Roman History in Hewitt, McGuinness, Friel, Heaney
Roman History in Hewitt, McGuinness, Friel, Heaney Brian Arkins Reception Studies is a major growth area in Classics.1 The past has an impact on the present in an active rather than a passive way. T S Eliot explains: ‘Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different’.2 Marina Carr cites the example of Shakespeare: ‘he took from everywhere but…

The verbs odi et amo sum up this paradox. For odi can mean ‘detest’ or ‘loathe’, as w…
