- Description
- Drawing on developments in feminist theory, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, as well as traditional textual and art historical methods, the contributors to this volume examine representations of women's lives with other women, their friendships, and sexual subjectivity. They present new interpretations of the evidence offered by the literary works of Sappho, Ovid, and Lucian: Bronze Age frescoes and Greek vase painting, funerary reliefs, and other artistic representations: and Egyptian legal documents.
