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.
Klasika po antike Séria
Táto séria skúma zložitý vzťah medzi klasickou tradíciou a antickým svetom, ktorý ju inšpiroval. Skúma, ako boli literárne, historické a kultúrne dedičstvo starovekého Grécka a Ríma preberané a interpretované naprieč stáročiami, od stredoveku po súčasnosť. Každá kniha odhaľuje, ako sa neskoršie generácie snažili pretvoriť a pochopiť tento odkaz, často v napätí medzi prijatím a odmietnutím. Séria sa tiež zaoberá tým, ako antické inštitúcie a myšlienky stále rezonujú v dnešných debatách a ako sa s týmto odkazom vyrovnávajú v globalizovanom svete.
