Romans in Victorian literature are at once pagan persecutors, pious statesmen, pleasure-seeking decadents, and heroes of empire, and these manifold and often contradictory representations are used as vehicles equally to capture the martial virtue of Wellington and to condemn the deviance and degeneracy of Oscar Wilde. In the works of Thomas Macaulay, Wilkie Collins, Anthony Trollope, H. Rider Haggard, and Rudyard Kipling, among others, Rome emerges as a contested space with an array of possible scripts and signifiers which can be used to frame masculine ideals, or to vilify perceived deviance from those ideals, though with a value and significance often very different to ancient Greek models. 000857718 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on January 8, 2019). 000857718 650_0 $$aEnglish fiction$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 000857718 650_0 $$aRomans in literature. 000857718 651_0 $$aRome$$xIn literature. 000857718 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780198833031 000857718 830_0 $$aClassical presences. 000857718 830_0 $$aOxford scholarship online. 000857718 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000857718 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198833031.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000857718 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:857718$$pGLOBAL_SET 000857718 980__ $$aEBOOK 000857718 980__ $$aBIB 000857718 982__ $$aEbook 000857718 983__ $$aOnline
