Wisconsin Studies in Classics

Mark Stansbury-O’Donnell and Matthew Roller, Series Editors

Established in 1982 with a generous bequest from Warren Moon, this series publishes books on classical art, archaeology, literature, and culture. We accept submissions in all areas of ancient studies, and are particularly eager to receive books with a focus on the following: the integration of material and literary culture, the integration of contemporary theory with ancient texts, classical art and iconography, and the art and archaeology of the Greek and Roman East.

Please send all inquiries to UW Press Acquisitions Editor Amber R. Cederström.

See also the Classical Studies subject page, which includes related titles that are not a part of this series.

The Discourse of Marriage in the Greco-Roman World: cover art of an old statue depicting a man and woman sitting upon a ledge, the man's hands reaching across the gap between them to rest on the woman's shoulders. The statue is crumbling, showing its age. Behind it is a plain, gray background, with the title text taking up much of the top half of the cover.

Insults in Classical Athens: cover art of the painting 'The Death of Socrates' zoomed in on Socrates, sitting on his bed, his left arm extended into the air. His fingers are blurred, to give it the appearance that he is making a vulgar hand signal that must be censored.
