Book Synopsis
The image of Spartacus as a noble if doomed avenger is familiar and his story has been retold through history as a cautionary tale about social injustice. The series Spartacus takes a different view, with a graphically violent depiction of the man and his times and a focus on the archetype of the gladiator. This collection of new essays studies the series as an exploration of masculinity.
