In this volume, literary scholars and ancient historians from
across the globe investigate the creation, manipulation and
representation of ancient war landscapes in literature. Landscape
can spark armed conflict, dictate its progress and influence the
affective experience of its participants. At the same time, warfare
transforms landscapes, both physically and in the way in which they
are later perceived and experienced. Landscapes of War in Greek and
Roman Literature breaks new ground in exploring Greco-Roman
literary responses to this complex interrelationship. Drawing on
current ideas in cognitive theory, memory studies, ecocriticism and
other fields, its individual chapters engage with such questions
as: how did the Greeks and Romans represent the effects of war on
the natural world? What distinctions did they see between spaces of
war and other landscapes? How did they encode different experiences
of war in literary representations of landscape? How was memory
tied to landscape in wartime or its aftermath? And in what ways did
ancient war landscapes shape modern experiences and representations
of war? In four sections, contributors explore combatants’
perception and experience of war landscapes, the relationship
between war and the natural world, symbolic and actual forms of
territorial control in a military context, and war landscapes as
spaces of memory. Several contributions focus especially on modern
intersections of war, landscape and the classical past.
