About the Book
When A Young Man Falls in Love by Vincent J. Rosivach offers a critical and thought-provoking exploration of ancient New Comedy and its portrayal of romantic relationships. Through detailed analysis, the book uncovers how sexual relationships between male and female protagonists in Greek and Roman plays are often rooted in exploitation rather than genuine affection or equality.
Rosivach challenges traditional interpretations of these classical works, posing significant questions about the societal and cultural norms of antiquity, especially regarding gender dynamics and the representation of women. This scholarly work sheds new light on how ancient drama reflects—and often reinforces—the patriarchal values of its time.
Accessible yet academically rigorous, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of classical studies, literature, gender studies, and ancient drama. It invites readers to re-examine familiar texts with a more critical lens, making it an important contribution to contemporary classical scholarship and feminist literary criticism.
