The Fractured Voice: Silence and Power in Imperial Roman Literature
Amy A. Koenig
Confronts the trope of muteness in Imperial Roman literature, arguing that this understanding of silence is incomplete. Amy Koenig shows that the Roman perception of silence was more complicated than a simple binary and that authors used voiceless characters to interrogate the concept of voicelessness in ways that would be taboo in other contexts.
