Nineteenth-century German classical philology underpins many
structures of the modern humanities. In this book, Constanze
Guthenke shows how a language of love and a longing for closeness
with a personified antiquity have lastingly shaped modern
professional reading habits, notions of biography, and the
self-image of scholars and teachers. She argues that a discourse of
love was instrumental in expressing the challenges of
specialisation and individual formation (Bildung), and in
particular for the key importance of a Platonic scene of learning
and instruction for imagining the modern scholar. The book is based
on detailed readings of programmatic texts from, among others,
Wolf, Schleiermacher, Boeckh, Thiersch, Dilthey, Wilamowitz and
Nietzsche. It makes a case for revising established narratives, but
also for finding new value in imagining distance and an absence of
nostalgic longing for antiquity.
