Selling Cabiria in transnational markets
When pirates put the infant Cabiria on sale in the Carthaginian market early in the second episode of the Italian epic Cabiria (1914), she is swiftly bought by the High Priest of Moloch. But selling the film to non-Italian audiences in and beyond 1914, given its colonial rescue fantasy and its spectacular celebration of a nationalist war of empire in Africa through the vehicle of Roman history, was more of a challenge. Cabiria was purchased for B…
The Novel of Neronian Rome and its Multimedial Transformations
When in 1905 the Polish writer Henryk Sienkiewicz was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature ‘for outstanding services as an epic writer’, it was his novel Quo vadis. A Narrative of the Time of Nero that motivated the committee to bestow this notable honour. The extraordinary international success of Quo vadis catapulted the author into literary stardom, placing him at the top of international league tables for the sheer quantity of his readers. …
The Pleasures and Punishments of Roman Error
Early cinema, this chapter argues, struggled to balance the competing claims of moral purpose and entertainment where the legacy of Roman error was concerned. At the same time, cinema also sought to redefine and outperform other modes of classical reception (such as theatre, opera, painting, and the novel). Through a close examination of the French film Héliogabale, ou l’orgie romaine ( Elagabalus, or the Roman Orgy ), this chapter reveals how th…
From 1916 to the Arrival of Sound
By the time of the First World War, film production was a global industry, the motion picture an influential medium of communication about political, social and aesthetic values, and visits to the film theater an institutionalized cultural practice. By 1916, the new Hollywood aesthetic was becoming far more attractive to spectators at home and abroad, and the Hollywood star and studio systems the object of the European film industries' envy. Film…
The Ancient World in Silent Cinema
In the first four decades of cinema, hundreds of films were made that drew their inspiration from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Bible. Few of these films have been studied, and even fewer have received the critical attention they deserve. The films in question, ranging from historical and mythological epics to adaptations of ancient drama, burlesques, cartoons and documentaries, suggest a fascination with the ancient world that competes in …
Projecting the Past
Brought vividly to life on screen, the myth of ancient Rome resonates through modern popular culture. Projecting the Past examines how the cinematic traditions of Hollywood and Italy have resurrected ancient Rome to address the concerns of the present. The book engages contemporary debates about the nature of the classical tradition, definitions of history, and the place of the past in historical film
Caesar in the USA
"The figure of Julius Caesar has loomed large in the United States since its very beginning, admired and evoked as a gateway to knowledge of politics, war, and even national life. In this lively and perceptive book, the first to examine Caesar's place in modern American culture, Maria Wyke investigates how his use has intensified in periods of political crisis, when the occurrence of assassination, war, dictatorship, totalitarianism or empire app…

The Roman mistress
"From Latin love poetry's dominating and enslaving beloveds, to modern popular culture's infamous Cleopatras and Messalinas, representations of the Roman mistress (or the mistress of Romans) have brought into question both ancient and modern genders and political systems. The Roman Mistress explores representations of transgressive women in Latin love poetry and British television drama, in Roman historiography and nineteenth-century Italian anth…
Parchments of Gender
Parchments of Gender builds up an important source of inter-disciplinary information for the study of gender and the body in ancient history. The central and unifying theme is the body's relation to gender. With essays covering the ancient communities of Greece, Rome, and Judaea, the volume argues that the body is culturally constructed and not a sign of what is natural. Ancient bodies are parchments of gender: textual skins on which gender is in…

Woman in the Mirror
The modern study of the female body in the ancient world is largely a study of reflections. In the metaphors of modern criticism, we do not gaze directly upon women of flesh and blood, instead we see women only indirectly in the mirror of discourses composed almost exclusively by men.1 Thus two recent collections of essays on women in antiquity have stressed our confrontation with male constructions of the female by employing the terms 'reflectio…
Taking the Woman's Part
When a woman writes herself into the genre of Roman love elegy she appears to break the recognised conventions for its production, according to which woman is the passive object of erotic desire not its active subject, the written not the writer. In discussing the elegiac poetry composed by Sulpicia, one means by which critics have expressed her extraordinary achievement has been to engender Roman love elegy. For Nick Lowe, Sulpicia's unique inte…

Written Women
The narrative organization of Propertius' first poetry-book seems to encourage a practice of reading the characters and events of his love elegy as real. The predominantly autobiographical mode allows the reader to equate the lover of the text with the author Propertius. Direct addresses to a beloved ‘Cynthia’ who is allocated physical and psychological characteristics suggest that the narrative's female subject has a life outside the text as Pro…
The elegiac woman at Rome
How do women enter the discourse of Augustan love poetry and become elegiac? Studies of the representation of women in antiquity generally suggest that women enter its literatures doubly determined. Broadly speaking, literary representations of the female are determined both at the level of culture and at the level of genre: that is to say by the range of cultural codes and institutions which order the female in a particular society and by the co…
Verbal Descriptions of Spatial Relations in Line Drawings by Young Children
A study of the ability of children to describe verbally spatial relations depicted in line drawings was carried out. The subjects were 60 children between the ages of 4 1/2 and 7 1/2 years. The test material consisted of 27 cards. Each card had one or two lines and a circle drawn on it. The lines and the circle were drawn in different spatial relations to one another. The results show that the ability of children to describe such spatial relation…

Experimental Study of the Effect of Letter Reversals on Reading
A study of the effect of letter reversals (mirror reversals) on the direction of reading words exposed tachistoscopically was carried out. The subjects were twenty experienced readers, and the test material consisted of words which could be read meaningfully in the right—left as well as in the left‐right direction. The words were presented with and without letter reversals. The results show that, under these conditions, subjects read from right t…
Visual Discrimination and Verbal Comprehension of Spatial Relations by Young Children
A comparison of the ability of young children to discriminate visually between different spatial relations in line drawings with their comprehension of the verbal instructions regarding the same relations was carried out. The subjects were 60 children between the ages of 4 and 7 . The test material consisted of 27 cards. Each card had one or two lines and a circle drawn on it. The lines and the circle were drawn in different spatial relations to …
