Opis

Applying modern dress theory to ancient evidence, this book reconstructs the social meanings attached to the dressed body in ancient Greece.

Recenzje

'Lee pulls together a variety of topics with sophistication. This book will hold special appeal for anyone working on dress, Greek art, gender, or the history of classical scholarship, but so much ground is covered that any reader will find something of interest. It achieves approachability without succumbing to superficiality and is a pleasure to read. It will become a resource for reimaging Greek dress (and perhaps even ancient dress more generally).' Laura Gawlinski, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
