Description

The Classical Tradition: Art, Literature, Thought presents an authoritative, coherent, and wide-ranging guide to the afterlife of Greco-Roman antiquity in later Western cultures and a ground-breaking reinterpretation of large aspects of Western culture as a whole from a classical perspective. The authors provide an overview of developments in the English-speaking, French, German and Italian traditions, a critical review of selected examples and a concise point of reference, engaging in current theoretical debate on various fronts, from hermeneutics to gender.
