermont: For many years now, Barbara Lamonda and the interlibrary-loans staff tirelessly tracked down for me the often hard-to-fmd books and articles necessary for my research. The Department of Romance Languages and the College of Arts and Sciences Dean s Office provided welcome financial support both at the beginning and at the end of this project. The advice of friends and colleagues was invaluable, particularly the feedback and encouragement of Rudy Bell, Joyce Boyer, Dino Cervigni, John Cirig-nano, Andrew Elfenbein, Gayle Nunley, Frank Oveis, Barbara Rodgers, Robert Rodgers, and especially Vincent Pelletier. At Cambridge University Press, I benefited from the comments of two generous, constructive readers and the support of a smart, efficient, and always-kind editor, Beatrice Rehl. At the final stages of the project, the editing work of Peggy Rote and her team helped improve the book s legibility. The she-wolf speaks many languages, and I am grateful for the work of translators and my language teachers over the years above all, in this twentieth anniversary of my life-changing Latin class with him, to Reggie Foster. When translations are not indicated in the bibliography, they were not available and I provided my own. The selection of the objects that appear in this book (i.e., she-wolves of metal and stone, pigment and ink) and the methods employed to understand them (strings of words are the snares I lay for the beasts) are determined by a background in which the personal and the professional cannot be disentangled from one another. The eclectic style of my criticism comes from training in comparative literature, with its tendency to flout disciplinary boundaries and sense of entitlement to poach from all; and from a feminist bent, with its focus on what happens to women in the precarious process of representation. Both backgrounds shape the readings of this book th.

Condition: Antiquarian. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (.), 2010. XIV,282p. Paperback. ''Lupus est homo homini.' (Plautus, Asinaria 495). This famous quotation, through its various translations, perfectly encapsulates the themes explored in Cristina Mazzoni?s new book. Man is a wolf to other men - as Plautus undoubtedly meant it - but a wolf can also be interpreted as a human being in particular circumstances. In both Italian and Latin the word lupa can describe a she-wolf or a prostitute, either a ferocious animal or a female human of voracious sexual appetites. This paradox has informed interpretations of the legend of Romulus and Remus since antiquity, where the she-wolf figures as animal, mother, and whore simultaneously, and the complexity and ambiguity of this formative being have given her long life as a symbol representing a myriad of concepts, individuals, and entities. Mazzoni sets herself the ambitious task of exploring the she-wolf in all her forms and interpretations, from the famous Lupa Capitolina to her appearance in modern art, archaeology, poetry, and literature. The organization that Mazzoni adopts for her daunting task is remarkably unique in privileging thematic and disciplinary divisions over chronological phases. The book is divided into three main sections, the first focusing on the Lupa Capitolina herself, the second on the literary depictions of the she-wolf in general, and the third on the she-wolf in the visual arts. Each large section is further divided into three chronological chapters: Antiquity, Middle Ages and Renaissance, and Modern and Contemporary Times. This doubly tripartite organization provides the support for Mazzoni?s eclectic style, which includes complex scholarly applications of gender theory, metaphorical descriptions of the contours of the eternal city, and plain matter-of-fact reporting on historical trivia. As described in her preface, this unusual format is largely borne from Mazzoni?s background in comparative literature ?in which the personal and professional cannot be disentangled from one another.? (xiii) Her interest in the subject is influenced both by her birth in Rome and her son?s bout with lupus, and thus her reaction to the material is both critical and emotional. (.) It is worth mentioning in this review focused on classicists that Mazzoni?s primary research interests are firmly post-classical, and as a result, the strongest sections of the volume deal with works from the 19th-century on. Furthermore, the sections focusing on textual analysis reveal her virtuosity in this arena, particularly on the themes of gender and allegory. (.) Filled with insightful gems of information and passages of lyrical and innovative prose, She-Wolf leaves the reader not simply with a vivid picture of the complexity of the lupa, but a sense of her presence in the fabric of Rome itself, both past and present.' (GENEVIEVE GESSERT in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2011.02.09). Antiquarian.
