Becoming Cleopatra: The Shifting Image of an Icon Paperback - 2003
by F. Royster
From the jacket flap
"Like its subject, "Becoming Cleopatra" is provocative and endlessly fascinating; unlike her, it is ultimately satisfying. At last we have a book as witty, complex and liberating as Cleopatra herself." - Kim F. Hall, Thomas F. X. Mullarkey Chair in Literature, Fordham University"Starting with Josephine Baker in the 1920s and extending to the search for a racially recognizable villain after 9/11, Royster blurs the boundaries between history and the present, between the academy and popular culture, between critical analysis and personal testimony. In this thoroughly engaging book 'Cleopatra' loses its fixity as a noun and becomes a verb." - Bruce R. Smith, author of "The Acoustic World of Early Modern England and Shakespeare and Masculinity"
