New book release | Reading Roman Pride

Oct. 7, 2020

Reading Roman Pride, a new book by Yelena Baraz (past acting director; Classics) examines Roman discourse of pride from two distinct complementary perspectives. The first is based on scripts, mini-stories told to illustrate what pride is, how it arises and develops, and where it fits within the Roman emotional landscape. The second is semantic, and draws attention to differences between terms within the pride field. To be published in November 2020.
