AHPG826: Women Writers of Ancient Greece and Rome
There is a general perception that almost all writing in antiquity was by men. However, some important literature written by women has survived, and many other women writers published work that has not been preserved. This course covers writers from Sappho, who lived in the seventh century BC, through to Eudocia and Egeria in the fifth century AD. The unit reviews what we know about women writers, and looks at topics such as the authenticity of texts attributed to women and places literature by women into the wider literary and social context of the ancient Graeco-Roman world.
