Review |
A
groundbreaking book shedding light on the literature and sexual imagery
of Ancient Mesopotamia, one of the earliest literate civilisations with
a strong scribal tradition. The author shows undeniable scholarship, knowledge
of the vast mythology of Mesopotamia and flawless research regarding cuneiform
texts. Indeed, this is a book that should be present in the shelves not
only of those interested in Ancient Mesopotamia but also ancient poetry
and the roots of eroticism in world literature. On top of all this, it also
provides a contribution to current debates about sex, eroticism and gender.
