This volume, from an international and interdisciplinary cohort of
scholars, offers independent-minded essays about central Greek
texts and about the relation of social theory and comparative
method to the study of archaic and classical Greek literature. It
is in honour of James M. Redfield, whose innovative and
theoretically-informed work has been a touchstone for the
contributors; it includes an Introduction that discusses Redfield's
work, as well as a complete Bibliography of Redfield's scholarship.
The volume is divided into three parts: on Homer; Plato in
conversation with epic, tragedy, and comedy; and finally reception
and transmission. An exploration of the dialectical relationship
between literary genre and social form animates many of the essays.
Drawing on work in anthropology, linguistics, sociology, art
history, and philosophy, this volume offers ground-breaking
perspectives on the study of Greek literature. It will be an
invaluable resource to students and researchers alike.
