The Elegiac Passion. Jealousy in Roman Love Elegy. - CASTON, Ruth R.,
jealousy in Roman love elegy
KORTE INHOUD
'Emotions continue to run high among the preoccupations of classicists, and 'Emotions of the Past', a new series from Oxford University Press, edited by two of the paladins of Classical emotion studies, Robert Kaster and David Konstan, promises still further to nurture work on this important and fascinating area. In this first volume, Ruth Caston makes the case both for jealousy as a quintessentially elegiac emotion, and for elegy as a genre structured by jealousy. By the end of her interesting discussion, this claim feels a little overstated, or at least undersubstantiated by the evidence presented, but the range of examples - ancient and modern, literary and sociological - which she offers, her provocative analyses, and her suggestive (if ultimately unstable) taxonomies, all make this a stimulating and rewarding study.' (BOB COWAN in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.04.47).
