This edited collection argues that we need to discover new ways to draw on our discipline and the material it studies to engage in meaningful ways with these new academic and societal challenges. The chapters included in the collection interrogate the very processes of reception and continue the work of destabilising the concept of a pure source text or point of origin. Our aim is to break through the boundaries that still divide our ancient texts and material culture from their reception, and interpretive communities. Our contributors engage with these questions theoretically and\/or through the close examination of cultural artefacts. They problematise the concept of a Western, elitist canon and actively push the geographical boundaries of reception as both a local and a global phenomenon. Individually and cumulatively, they actively engage with the question of how to marshal the classical past in our efforts to respond to the challenges of our mutable contemporary world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51062168715537,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51062171894033,"sku":"NIN9783110773385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3110773384.jpg?v=1785991749"},{"product_id":"war-as-spectacle-book-anastasia-bakogianni-9781472522290","title":"War as Spectacle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar as Spectacle \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the display of armed conflict in classical antiquity and its impact in the modern world.

The daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra she famously supported her brother's quest to avenge their father's murder even at the cost of matricide. Her passion for justice and her desire for vengeance have echoed down the centuries to the modern era. Enshrined as the mourner of Greek tragedy par excellence Electra has enjoyed a long and rich reception history. \u003ci\u003eElectra, ancient and modern\u003c\/i\u003e, examines the treatment of Electra by all three ancient tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, and their dialogue with the mythical tradition that preceded them. The focus then shifts forward in time to case studies of her reception in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gradually Electra's dark desires re-emerge over the course of these three centuries until her passionate cries for vengeance are heard once again. Through its detailed analysis of Electra, this book also provides a helpful introduction to the study of Classical Reception, its ambitions and methods.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52655239364881,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52655239725329,"sku":"NLS9781905670376","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781905670376.jpg?v=1786441869"},{"product_id":"war-as-spectacle-book-anastasia-bakogianni-9781350005884","title":"War as Spectacle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar as Spectacle \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the display of armed conflict in classical antiquity and its impact in the modern world.
