A critical edition Type: Thesis Year: 1991 Abstract: "This dissertation provides a fully annotated text of Sarah Fielding's "The Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia" based on the first edition of 1757. It records Fielding's use of Greek and Roman writers, particularly Plutarch, Dio Cassius, Appian, Suetonius, and Josephus. The editor's introduction discusses the printing, publication, and reception of the Lives, suggests its relation to eighteenth-century biographies, places it in a broader context of narrative writing, and considers Fielding's depiction of gender roles.
