Abstract

Although all three of the books under review address aspects of eco nomic development in early America, the periods covered, method ologies chosen, and theoretical assumptions of each author diverge dramatically. Robert Wright starts with the ubiquitous problem in America of insufficient financial liquidity: business in the colonial and early national periods was persistently conducted without enough currency or adequate institutions to meet expanding economic needs.

Abstract

This paper suggests some far-reaching symbolic implications for women s hair in Latin love elegy. Hairdressing hairdressers and hair loss provided a metaphorical vehicle by which Tibullus (1.8) Propertius (2.18) and above all Ovid (Ars Amatoria 3; Amores 1.11-12, 2.7-8, 1.7, and 1.14) interrogate the power relationships that underpin Roman society: between master and slave, women and men, Rome and her provinces. In my analysis, elegiac hair becomes an index to the socioeconomic realities of urban self-fashioning as well as a locus of anxiety about Rome's increasing reliance on imported labor and consumer goods., Hair, more than any other body part, visibly expresses gender, ethnicity, even sexual availability. It is also a battleground, simultaneously public and personal, over which the claims of self and [...]
