Santoro L'Hoir, Francesca. The rhetoric of gender terms : 'man', 'woman', and the portrayal of character in Latin prose / by Francesca Santoro L'Hoir. Leiden ; New York : Brill, 1992. 1 online resource (x, 216 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava. Supplementum, 0169-8958 ; 120 Includes bibliographical references (p. 205-208) and index. The aim of this work is to recover classical Roman assumptions about women on the basis of the surviving linguistic data. The author provides a control to her study of the connotations of the major Latin words for women in the form of a corresponding examination of how Roman authors use the various words for men. The resulting analysis throws light not only on Roman gender vocabulary but also on Roman cultural perceptions of class, moral worth and nationality. Furthermore, the author's detailed discussions of strictly linguistic evidence enable her to offer several original and persuasive insights about the traditional Latin literary representation of women. Understanding the connotative range of gender terms such as homo , vir , femina , mulier also reveals the value judgments made by ancient authors on male and female behaviour and can even be applied as a tool of historical analysis.
