Klassik nach der Antike

Diese Reihe befasst sich mit der komplexen Beziehung zwischen klassischen Traditionen und der antiken Welt, die sie inspiriert hat. Sie untersucht, wie das literarische, historische und kulturelle Erbe des antiken Griechenlands und Roms über die Jahrhunderte hinweg, vom Mittelalter bis heute, übernommen und neu interpretiert wurde. Jeder Band enthüllt, wie spätere Generationen mit der Neuerfindung und dem Verständnis dieses Erbes rangen, oft gefangen zwischen Annahme und Ablehnung. Die Reihe beleuchtet auch die anhaltende Relevanz antiker Institutionen und Ideen in der heutigen Debatte und ihre Herausforderung in unserer globalisierten Zeit.

Empfohlene Lesereihenfolge

  • Set against the backdrop of Victorian Britain, the narrative explores the ambitious attempts to reclaim and reinterpret the ancient world. It delves into the cultural, social, and political challenges faced during this era, revealing the complexities and ultimate failures of these endeavors. Through a critical lens, the book examines the interplay between history and imperial aspirations, highlighting the tensions between nostalgia and reality in the Victorian pursuit of the past.

    Classical Victorians
  • 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.
