Cleopatra

Hughes-Hallett, …

'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.

Fabulous

Hughes-Hallett, …

From the author of the “sophisticated and erudite” Peculiar Ground (Boston Globe) comes a collection of classic, witty fables, elegantly updated for our modern times.It's in the nature of myth to be infinitely adaptable.Each of these startlingly original stories is set in modern Britain. Their characters include a people-trafficking gang-master and a prostitute, a migrant worker and a cocksure estate agent, an elderly musician doubly befuddled by dementia and the death of his wife, a pest-controller suspected of paedophilia and a librarian so well-behaved that her parents wonder anxiously whether she’ll ever find love.They’re ordinary people, preoccupied, as we all are now, by the deficiencies of the health service, by criminal gangs and homelessness, by the pitfalls of dating in the age of #metoo. All of their stories, though, are inspired by ones drawn from Graeco-Roman myth, from the Bible or from folk-lore.The ancients invented myths to express what they didn’t understand. These witty fables, elegantly written and full of sharp-eyed observation of modern life, are also visionary explorations of potent mysteries and strange passions, charged with the hallucinatory beauty and horror of their originals.
