Book Synopsis
Provides a fresh look at both the literary and material representations of Agrippina. This study exposes both the contrivances of the commissioned artists whose idealized portraits served to buttress the image of the regime and the contrasting designs of the historians whose rhetorical stereotypes and negative depictions aimed to undermine it.

Trade Review
There is much to be praised here. * Kristina Milnor, Barnard College *
[The editors'] decision to publish the text with only the lightest editorial intervention is entirely justified by the quality of Judith Ginsbury's work. But it is also, in its unfinished state, an affecting memorial to its author, dramatizing in its loose ends the loss of the discipline that her death represents. * Llewelyn Morgan, TLS *
