Classicists and their counterparts in other fields have recently begun to pay greater attention to the socio-historical contexts of literary production and have attempted to historicize aesthetic practice. However, historicism, particularly New Historicism, is only one approach to the question of form, which is increasingly being brought into dialogue with a variety of other issues, such as gender. This volume brings together contributions from a diverse range of experts, examining these and other related approaches, assessing their limitations, and discussing possibilities for the future. Individual chapters discuss a variety of ancient authors, including Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Callimachus, and others, and outline the specifically Greek contribution to the debate as well as its implications for other disciplines. What emerges from this book are new ways of thinking about form and politics that will be of value to scholars and students across the humanities and social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350191594\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44761481216250,"sku":"9781350191594","price":32.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699612623096_book.jpg?v=1699779602","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-politics-of-form-in-greek-literature-9781350191594","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
