Summary

Trends in Classics – Pathways of Reception
publishes innovative, crossdisciplinary work in the field of Classical Reception Studies, investigating the “pathways” through which Greek and Roman material has been transmitted, translated, transformed, interpreted, and represented in Postclassical Literature & Culture, Philosophy & Political Theory, Visual & Performing Arts as well as in the film industry.

The series welcomes both monographs and edited volumes providing deep insights into specific and so far neglected aspects of the reception of antiquity.
