Antipodean Antiquities: Classical Reception Down Under de Marguerite Johnson

Antipodean Antiquities: Classical Reception Down Under: Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception

Editat de Marguerite Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2020
Leading and emerging, early career scholars in Classical Reception Studies come together in this volume to explore the under-represented area of the Australasian Classical Tradition. They interrogate the interactions between Mediterranean Antiquity and the antipodean worlds of New Zealand and Australia through the lenses of literature, film, theatre and fine art.Of interest to scholars across the globe who research the influence of antiquity on modern literature, film, theatre and fine art, this volume fills a decisive gap in the literature by bringing antipodean research into the spotlight. Following a contextual introduction to the field, the six parts of the volume explore the latest research on subjects that range from the Lord of the Rings and Xena: Warrior Princess franchises to important artists such as Sidney Nolan and local authors whose work offers opportunities for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary analysis with well-known Western authors and artists.

Recenzii

This is a timely book, given current debates about teaching 'western civilisation' in our universities. It represents a coming-of-age particularly in Australian classical reception studies, and it will surely be a stimulus to bring less descriptive and more theoretically innovative approaches to bear on the myriad forms of classical reception that saturate Australasia.
Marguerite Johnson has curated a formidable and impressively diverse collection of essays . The volume showcases a rich variety of theoretical and methodological approaches, and has the added benefit of presenting familiar classical materials in distinctly unfamiliar contexts, replete with their own unique social and cultural pressures and local systems of scholarship.
A well-rounded study highlighting the importance of Greco-Roman history and culture for many Australians and New Zealanders, from convicts to colonisers, ranging from novelists to poets to painters and film-makers. This is exemplary Classical Reception practice.
