Classics in Progress by T P Wiseman

Presents a collection of essays by contemporary classicists, revealing different discoveries, interpretations and ways of exploring the experiences of the ancient world. The chapters range in subject matter from contemporary poets' exploitation of Greek and Latin authors to modern arguments about ancient democracy and slavery.

Anyone who questions whether there remains value in studying ancient Greeks and Romans need only consult almost any page of this volume to find a discipline that, far from dead, is kicking and scratching as it continues to grow* The Historian *
