Klassiekers na de Oudheid Reeks

Deze reeks duikt in de complexe relatie tussen klassieke tradities en de antieke wereld die hen inspireerde. Het onderzoekt hoe de literaire, historische en culturele nalatenschap van het oude Griekenland en Rome door de eeuwen heen, van de middeleeuwen tot nu, is overgenomen en opnieuw geïnterpreteerd. Elk deel onthult hoe latere tijdperken worstelden met het heruitvinden en begrijpen van dit erfgoed, vaak gevangen tussen omarming en afwijzing. De collectie verkent ook de blijvende relevantie van antieke instellingen en ideeën in het hedendaagse discours en hun uitdagingen in ons geglobaliseerde tijdperk.

    Modernism and Homer

  • Feeling and Classical Philology

    5,0(1)Tarief

    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.

    Argues that immigration politics is a central - but overlooked - object of inquiry in the democratic thought of classical Athens.
