- Additional information
- The author organised the conference that was the basis for many of the papers; she defined the volume's aims and objectives, selecting the papers for inclusion, and commissioning additional chapters to ensure that the published volume was in line with her vision. She worked with all contributors on at least one full redraft of their chapter before publication. The author also contributed two original 7,000 word chapters and a 14,000 word Introduction to the volume. Through its extended length and scope, the Introduction provided (i) a description of the scope, aims, and structure of the volume; (ii) a crucial delineation for the volume as a whole of historical development of the different roles that Greece and Rome have played and continue to play in the erotic imaginary of the West; the Greek/ Roman binary that it analysed in detail is key to the volume's interests, approaches, and arguments; (iii) a methodological framework for dealing with the vexed question of separating out responses to Greece and Rome in the study of the reception of ancient 'homosexuality'.
