Cleopatra
Histories, Dreams and Distortions
'Brilliant and discursive'Antonia Fraser, Sunday Times'Hughes-Hallett's exemplary reappraisal ... throws a searching light on two thousand years of male erotic fantasy' Joan Smith, New StatesmanWinner of the FAWCETT PRIZEand EMILY TOTH AWARDIn the 2,000 years since her death, Cleopatra has been recreated over and over again by poets, artists and filmmakers, each time in a form that fits the prejudices, anxieties and yearnings of the age that produced it. To Chaucer she was the model of a good wife, while to Cecil B. DeMille she was 'the wickedest woman in history'.In this revised edition of Lucy Hughes-Hallett's award-winning cultural history, the real Cleopatra - one of the most powerful women in the ancient world - is skilfully revealed alongside a legion of imaginary counterparts and the sexual, racial and political messages they carry.
