CLEOPATRA: Histories, Dreams and Distortions
In the 2,000 years since her death, Cleopatra has been recreated by poets, artists and filmmakers into a form that fits their time, needs, and prejudices. Hughes-Hallett skillfully reveals the truth of the woman alongside the legion of imaginary counterparts and the sexual, racial and political messages they carry. Well illustrated, some in color.
