More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Women Latin Poets addresses women's relationship to culture between the first century B. C. and the eighteenth century A. D. by studying women's poetry in Latin. Based entirely on original archival research in twelve countries, Stevenson recovers an aspect of history often deemed not to exist: women who achieved public recognition in their own time, sometimes to a startling extent. Presenting, often for the first time, the work of more than three hundred women Latin poets, all translated and included in a comprehensive finding guide, Women Latin Poets substantially revises received opinion on women's participation in, and relation to, élite culture. The sheer number of female Latin poets will require women's historians to completely re-evaluate the idea that all women had 'no access to education' before the nineteenth century.

Jane Stevenson is Reader in Post-Classical Latin and Renaissance Studies at the University of Aberdeen and co-editor, with Peter Davidson, of Early Modern Women Poets: An Anthology (Oxford University Press, 2001)

First Sentence
Very little writing by women survives among the Latin poetry of the late Republic and early Empire, but there is more than is generally known, and certainly what survives represents only a fraction of what was written. Read the first page Browse Sample Pages
