Sharon L. James reads key poems by Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid for the first time from the perspective of the woman to whom they are addressed-the \u003ci\u003edocta puella, \u003c\/i\u003eor learned girl, the poet's beloved. By interpreting the poetry not, as has always been done, from the stance of the elite male writers-as plaint and confession-but rather from the viewpoint of the women-thus as persuasion and attempted manipulation-James reveals strategies and substance that no one has listened for before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Lynn James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520233816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520233812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.38w x 1.18d","brand":"Sharon Lynn James","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056210374911,"sku":"9780520233812","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76a6eeb0-880f-4482-abe8-0ed8f489c28c.jpg?v=1685040107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learned-girls-and-male-persuasion-sharon-lynn-james-9780520233812","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
