the way one could, and did, undo the constraining effects of imperial oppression. Tacitus, Suetonius, and Juvenal all figure in Bartsch's shrewd analysis of historical and literary responses to the brute facts of empire; even the Panegyricus of Pliny the Younger now appears as a reaction against the widespread awareness of dissimulation. Informed by theories of dramaturgy, sociology, new historicism, and cultural criticism, this close reading of literary and historical texts gives us a new perspective on the politics of the Roman empire - and on the languages and representation of power."--Jacket." ; .2018

I hate her and I could think of a long list why she is unfit for office but it appears she is retelling these jokes to show what she was up against as a women at that time, Her laughing appeared to be about the situation & not the actual jokes. Still hope she loses the runoff. — Respected Conqueror (@GaryPranzo) November 26, 2018

You don't retell the bad joke. You say "I knew what they were like by the distasteful or offensive jokes they told" and leave it at that. She has no pre-planned thought process. Except these speeches are written out so she has really poor judgement. — Tabs (@tabs8) November 27, 2018
