Thinking the Greeks : A Volume in Honor of James M. Redfield Paperback / softback
Edited by Bruce M. King, Lillian Doherty
Part of the Routledge Monographs in Classical Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
This volume, from an international and interdisciplinary cohort of scholars, offers independent-minded essays about central Greek texts and about the relation of social theory and comparative method to the study of archaic and classical Greek literature.
It is in honour of James M. Redfield, whose innovative and theoretically-informed work has been a touchstone for the contributors; it includes an Introduction that discusses Redfield’s work, as well as a complete Bibliography of Redfield’s scholarship.
The volume is divided into three parts: on Homer; Plato in conversation with epic, tragedy, and comedy; and finally reception and transmission.
An exploration of the dialectical relationship between literary genre and social form animates many of the essays.
Drawing on work in anthropology, linguistics, sociology, art history, and philosophy, this volume offers ground-breaking perspectives on the study of Greek literature.
It will be an invaluable resource to students and researchers alike.
