This book explores accounts of personhood developed by Roman writers, including Lucretius, Cicero and Seneca, and discusses the relevance of ancient texts to modern debates about the history of self. It will appeal to readers of classical literature interested in gender studies, as well as scholars of rhetorical, modern and postmodern theory.
Introduction; 1. Love, literature, and philosophy; 2. The subjects of personification and personhood; 3. Mothers, sons, and metaphysics: others' agency and self-identity in the Roman stoic notion of a person; 4. Girl behind the woman: Cicero and Tullia, Lucretius and the life of the body-mind; 5. Embodied persons and bodies personified: the phenomenology of perspectives in Seneca, Ep. 121; 6. Nature's property in On Duties 1: the feminine communism of Cicero's radical aesthetics; Conclusion: repairing the text; Editions and commentaries consulted; Bibliography.
