Utopia Antiqua: Readings of the Golden Age and decline at Rome - Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies
Evans, Rhiannon (University of Melbourne, Australia)
Evans explores the tropes of the utopian and dystopian in ancient Roman texts. She addresses the ways in which concepts of the idealized and degenerate functioned as metaphor and symbol in Roman discourses. Utopia and its inverse are vital markers of cultural yearning and desire.
