Infos

Beyond the Fifth Century brings together 13 scholars from various disciplines (Classics, Ancient History, Mediaeval Studies) to explore interactions with Greek tragedy from the 4th century BC up to the Middle Ages. The volume breaks new ground in several ways: in its chronological scope, the various modes of reception considered, the pervasive interest in interactions between tragedy and society-at-large, and the fact that some studies are of a comparative nature.

Rezensionen

lt;P>"This collection of articles is self-confessedly designed for scholarly readers, graduates and ‘adventurous undergraduates’ (p.5). It belongs on the shelves of specialist researchers and university libraries."
Claire Gruzelier in Classcis for All 02.06.2018 https://classicsforall.org.uk/book-reviews/beyond-the-fifth-century-interactions-with-greek-tragedy-from-the-fourth-century-bce-to-the-middle-ages/

"This is a splendidly conceived volume, whose contents are always stimulating and in several cases attain the high standard which the editors' introduction sets for them. If the topics it covers are not unfamiliar or revolutionary in themselves, nevertheless the approaches to them often are, as is the very act of collecting them within a single themed volume and thus conceptualizing them as interrelated aspects of the reception of tragedy."
Bob Cowan in BMCR 2011.11.49
