These texts provide insight into the social status, struggles, and achievements of women during the earliest periods of recorded human history (c.2300–540 BCE). In three introductory chapters and a concluding chapter, Charles Halton and Saana Svärd provide an overview of the civilization of ancient Mesopotamia and examine gender by analyzing these different kinds of texts. The translations cover a range of genres, including hymns, poems, prayers, letters, inscriptions, and oracles. Each text is accompanied by a short introduction that situates the composition within its ancient environment and explores what it reveals about the lives of women within the ancient world. This anthology will serve as an essential reference book for scholars and students of ancient history, gender studies, and world literature.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 560gContributor: Charles Halton (Edited and translated by), Saana Svärd (Edited and translated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Ancient HistoryAuthor: Charles HaltonRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
