Purchase options and add-ons

This study examines the reception of Cleopatra from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day as it has been reflected in popular culture in the United States of America. Daugherty provides a broad overview of the influence of the Egyptian queen by looking at her presence in film, novels, comics, cartoons, TV shows, music, advertising and toys. The aim of the book is to show the different ways in which the figure of Cleopatra was able to reach a large and non-elite audience. Furthermore, Daugherty makes a study of the reception of Cleopatra during her own lifetime. He begins by looking at her portrayal in the vicious propaganda campaign waged by Octavian against his rival Marc Antony. The consequence was that Cleopatra was left with a tarnished reputation after the civil war. Daugherty’s examination of both the historical and contemporary reception of Cleopatra shows the enduring legacy of one of history’s most remarkable queens.

Review

"This book is a broad and well-researched introduction to the evergreen subject of Cleopatra's portrayal in the pop culture of the United States. Students and scholars of media studies and Classics will find this work especially useful." ―World History Encyclopedia

“This exuberant book unveils the layers of 'infinite variety' woven through the modern popular reception of Cleopatra as notorious queen, marketing icon, and star of page and screen. Vibrantly illustrated and meticulously researched, written in the engaging style of a lifelong devotee, The Reception of Cleopatra in the Age of Mass Media is an essential contribution to Cleopatra reception studies that will satisfy students and scholars while stimulating the appetite for more.” ―Monica S. Cyrino, Professor of Classics, University of New Mexico, USA

“Daugherty's book brings the reception of Cleopatra into the twenty-first century and offers a fresh look at the American Cleopatra from silent film to video games, graphic novels, and young adult literature.” ―Prudence Jones, Associate Professor of Classics, Montclair State University, USA

"This volume serves as a valuable resource for high school students embarking on research, essays, or presentations. The detailed bibliographies at the end of the book provide guidance for further exploration into specific topics, enabling students to delve deeper into areas of personal interest. Its interdisciplinary approach, engaging writing style, and extensive references make it a useful tool for expanding knowledge and fostering critical thinking." ―Journal of Classics Teaching
