Clásicos después de la Antigüedad

Esta serie profundiza en la intrincada relación entre las tradiciones clásicas y el mundo antiguo que las inspiró. Examina cómo los legados literarios, históricos y culturales de la antigua Grecia y Roma han sido adoptados y reinterpretados a lo largo de los siglos, desde la época medieval hasta la actualidad. Cada volumen revela cómo las épocas posteriores lidiaron con la reinvención y comprensión de esta herencia, a menudo atrapadas entre la aceptación y el rechazo. La colección también explora la relevancia perdurable de las instituciones e ideas antiguas en el discurso contemporáneo y sus desafíos en nuestra era globalizada.

    This book explores the surprising versatility of Homer's epics of wandering and homecoming for the radical formal experiments and changing sociopolitical agendas of modernist writers responding to war, tyranny, censorship, and empire. Of interest to students and researchers interested in classical receptions, modernism, twentieth-century literature, and comparative literature.

    Modernism and Homer
  • Nineteenth-century German classical philology underpins many structures of the modern humanities. This book shows how a language of love and a longing for closeness with a personified antiquity has lastingly shaped modern professional reading habits, notions of biography, and the self-image of scholars and teachers.

    Feeling and Classical Philology
  • Argues that immigration politics is a central - but overlooked - object of inquiry in the democratic thought of classical Athens. Thinkers criticized democracy's strategic investments in nativism, the shifting boundaries of citizenship, and the precarious membership that a blood-based order effects for those eligible and ineligible to claim it.
