Religion in Irish Literature and Culture
Contrary to the widespread belief in Ireland's rapid secularisation, religion continues to play a significant role in twenty-first-century Irish culture, though not in the familiar forms of Catholicism and Protestantism. This volume seeks to redress the balance and demonstrate that religion intersects with and informs past and present Irish culture. While writers from Sean O'Casey to Edna O'Brien have challenged religious oppression, Joyce's here…
The Poetry of Unease in the First World War
First World War poetry has often been stereotyped in the public imagination as protest poetry, but scholarship has shown that the poetry composed during the war varied in its perspectives. Protest poetry did become a feature, but its didacticism contrasts with the more nuanced poetry of unease that was evident from the onset of the war. This article analyses ways in which the poetry of unease deployed the classical texts of ancient Greece and Rom…
Clássicos em Movimento
A discussão analisa as implicações do recente global turn na teoria cultural para os estudos clássicos e a recepção clássica. Inicia-se com um resumo das associações mais amplas do conceito global, que têm implicações negativas para a pesquisa e o ensino no âmbito das clássicas, e que influenciam a construção e a interpretação de paradigmas. O global turn é então situado no contexto de outros turns culturais e conceituais que impactaram o estudo …
Rupert Brooke, Charles Sorley, Isaac Rosenberg, and Wilfred Owen
This book examines how, when, and why four First World War poets engaged with Greek and Roman antiquity. Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, Isaac Rosenberg, and Charles Sorley all died in the war. They came from diverse social, educational, and cultural backgrounds but for each of the writers engagement with classical material was decisive in shaping their war poetry. The world views and cultural hinterlands of Brooke and Sorley were framed by the Gree…
Aspirations and Mantras in Classical Reception Research
The poetics of cultural memory
This article aims to inform and sharpen debate about the status of poetry and art in providing evidence about the First World War and in influencing attitudes to the War, then and subsequently. It is constructed around five cruxes, all of which relate to each other as well as to the overall topic. I start by considering visual evidence. This is important both because of its content and because war artists were ‘approved’ by the authorities at the…
Homer, Repetition and Reception
Classics in the Modern World
This book investigates the notion of a ‘democratic turn’, a perspective applied to the ways in which Greek and Roman ideas, texts, and images have been absorbed, reworked, and communicated in the wider world in the modern period and have attracted the interest of recent research. The questions raised by the concept are historical and philosophical as well as artistic and political and they have been intensified (but not invented) by current schol…
Colloquium
This article offers reflections arising from a recent colloquium at the Open University on the implications of the development of digital humanities for research in arts disciplines, and also for their interactions with computing and technology. Particular issues explored include the ways in which the digital turn in humanities research is also a spatial/visual one; the tension between analysis based on the extensive ‘hard’ data generated by digi…

Classics in Post-Colonial Worlds
Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects to become first a means of challenging colonialism, and then a rich field for creating cultural identities which blend the old and the new. Nobel prize winners such as Derek Walcott and Seamus Heaney have rewritten classical material in their own cultural idioms, while public sculpture in southern Africa draws on Greek and Ro…
Singing across the Faultlines
This chapter tries to disentangle some of the cultural strands involved in recent receptions of Homer. Eschewing linear models of reception, it instead focuses on the potential of Homer receptions to reveal faultlines within and between cultures. It argues that many of the most successful creative adaptations of Homer have been preoccupied with the question of roots. Focusing on the poetry of Michael Longley, and Derek Walcott's The Odyssey: A St…
Classics in Post-Colonial Worlds (Classical Presences)
Classical material was traditionally used to express colonial authority, but it was also appropriated by imperial subjects and put to new uses. In this collection of essays, international scholars debate the relationship between the culture of Greece and Rome and the changes that have followed the end of colonial empires
Introduction
A Companion to Classical Receptions
Examining the profusion of ways in which the arts, culture, and thought of Greece and Rome have been transmitted, interpreted, adapted and used, A Companion to Classical Receptions explores the impact of this phenomenon on both ancient and later societies. The book provides a comprehensive introduction and overview of classical reception - the interpretation of classical art, culture, and thought in later centuries, and the fastest growing area i…
Translating Greek Tragedy to the Modern Stage
Translating Greek Tragedy to the Modern Stage Lorna Hardwick I'm approaching this issue from the starting point of someone whose main interests are in the reception of ancient Greek tragedy on the modern stage—that is, the ways in which the plays have been transmitted, translated, rewritten, and realized across time, place, and culture. Performed translations enable audiences to experience interaction between ancient and modern. They can also be …
The Cambridge Companion to Homer
The Cambridge Companion to Homer is a guide to the essential aspects of Homeric criticism and scholarship, including the reception of the poems in ancient and modern times. Written by an international team of scholars, it is intended to be the first port of call for students at all levels, with introductions to important subjects and suggestions for further exploration. Alongside traditional topics like the Homeric Question, the divine apparatus …
