Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception
Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception presents scholarly monographs
offering new and innovative research and debate to students and scholars in the
reception of Classical Studies. Each volume will explore the appropriation,
reconceptualization and recontextualization of various aspects of the Graeco-
Roman world and its culture, looking at the impact of the ancient world on
modernity. Research will also cover reception within antiquity, the theory and
practice of translation, and reception theory.
