{"product_id":"reading-ancient-slavery-edith-hall-9780715638682","title":"Reading Ancient Slavery","description":"Studies of ancient slavery have tended to rely on particular types of evidence - inscriptions, legal sources, and historical accounts - whereas literary imaginings of slavery have been relatively under-exploited. Yet these sources illuminate for us the ideologies that allowed slavery to be practised throughout antiquity with virtually no opposition and further to understand how and why slavery was debated and, to some extent, experienced by Greeks and Romans. This volume provides a sustained discussion of the theory and practice of handling ancient literature and art in order to enhance our understanding of ancient slavery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwelve essays by an international team of specialists develop a variety of theoretical positions, reading practices and interpretive strategies for recovering the psychological and social impact of ancient slavery from Homer, Aristotle, Greek drama, visual images, Roman poetry and imperial Roman dream interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715638688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715638682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 178","brand":"Edith Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925734326527,"sku":"9780715638682","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_51af39c8-872e-40ab-b30d-9126c27b4f14.jpg?v=1681079036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-ancient-slavery-edith-hall-9780715638682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
