Roman Presences: Receptions of Rome in European Culture, 1789-1945Catharine Edwards Cambridge University Press, 2007 M04 23 - 308 pages Exploring the significance of Rome from the late eighteenth century to 1945, scholars from several disciplines, including English literature and history of art as well as classics, discuss a wide range of images and texts, from statues of Napoleon to Freud's dream analysis. Rome's astonishing range of meanings has made it a fertile paradigm for making sense of--and also for problematizing--history, politics, identity, memory and desire. |
