Klasika po antice

Tato série prozkoumává složitý vztah mezi klasickou tradicí a antickým světem, který ji inspiroval. Zkoumá, jak byly literární, historické a kulturní dědictví starověkého Řecka a Říma přebírány a interpretovány napříč staletími, od středověku po současnost. Každá kniha odhaluje, jak se pozdější generace snažily přetvořit a pochopit tento odkaz, často v napětí mezi přijetím a odmítnutím. Série se také zabývá tím, jak antické instituce a myšlenky stále rezonují v dnešních debatách a jak se s tímto odkazem vyrovnávají v globalizovaném světě.

    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.
