This collection of original essays examines innovations in both the theory and practice of classical philology. The chapters address interdisciplinary methods in a variety of ways. Some apply theoretical insights derived from other disciplines, such as folklore studies, performance theory, feminist criticism, and the like, to classical texts. Others examine the relationships between classics and cultural studies, popular literature, film, art history, and other related disciplines. Others, again, look to the evolution of theoretical methods within the discipline of classics. Taken together, the essays offer a spectrum of new approaches in the classics and their place within the profession.
Thomas M. Falkner is professor of classical studies and dean of the faculty at the College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. Nancy Felson is professor of classics at the University of Georgia in Athens. David Konstan is professor of classics and comparative literature at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
