This collection of essays explores aspects of the reception of
ancient Rome in a number of European countries from the late
eighteenth century to the end of the Second World War. Rome has
been made to stand for literary authority, republican heroism,
imperial power and decline, the Catholic Church, the pleasure of
ruins. The studies offered here examine some of the sometimes
strange and unexpected places where Roman presences have manifested
themselves during this period. Scholars from several disciplines,
including English literature and history of art, as well as
classics, bring to bear a variety of approaches on a wide range of
images and texts, from statues of Napoleon to Freud's analysis of
dreams. Rome's seemingly boundless capacity for multiple, indeed
conflicting, signification has made it an extraordinarily fertile
paradigm for making sense of - and also for destabilizing -
history, politics, identity, memory and desire.
