An edition of Brill's companion to the reception of classics in international modernism and the avant-garde (2017)

Brill's companion to the reception of classics in international modernism and the avant-garde

by and

Brill's Compantion to the Reception of Classics in International Modernism and the Avant-Garde' examines how the writers and artists who lived from roughly the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth sought to build a new world from the ashes of one marked by two world wars, global economic depression, the rise of nationalism, and the collapse of empires. By surveying the modernist appropriation of Ancient Greece and Rome, the fourteen chapters in this volume demonstrate how the Classics, as foundational texts of the old order, were nevertheless adapted to suit the stylistic innovation and formal experimentation that characterized modernist and avant-garde literature and art.
